Dear John,

Did you see Neil’s email two weeks ago? He shared how he’s been working in San Jose, CA to get Black, Latinx, and Southeast Asian people out to vote to ensure working people have a say in the future of Silicon Valley (and not just wealthy corporations). One way we can do that is voting by tomorrow, November 8 by 8pm.

This election is our chance to send a clear message to our leaders that Californians from Silicon Valley to the Inland Empire demand that greedy corporations pay what they owe in taxes and fair wages. Voting together in record numbers is one important way we show up for each other and deliver the quality schools, affordable housing, and well-paying  jobs that ensure all of us can thrive.

The last day to vote is TOMORROW. Plan your vote by using our Vote Ready Checklist:

Image description: a graphic with "Let's Make a Vote Plan" and instructions in 4 sections of how to do so. The first section with an adjacent pin-drop location icon says, "Where will you vote"; the second section with an adjacent ballot box icon says, "How will you vote (by mail or at the polls)"; the third section with an adjacent vehicle icon says, "How will you get to the polls"; and the fourth section with an adjacent clock icon says, "What time will you vote". From the bottom left to right, the graphic is collaged with: an orange and black monarch butterfly, a pair of colorful homes, waves from an ocean, a smiling woman with a beanie carrying a friend laughing on her shoulders. In the top right corner the hashtag reads #CaliforniaWay.

It's that simple. Our vote is our voice. Let's do all we can to get our friends and family to the polls.

In Solidarity,
