Be sure to vote on the many critical propositions on the ballot:

YES on Proposition 15

A yes vote would reclaim $12 billion to invest in schools and vital services for our local communities. https://www.yes15.org/

YES on Proposition 16

A yes vote would reverse the ban on affirmative action so California can design programs that provide good jobs, better wages, and access to great schools for all.  https://voteyesonprop16.org/

YES on Proposition 17

A yes vote would restore voting rights to tens of thousands of people currently on parole who have returned home from incarceration yet are unable to participate in elections.  https://yeson17.vote/

YES on Proposition 18

A yes vote would expand the right to vote to 17-year-olds who will be 18 at the time of the next general election. The expansion applies to primary elections and special elections.  https://www.facebook.com/YesProp18/

NO on Proposition 20

A no vote would prevent California from enacting certain “tough on crime” policies that contribute to mass incarceration. https://noprop20.vote/

YES on Proposition 21

Proposition 21 would allow communities to limit rent increases and preserve affordable housing. It brings stability to seniors, families and working Californians.  https://yeson21ca.org/

NO on Proposition 22!

A no vote would require app-based companies to provide basic protections to their workers such as paid sick leave, workers’ compensation, and unemployment benefits.  https://calaborfed.org/no-on-prop-22-faq/

YES on Proposition 25

A yes vote would end cash bail in California and replace it with the risk assessment process. While legitimate critiques of risk assessment exist, cash bail is a hideously unfair system.  https://yesoncaprop25.com/
