UPCOMING CA DISTRICT 22 FUNDRAISER!!
TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 8TH! 5:30-6:30PM
WITH DOLORES HUERTA & JANE FONDA
Jane Fonda and Dolores Huerta will be the special guests of Central Valley Matters (CVM) during their fall online extravaganza/fundraiser on September 8 at 5:30-6:30 pm. This is your chance to learn about the people of the Central Valley and how CVM-vetted non-profit grassroots groups are agents of change in CA-22. These non-profits have persistent boots on the ground to canvass and integrate voter registration with issue-based education in ways outside canvassers cannot. They can, for example, reach numerous, remote Spanish-speaking communities — communities that are practically unreachable by out-of-district volunteer canvassers.

AN EXAMPLE OF OUR POWER IF WE ALL COME TOGETHER:
REUTERS: LATINO VOTER BACKLASH PUTS TEXAS GOVERNOR’S RACE ON DEMOCRATS’ MIDTERM MAP
Gina Hinojosa, a Democratic state representative and Democratic nominee for Texas Governor, is trying to end electoral drought that has defined Texas politics for a generation: no Democrat has won statewide office in Texas since 1994.
“Her strategy hinges on persuading Latino voters like Macias that rising costs and strained public schools matter more than the cultural and immigration issues that have pulled many Latino voters toward Republicans in recent years.”

HOW TO HELP ON A LOCAL LEVEL:
