SIGN THE CAN’T STOP CA VOTER PLEDGE
Imagine a California where the voices of ordinary people mattered more to our government than the desires of corporate billionaires.
Your vote decides the rules that set your rent, how much you pay at the pump or grocery store and even what’s in your paycheck. Your vote determines who our elected leaders listen to: ordinary people, or their wealthy donors.
Take the pledge to vote and protect the election. Together, we can stop the billionaires this November. After you sign up, you’ll get updates on opportunities and actions happening near you to defend the elections. Join thousands of Californians in sending a clear message to billionaires: Can’t Stop California!

You can help.
