Friend,
The polling margin of whether California Gov. Newsom is successfully
recalled is currently less than two percent!
A well-funded coalition of far-right activists have mobilized voters who
have grown weary of tough but necessary COVID safety restrictions and are
dangerously close to removing Gov. Newsom from office and replacing him
with a far-right ideologue.

voters cast a NO vote on the recall effort! There are less than 4 weeks
until the election >>
Who is leading the pack on the far-right to replace Gov. Newsom? None
other than conservative radio host Larry Elder, whose far-right views
should sound alarm bells for anyone who cares about progressive values:
“[Elders] has defended a minimum wage of zero, claimed the police are
more likely to shoot white people than Black ones, defended employers
who discriminate against pregnant women, and claimed in writing that
‘women know less than men about political issues, economics, and current
events.’”^[1]
Larry Elders joins other leading conservatives in the recall election in
praising Florida Governor Rick DeSantis’s extremely dangerous COVID
policies, dismissing climate change as the threat it is, or worse! Despite
these policies being extremely unpopular with California voters, the Far
Right is dangerously close to removing Gov. Newsom and electing one of
their ideologues to office.
We need your support in contacting California voters to make sure they
have obtained a ballot and cast their vote AGAINST the recall by September
14 – there is simply too much at stake for voters to sit out this
election.

Thank you for all that you do,
