The Fate of California Health Rights
lies in the General Election!
Make a difference - Register, Identify, Support CA Health Rights Candidates
With less than a month to go to the General Election, A Voice for Choice Advocacy asks you to do something this week, and over the next two weeks to help elect legislators who care about California Health Rights and vaccine choice. Your votes, as well as your time and money are critical. By the end of the weekend, be sure you have:
1) Registered to Vote (if you are eligible)
2) Identified which Candidates for California Health Rights you will vote for
3) Sup ported the campaigns of key Candidates who are for California Health Rights (may be outside your district)
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 work out who in your districts will further California Health Rights and vaccine choice. The individuals and makeup of the CA legislature (Assembly and Senate) is what determines what bills get passed and which don’t here in California. The County Board of Supervisors hire and fire your County Public Health Officer and your local School Board determines school policies. These are the most important races - they will decide what happens in the next 2-4 years in California, so we ask you get involved in the election process.
Register to Vote:
To vote in California, you must be registered, and the deadline to register to vote in the November 5, 2024 General Election is October 21, 2024!
Check if you are registered to vote: CA Voter Status website [[link removed]] ( [link removed] [[link removed]] )
Apply to vote if you are not registered: Online application [[link removed]] ( [link removed] [[link removed]] )
Identify which Candidates for California Health Rights you will vote for :
Federal Legislature: One Federal Senate seat is up for election in California this year. All Federal Congressmen/Congresswomen are up for election. You can find your congressional district number by entering your address here: [link removed] [[link removed]] .
State Legislature: In California, every Assembly district is up for election and half the Senate districts are up for election – the odd numbered districts. You can find your Assembly district number and your Senate district number by typing your address into this link: [link removed] [[link removed]] .
County Board of Supervisors and Local School Districts: These are specific to your local area as to how many are up for election.
Separate from A Voice for Choice Advocacy, Christina and a few others have again worked on a project which identifies which CA state candidates who are for California Families for Health Rights ( [link removed] [[link removed]] ). There are many state races where no Health Rights candidate has been identified yet. If you have vetted a candidate and know they are for vaccine choice and the have not made it to our voter guide, please email

Support campaigns of key State Candidates who are for California Health Rights:
Help where help is needed most, which may not be in your district. 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. Most of these are also races that are hotly contested and candidates on both sides are spending lots of money. They will either solidify the Super Democrat majority in the California Assembly and Senate or they will bring more balance to the two state houses. The Republicans in these races need your help!
There are two ways to support the Candidate you want in office – Money and Time. AVFCA recommends you give your time and/or money specifically to those candidates identified by California Families for Health Rights ( [link removed] [[link removed]] ) which will have the 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 $5,600 per candidate, per year. Donations can be made to candidates in any district, even if they are not in your district. AVFCA recommends you donate to those candidates identified by California Families for Health Rights ( [link removed] [[link removed]] ) and 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
The next two weeks are critical to supporting these candidates. California Families for Health Rights recommends you contact the campaign offices of the candidates identified by California Families for Health Rights ( [link removed] [[link removed]] ) at and find out how you can volunteer. This may include:
Registering people to vote
Precinct walking
Phone banking
Helping with candidate meet and greets
Putting together yard signs
Social medial posts
And much more
