Fighting Back Against the Enemies of Democracy in South Dakota
The South Dakota Senate voted to repeal the citizen-backed Anti-Corruption Act in a 27-8 vote yesterday, in a brazen rejection of the will of the people. MAYDAY South Dakota activists along with our partners at Represent.Us rallied and packed the senate gallery during the vote, making it impossible to ignore opposition to the repeal. All the while, MAYDAY South Dakota's massive aerial banner proclaiming “SHAME ON YOU! RESPECT OUR VOTE!” flew over the capitol. While yesterday's vote was a setback, MAYDAY South Dakota won't stop fighting every enemy of democracy until reform is back in place.
