HOW TO SUPPORT A CANDIDATE?

With a month to go to the primaries, this week we are focusing on the
elections and how you can actively participate in electing legislators that
care about California Health Rights. From AVFCA's three emails this week
you will learn about registration, legislators and how to support campaigns.

As non-profit, A Voice for Choice Advocacy cannot endorse a candidate or
tell you who to vote for, but we can tell you how to support candidates who
will further California Health Rights and vaccine choice. The fate of many
of those running who are on our side will be determined in the March 3
primary. There are two ways to support the Candidate you want in office -
Money and Time.

While you may want to support a candidate in your district, there are only a
handful of races in the California Assembly and Senate elections that are
competitive and whose results will change the trajectory of CA Health Rights
and Vaccine Choice. AVFCA recommends you give your time and/or money
specifically to those candidates identified by California Families for
Health Rights ( <[link removed]>

greatest impact for our cause, even if they are not in your district.

Financial donations to support candidates.
The limit for individual campaign donations for CA Senators or Assembly
Members is $4,700 per candidate, per year. Donations can be made to
candidates in any district. AVFCA recommends you donate to their campaigns
directly, with a note specifically saying "Donated in the interest of
California Families for Health Rights". This will amplify your individual
donation, as it groups all donations made to a candidate under one umbrella
statement, making them realize that the mission is an important one in
getting them elected.

Volunteering to support candidates
Get in touch with the candidate or their campaign office and find out how
you can volunteer your time. This may include:
* Registering people to vote
* Precinct walking
* Canvassing
* Phone banking
* Helping with candidate meet and greets
* Putting together yard signs
* Data entry
* Social medial posts
* And much more

Only 25% of those who live in a district vote in the primary, so it is very
possible to sway primary elections. California State Senate and Assembly
primaries put through the two candidates who greatest number of votes rather
than the candidates from the two parties with the greatest votes. This is
unique to CA and is the reason why we have a super-Democrat majority because
democrats are running against democrats in most districts, and also the
reason we have to find and educate Democrats on the issue. If you want to
