Dear Friend,
We defeated the recall! As of this morning, the count shows that 42% of
eligible voters voted in the election, and 64% said No to the Recall.
This is a win for California, and it’s time to celebrate the power of our
vote! [ [link removed] ]Click here to RSVP for a virtual post-recall celebration
especially for our Courage California members on Wednesday, September 29,
6—7pm!
Together, Californians turned out and took a stand for equity and justice.
We battled disinformation and rebuked the right-wing extremism that fueled
the Recall. We said no to rolling back our hard-fought progress in the
name of fear. We affirmed California as the state that will lead the
nation in expanding rights and protections and fighting climate change. We
made our voices heard at the polls and reclaimed the recall for all of us.
With your support, commitment, and hard work over the last six months,
Courage California established ourselves early on as a progressive and
independent leader against the Recall.
* We provided voters with all the information and tools they needed to
vote, combating disinformation and cynicism.
* We organized partner groups and leaders around the state to speak out
and take action against the recall.
* We developed communication tool kits that influenced the public and
voter conversations about the recall.
* We conducted a [ [link removed] ]statewide youth poll and used the information to
target voters and focus coordinated efforts with partners.
* We hosted a town hall and a youth rally to motivate voters and
mobilize volunteers for our voter-outreach partners.
* We launched a digital ad campaign with research-based messaging and
reached voters around the state, especially in the Central Valley and
Inland Empire.
Our work made a difference, and you made it possible. Thank you, and
cheers!
Let’s celebrate defeating the recall election together! [ [link removed] ]RSVP for our
