We plan to: 

  • Host weekly webinars on voting access, the ballot propositions, and the competitive races in California
  • Hold candidate and issue forums
  • Produce plain language voter education materials 
  • Provide outreach to assist and encourage self-advocates, families and professionals to vote
  • Create phone trees, text chains, and What’s App groups to remind people in the disability community to vote
  • Activate a social media campaign
