Opportunities & Ways to Get Involved!

“Harley Rouda, an endorsed OCYD candidate running for re-election for Congress in CA-48, is an advocate for young people in the district and fights for the values we care about, such as climate change action. His opponent, Michelle Steele, is a Trump advisor, anti-LGBT, anti-mask, and is the number one fundraiser in the country for Republican challengers. This is the Republicans’ top race, and according to Leader McCarthy, President Trump himself is watching this closer than the rest.

We must help Harley keep this seat so he can continue advocating for the values that we hold dear. Making calls is the best way to reach voters during this COVID-19 crisis. Join us this Saturday at 10am or 1pm for the Harley campaign’s Youth Day of Action (training included)! The link to RSVP is: HR4OC.us/YouthAction
