Election day is approaching fast, and by now much of the public has heard the arguments for and against Issue 1, the constitutional amendment on the ballot that would make citizens, not politicians, responsible for redistricting.
People from a broad spectrum of groups that support workers and a fair political system have worked tirelessly, canvassing door to door to combat the steady flow of misinformation from the opposition.
A lot of money has gone into the campaign against Issue 1, but who is behind these donations? Just a little bit of digging turns up the usual suspects, and they are all tied to finance capital and the fascist candidate for president, Donald Trump.
Citizens not Politicians – the grassroots, non-partisan coalition that has worked for the passage of the amendment – clearly (and proudly) displays the organizations and businesses that support Issue 1 on their website. Prominent among these are unions like the AFL-CIO and the IAFF, and endorsements come from groups on the left, right, and center, from businesses and faith organizations.
