What’s on my ballot?
At the November 2024 Elections, we will be voting for state propositions, elect the President and federal, state, county, city and local government officers and impact our communities’ health, housing, environmental and other policies.
Vote Yes on Prop. 5: The high cost of housing in California consumes too much of our paychecks and is hurting our quality of life. Many working families and essential workers like teachers, nurses, and firefighters are being pushed out of the communities where they work. Proposition 5 will create more housing that is affordable for working and middle-class families.
Vote No on Prop. 36: Prop 36 would roll back existing, effective safety measures like drug and mental health treatment, and dry up funding for homelessness prevention and housing. Studies have shown time and again that these are the measures that actually work to keep our communities safe.
