This November, our ballots are packed with propositions that reflect our state's progressive values—from funding schools and fighting climate change to reforming our justice system. Let's make our voices heard for a brighter, fairer California! calmatters.org/explainers/cal…

🏠🌟 President Biden's new rent control proposal is a crucial step towards ensuring fair housing costs for all Americans. This initiative will protect renters from unfair hikes, offering stability in uncertain times. #KeepTenantsHome mercurynews.com/2024/07/16/wha…

At last, after years of advocacy, 16 and 17-year-olds are on track to have their voices heard in school board elections this November. Measure QQ is finally becoming a reality, empowering our youth to shape their educational future. #YouthVote postnewsgroup.com/oakland-youth-…

Yesterday's homeless encampment sweeps were cruel, inhumane, and pointless. Do Mayor London Breed and Gavin Newsom not know how homelessness works? People will continue to be unhoused until rent is more affordable. sfstandard.com/2024/07/30/san…

#Repost from @couragecainst: 🗳️ Ballot initiatives give California citizens the ability to propose new statewide and local laws or repeal existing laws without going through the California State Legislature or the Governor.
