Spread the word

The stakes are too high! We need to get everyone we know to vote early, even those we don’t normally talk about politics with. Here’s how:

🤳 Be cool, share on socials

Post on social media

🗣️Talk to your people face to face

Take an inventory of the spaces where you can talk with your friends, even the unlikely spaces. Talk to your friends directly, text them, call them. Studies have shown that our close friends and family are the most influential people in our lives. Your people need to what from you. Potential conversation spaces:

  • Family Group Chat

  • Book Club

  • Pickleball or other group sports activities

  • Fantasy Football Chat

  • Gaming Club

  • Gym mates

  • Church Group

  • Coffee shop friends

🛠️ Tips and tools for talking to friends about voting:

  • Don’t make the conversation about political parties or any specific politician. Talk to people about their right to vote and about the power their vote gives them to make life more affordable, to give their loved ones access to better schools, bright futures and more opportunities.

  • Don’t fall into ideological traps. This isn’t about voter fraud or which party is more corrupt, this is about us, the people, and our right to cast a vote freely.

  • Remember, our voting systems in California are some of the absolute strongest and we make it so everyone eligible to vote has the opportunity to vote. We shouldn’t let outside forces take away the system we have built and fought for.
