Friend,

More than 22 million registered voters in California have received their
ballots, and it’s critical that as many voters as possible return them and
make their voices heard!

Research proves that voters are much more likely to cast their ballots
when they’re encouraged by friends and family.(1) And as a member of
Courage California, we know you care about this election.

That’s why we’ve declared this our Courageous Voter Week of Action!

Each day, we’ll give you a way to power your vote -- and important
information to share to help get your social circle to the polls, too!

[ [link removed] ]So let’s get started -- your first action is to look up your Courage
Voter Guide!

Did you know that one of the most contested Congressional races in the
nation is taking place in California’s 22nd District in the Central
Valley?

And outside spending on the race has more than DOUBLED the candidate’s own
campaign funds.(2)

Outside groups have spent more than $70 million on just a handful of House
races in California.(3) Meanwhile, corporations and other special
interests have spent more than $100 million on the 10 ballot propositions
up for a vote this year.(4)

It’s harder than ever for voters to cut through the noise and understand
what’s on our ballots – and who is funding the campaigns.

That’s where the Courage Voter Guide Comes in!

We not only lay out the candidates and what they stand for, we show you
who has endorsed them and who is funding their races. And we do the same
for the ballot initiatives, too!

out now!

And then, you can use our super-easy Megaphone tool to share information
about our Courage Voter Guide with your friends and family.

We’ve got a ready-made post to put in an email, text message, Facebook
post, or even Threads to share!
