Program areas at Equal Citizens Foundation
The organization continues to run an education project named "deliberations.us" that invites the public to deliberate the pros and cons of the electoral college system and reform options. Participants will meet in small groups on an online platform, learn about the facts of the issues, and share their opinions in group conversations. The program expenses include compensations to project organizers, consultant for content creation and technology, and website hosting fees.
The organization continues to litigate cases that seek to fundamentally reform our election system: four cases challenging winner-take-all in the electoral college known collectively as the Equal votes project; one case in Alaska related to money-in-politics. These five cases are active and at various stages of the court process. The program expenses include compensations to legal counsels and expert witnesses, court fees, and travel expenses.
The organization has an ongoing digital campaign that aims to educate and inform the public on democracy reform issues. The digital campaign creates original educational videos, audio, graphics, and written commentaries on current events related to u.s. democracy reform, and disseminates the content to the public via the organization's websites and social media accounts. The program expenses include compensations to consultants for digital marketing, content creation, public relations, as well as digital advertising and web hosting fees.
