The Unity Reform Commission has recommended significant reforms to make the Democratic Party Stronger.
Sign the petition to the Democratic National Committee on this page:
We support the Unity Reform Commission’s recommendations and urge they be passed and implemented by the DNC. We believe these game-changing reforms will make the Democratic Party stronger.
The reforms include:
- Reducing unpledged “superdelegates” by nearly 60% to make our presidential nominating process more democratic. The rest are primarily members of Congress and statewide officials who are more directly accountable to the public.
- Pushing states to move to same-day voter registration.. Plus, in too many states, deadlines to change one's party affiliation are months before the election. The proposed reforms would change this so more people can vote.
- Making caucuses more accessible, open, and transparent, including allowing absentee voting and written ballots to ensure accurate recounts. There are too many working people, members of the military, older Americans, and students who are left out and not able to make their voices heard at their caucuses because of work, child care, or other obligations.
- Ensuring the DNC operates with more transparency and accountability. In addition to addressing financial transparency, the report also takes steps to ensure the DNC remains neutral in the primary process and provides transparency by making all Joint Fundraising Agreements accessible to all presidential campaigns.
Tom Perez and Keith Ellison will deliver our message of support for these reforms to the DNC.
