Center for Inclusive Democracy

Thank you, John! Honored by your words.

Thank you for the congratulations! Yes, not a spectator sport!

Thank you, Nicolas!

A major milestone worth celebrating! Congratulations @cid_research on this next chapter as an independent national organization —expanding your ability to advance research, data, and engagement that our democracy needs now more than ever.

Excited for this change! CID is one of the most important sources on elections and election reform, and has been tremendously consequential both in California and nationally. I'm proud to have collaborated with CID in the past and look forward to many collaborations to come.

Congratulations to @CID_Research on becoming an independent national organization—an important step that will strengthen its mission to support an inclusive democracy for all! Remember: Democracy is not a spectator sport!
