We were in Sacramento this week with the California Democracy Partnership meeting with #CALeg to fight attacks on free & fair elections. Californians overwhelmingly support the California Voting Rights Act to strengthen our democracy. Thank you, Sen. Cervantes, for authoring this vital legislation!

Californians understand that the claim
that noncitizens are voting has been
disproven by researchers across the
political spectrum for decades. The real
story is the participation gap. Millions of
eligible Californians - disproportionately
young people, people of color, people with disabilities, people with low incomes, and those for whom English is a second
language - aren't yet part of the process. A truly representative democracy requires all of us, and leaders should focus on funding the significant education and outreach work we need to do to get there.
