To: The California State House, The California State Senate, and Governor Gavin Newsom
Equal voting rights for Californians
We want California’s lawmakers to create an action plan to demand equal voting rights for Californians. We are tired of our votes being “worth less” than voters’ in other states.
Why is this important?
California is not only the most populated state in the US, but is also the 5th largest economy in the entire world. There is no reason we, as Californians, should continue to be deprived of our right to have each of our votes count as one vote— equal in every way to anyone else’s in the nation. We are not asking for our votes to be worth more, but we will not continue to tolerate being deprived of our full voting rights. We want California lawmakers to come up with a plan (divestment, taxes, incentives, tariffs) to exert our influence as a global population and economic power house to demand that in upcoming elections our voices will be heard.
