THE DEPENDENCE OF POLITICAL CANDIDATES ON WEALTHY SPECIAL INTERESTS IS A SERIOUS FLAW IN OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM AND MAKES ELECTED OFFICIALS RESPONSIVE TO THEIR LARGE DONORS RATHER THAN TO THE PUBLIC. THE TREMENDOUS POWER OF SPECIAL INTEREST MONEY IN POLITICS OFTEN DROWNS OUT THE VOICE OF EVERYDAY AMERICANS, THREATENS OUR FIRST AMENDMENT FREEDOMS, AND ERODES THE FOUNDATIONS OF OUR ENTIRE DEMOCRACY. TO RESTORE FAIRNESS TO OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM, THIS CLC PROGRAM ADVOCATES FOR PASSING AND ENFORCING STRONG CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORMS THAT HELP GUARANTEE A DEMOCRACY RESPONSIVE TO THE PEOPLE. THESE REFORM SOLUTIONS INCLUDE PLACING REASONABLE LIMITS ON FUNDING OF CAMPAIGNS, COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY OF CAMPAIGN SPENDING AND PUBLIC FINANCING OF ELECTIONS. CLC HELPS ENACT SUCH POLICIES AT THE STATE, LOCAL AND FEDERAL LEVELS, AND WORKS TO ENSURE THAT THE FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION ENFORCES CURRENT CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAWS. CLC ALSO DEFENDS LAWS THAT PROMOTE THE FIRST AMENDMENT'S GUARANTEE THAT EVERY AMERICAN HAS THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS. 2061826 160700 159016 VOTING RIGHTS - VOTING SHOULD BE ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL CITIZENS, NO MATTER WHERE THEY LIVE, THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN OR HOW MUCH MONEY THEY MAKE. TO MAKE EVERY VOTE COUNT, WE NEED A SYSTEM THAT IS FREE AND FAIR TO ENSURE THAT EVERYONE'S VOICE IS HEARD, INCLUDING THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED THEIR TIME AND PAID THEIR DEBT TO SOCIETY. CLC BELIEVES THAT STATE AND FEDERAL POLICIES SHOULD UNIFORMLY PROTECT THE RIGHT TO VOTE AND PROMOTE VOTER PARTICIPATION ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. THIS CLC PROGRAM, THROUGH LITIGATION, POLICY ANALYSIS, STATE-BASED ADVOCACY, AND PUBLIC EDUCATION, SEEKS TO PROTECT THE RIGHT TO VOTE AND EXPAND ACCESS TO THE BALLOT. 1459967 19000 REDISTRICTING - DEMOCRACY WORKS BEST WHEN OUR VOTING MAPS ARE FAIRLY DRAWN ON A NONPARTISAN BASIS TO ENSURE THAT AMERICANS CAN PARTICIPATE EQUALLY IN THE ELECTION OF THEIR REPRESENTATIVES. UNFORTUNATELY, INCUMBENTS OFTEN RIG THE SYSTEM TO BENEFIT THEMSELVES, THEIR PARTY AND SPECIAL INTEREST SUPPORTERS, MANIPULATING VOTING MAPS TO DICTATE THE OUTCOME OF ELECTIONS.TWO SOURCES OF DISCRIMINATION IN VOTING MAPS ARE PARTISAN GERRYMANDERING AND ELECTORAL SYSTEMS THAT UNDER-REPRESENT PEOPLE OF COLOR. THE RESULT IS DYSFUNCTION, MISTRUST, AND PUBLIC POLICIES THAT IGNORE THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. THIS CLC PROGRAM ADVANCES AND SUPPORTS LEGAL CASES THAT ADDRESS REDISTRICTING VIOLATIONS, WORKS ON THE FRONT LINES IN THE FIGHT FOR FAIR REDISTRICTING PRACTICES IN THE STATES, AND CONTINUES TO PROMOTE VOTERS' RIGHTS TO FAIR DISTRICTS NATIONWIDE. 1692276 9071 ETHICS AND COMMUNICATIONS - ONE OF THE HALLMARKS OF A HEALTHY DEMOCRACY IS PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN THE INTEGRITY OF DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS. THAT PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IS EARNED THROUGH THE COMMITMENT OF THOSE IN AND WORKING WITH GOVERNMENT TO UPHOLD THE PRINCIPLE THAT PUBLIC SERVICE IS A PUBLIC TRUST. FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO ENACT AND ENFORCE CLEAR ETHICAL GUIDELINES AND LAWS. ONLY THEN, CAN PUBLIC OFFICIALS ADEQUATELY NAVIGATE POTENTIAL CONFLICTS AND BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE WHEN THEY BREAK THE PUBLIC'S TRUST. THIS SYSTEM IS NECESSARY TO ENSURE A HEALTHY DEMOCRACY. THIS CLC PROGRAM PROPOSES SOLUTIONS FOR STRONGER ETHICS AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT, AND SERVES AS A GOVERNMENT WATCHDOG, HOLDING ELECTED OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE FOR ETHICS VIOLATIONS. 589400 OTHER PROGRAMS 2281676 9071 7884224 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 26 0 1 84 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 13 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AK CA FL GA HI IL KS KY MD MA MI MN MS NH NJ NM NY NC OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WV WI X X X KIM BRIGHT 2027362200 1101 14TH STREET NW NO 400 WASHINGTON DC 20005 NORMAN ORNSTEIN CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 PAUL KLINGENSTEIN VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 THEODORE SHAW TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 DEBBORAH HELLMAN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARTHA MINOW TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 THURGOOD MARSHALL JR TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 PETER STAPLE TREASURER 1.00 X 0 0 0 FAITH GAY TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 TREVOR POTTER PRESIDENT 36.00 X X 364695 0 26139 CHAI FELDBLUM SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 BEERLY MARTIN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 JESSICA AMUNSON TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 NEIL EGGLESTON TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 STUART GERSON TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ADAV NOTI VICE PRESIDENT & LEGAL DIRECTOR 40.00 X 201443 0 15914 JASON JAFFERY VICE PRESIDENT DEVELOPMENT 40.00 X 188758 0 14997 TARA MALLOY SR.
