In the leadup to the 2016 Democratic National Convention the strategic leadership of Democracy Spring issued four demands to the Democratic National Committee . The demands were that the party commit , within the first 100 days of a new Congress & presidential administration , to reverse '' Citizens United v. FEC '' , act to ensure publicly funded elections , and restore the Voting Rights Act ( made effectively unenforceable by '' Shelby County v. Holder '' ) . The fourth demand , reflecting that the first three looked forward to January 2017 , was that the Democratic Party immediately abolish the superdelegate system as a show of good faith . Democracy Spring promised civil disobedience outside the convention if the demands were not met
