Chris Melody Fields Figueredo, the Executive Director of the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center or BISC, discusses how the ballot initiative process, a process by which citizens can propose to create, amend, or repeal state laws, is core to a strong democracy. We also discuss recent attacks on the ballot initiative process and who is behind them.
