You can help change the outcome of this election!

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!

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!

Your Courage Voter Guide is tailored to your district, so check yours 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!

Here’s the cool part -- not only does using Megaphone make sharing information quick and easy, if you sign up and share at least once this week, you’ll be entered in a drawing for a $50 gift card!

All you have to do is sign up and then click on the post you want to share. Your phone or computer will do the rest!

Click here to use Megaphone to share our Courage Voter Guide far and wide!

And we’ll see you tomorrow with Day 2’s action!

–Irene, Annie, Angela, Isidra, Mario, Marvin, Alyssa, Jen, Cecilia, and Lindsay (the Courage team)
