The Pitchfork Proclamation

One Vote

Ten articles for one person, one vote.

Every citizen, one equal voice — that's the whole promise of a democracy, and America has never fully kept it. From the Electoral College to gerrymandered maps to the flood of money drowning out ordinary voters, the machinery of our elections has drifted out of the people's hands. These ten articles are the blueprint to take it back: abolish the Electoral College, make Election Day a holiday, end gerrymandering, get the money out, and restore the vote to every citizen it's been denied. Not a wish — a work plan.

Economic Dignity

Ten articles for an economy of the people.

A republic isn't free if its people aren't. A citizen who can't afford a doctor, who works full time and still can't make rent, who is one illness away from ruin, isn't truly free — and the equal vote means little if the same few hands still hold the purse. Standing in the tradition of the 1892 Populists and FDR's Second Bill of Rights, these ten articles demand what an honest week's work should buy: a living wage, health care as a right, a home within reach, freedom from crushing debt, and dignity in old age. The fair share, owed to the people who built the wealth.
