Vote NO on the Recall – Don’t halt CA’s progress

Next Tuesday, September 14th, is the deadline to vote in the Governor’s recall election. Based on polling, if the recall passes, we could likely end up with a far-right Trump supporter as our next Governor. By voting NO, you can help secure a progressive future for our families and communities and stop Republicans from reversing decades of progress and organizing that protects essential workers, tenants, poor and unhoused people, LGBTQ, immigrant and refugees, women, and communities of color.
We must all turnout to vote NO on the recall so that we can put the brakes on this Republican power grab. The recall is nothing more than an attempt to seize on this moment of uncertainty resulting from the pandemic in order to advance candidates whose values do not reflect our communities. We’ve seen in the past how Republican governors rollback our hard-fought wins. We can’t afford backtracking on renters’ protections, unemployment assistance, and so many other issues that most heavily impact our poor, working-class, communities of color. It is clear that this election will shape whether we continue to provide funding and resources for our communities during these times of crisis or allow the conservative few to continue to protect the selfish interests of wealthy corporate billionaires.
It is crucial we mobilize and turn out our friends and family to the ballot box. Voting at this upcoming election is harm reduction for the future of millions of Californians.

Voters will be asked:
Question 1: Do you want to recall the current Governor, Gavin Newsom?
Answer: NO
Question 2: If the majority of voters decide to recall the governor, who should replace him and become the next governor? (List will provide 46 candidates)
Recommended Answer: Leave blank
