We believe that business has a bottom-line interest in protecting democratic institutions. On #ElectionDay, we urge every candidate & election official to uphold our country's democratic norms, electoral processes, and rule of law. 🧵 of 4 principles we suggest they follow:

2. Eligible #voters must be able to exercise their right to participate in a transparent, safe, and secure electoral process without undue barriers. 🔐

3. #Candidates and election officials must promote a peaceful election process free from intimidation or threats of violence against election workers and opponents. ☮️

4. Claims of election irregularities must be submitted in good faith for judgment by the judicial system in accordance with the #law, and all participants must accept the outcomes of adjudication. ⚖️

Many results will not be known tonight, as all legal votes must be counted which will take time. We ask every candidate, election official, and public servant to put country first by acting in accordance to these principles and help restore election confidence. #Democracy 🇺🇸

Thank you to IBMPolicy and the leaders in the business community who have expressed their full support for #ElectoralCountReform - the #ECA must be fixed this week to ensure smooth transitions of power to protect our democracy and economy.

The year-end omnibus bill passed by Congress includes $3M for American History and Civics Academies and appropriates $20M for a competitive grant program, "Civics National Activities," more than a 4X increase from FY22. Join us in celebrating this exciting victory for our field!

More lawmakers should follow the bipartisanship shown this week in PA with Dem Gov-elect Josh Shapiro nominating Republican Al Schmidt and new Speaker Mark Rozzi governing as an independent over an evenly split coalition govt. Voters expect solutions - not turmoil.

Gutting the Office of Congressional Ethics is a direct attack on our democracy. That’s why we signed a Common Cause letter to Congress in strong opposition to the House rules package provisions that attempt to dismantle the #OCE. commoncause.org/wp-content/upl…
