Vote for our futures!
We are living through a global pandemic. Our communities are facing unsafe working conditions as essential workers, the threat of eviction, lack of access to affordable and nutritious food, and so much more. With this election, our lives, health, and rights to determine our future are on the line. We all want the same things: a stable home and strong health for our family, the best education for our children and grandchildren, and the ability to care for our loved ones. In order to secure a better future for our families and communities, we must make sure our voices are heard in this election to get the resources we need. Asian American and Pacific Islander communities, along with Black, Latino, Indigenous, and working-class communities are suffering while the richest five billionaires in the country collected $76 billion within two months of the pandemic’s start. In order to recover from this crisis and rebuild our state, we must show our strength in numbers and vote for the future we want. When we represent together, we have power. Join us in voting to rebuild a California that finally works for all of us.
