Community Voting System

This community serves to endorse proposals within the movement. The voting process is designed to ensure that all voices are heard and that decisions are made in the best interest of the collective.

Voting Stages

  1. Upvote/Downvote:

    • Users can vote on proposals by either upvoting or downvoting.
    • An upvote signals support for the proposal, while a downvote expresses opposition.
  2. Ranked Choice Voting:

    • Once the initial voting phase is completed, the proposals with the highest support move to a ranked choice voting round.
    • In this round, users will rank the proposals in order of preference.
  3. Approval:

    • The final approval will be given to the proposal that secures the majority support after the ranked choice voting is complete.

MODERATORS
 

The people wanna know what date we're doing before 6/14 so we can announce then! Comment, discuss! Need to know what the top contenders are before a ranked choice vote can be set up.

Please share any significance associated with particular dates and/or any theme ideas. Or, share reasons why a particular date might not work. If there's already a comment for a date or theme that you want to uplift, please upvote it.

Please also comment about how frequently you want to mobilize during this period (should we have a July date and an August date, or just one date?)

July 26th ~ National Disability Independence Day, commemorating the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990. This was a monumental moment in Disability Rights allowing for inclusion of Disabled people in public affairs and ending centuries of segregation from public life. The ADA also provided Disabled children the right to attend and remain in public schools without fear of discrimination. The ADA explicitly prohibits the discrimination of Disabled people in all levels of government, employment, healthcare, education, and more.

The importance of making a showing on this day cannot be understated. It is clear that the government supports eugenic concepts and has so far supported the budget bill (aka the murder bill) which intends to quietly genocide Disabled people in America. They wish to cut off our life supports, medications, and treatments; to leave us to die painful deaths and say they are not the ones who murdered us. This is why we must make a giant showing of solidarity this Disability Independence Day. We must take a stand and say that we are not free until we are all free, and that our movement will defend the most vulnerable among us.
