Last week, we mobilized alongside 100 voting rights advocates and community members from the California Grassroots Democracy Coalition to meet with legislators and demand an end to racism in California’s voting systems. Passing SB 299 would automatically register 4.7 million eligible voters, the majority from Black, Latinx, and Asian American communities. It is time we reclaim our democracy!
The fight for SB 299 is not over. We need your help to tell Assemblymember Gail Pellerin to stop blocking California’s progress towards voter equity and racial justice.
Civil rights icon Dolores Huerta spoke during our press conference and met with Asm. Pellerin. She said, “Simply put, voter registration laws are racist.” SB 299 is the next step to end racism in California’s voting systems.
