VOTER GUIDE, RESOURCES, AND ENDORSEMENTS
We are headed into elections in November! For those of you who are able to vote, we have prepared some resources for you to make sure that you are registered to vote and know how to vote. If you are not able to vote during this election, share the resources out with friends, family, and community members who can!

For a more detailed breakdown of the statewide ballot initiatives and endorsement links:Â
âś… YES ON PROP 5:Â Safe, Affordable Communities: Endorse Prop 5 Here
Voting yes on Prop 5 would empower local voters to approve bonds for affordable housing, critical public infrastructure, and emergency response in our communities with a 55% vote – if those bonds have strict accountability and oversight, instead of the 66.7% that is currently required. Voting yes on Prop 5 would get California closer to a majority rule and allow more democratic decision making on key spending and taxing decisions that more accurately reflect majority will. Voting yes on Prop 5 would also make it easier for cities to raise more money to fund affordable housing, and build or update public infrastructure.Â

âś… YES ON PROP 33: Justice for Renters Act: Endorse Prop 33 here
Voting yes on Prop 33 would restore the right of local communities to expand rent control by repealing the Pete Wilson-signed Costa-Hawkins Act of 1995, a law that created loopholes in local rent stabilization laws. Rent control will limit how much a landlord can increase rent year after year and protect thousands of tenants across the state and provide stabilized rent/lower rent increases, stable housing, and protection from unregulated rent hikes. There are currently many limits placed on local governments dictating what types of housing can be subject to rent control. Voting yes on Prop 33 would remove these regulations and give local governments the power to establish and regulate rent control.Â

âś… YES ON PROP 6: End Slavery: Support Prop 6 here
Voting yes on Prop 6 would eliminate involuntary servitude or slavery of any form as a criminal punishment that can be used by the state.
âś… YES ON PROP 32Â
Voting yes on Prop 32 would increase California’s minimum wage to $18 an hour for all employees by 2026. This would help millions of Californians who are struggling to make ends meet and support their households' basic needs, and reduce income inequality.
❌ NO ON PROP 34: Oppose Prop 34 here
Prop 34 is a revenge initiative funded by corporate landlords and billionaires through the California Apartment Association (CAA). They want to strip AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) of its nonprofit status and disrupt its global lifesaving work—all because AHF supports rent control in California.4
❌ NO ON PROP 36: Stop Prison Spending Scam & Cuts to Local Safety Programs: Oppose Prop 36 here
Despite claiming to provide treatment, Prop 36 would actually CUT dedicated funding for treatment and victims services. It is a dangerous ballot initiative that offers no solutions, only punishment, refocusing on mass incarceration instead of community investments in mental health services, substance use treatment, and diversion programs.Â
