Tell the DNC to switch to a fairer, more inclusive process.

Black people are the most consistent and reliable voting bloc in the Democratic party yet they make up only about 4% of Iowa’s residents and only 2% of New Hampshire’s population. Iowa still has one of the most restrictive voting bans that forces people with felony convictions to jump through hoops to have their voting rights restored, which disproportionately impacts Black and brown residents caught up in the criminal injustice system.

Here is the Petition:

The outcome of Iowa and New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation elections impacts the choices available to every voter. Candidates who are deemed unviable often drop out of the race in the days following these contests. Black voters should not be an afterthought and deserve to have an early say in setting the pace for the presidential race.

It’s time to stop allowing the least representative states in our nation to influence who is on our ballots.

Tell the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to switch to a fairer, more inclusive primary election process.
