Friend,

In California, candidates need to pay filing fees to be placed on the ballot. One way to reduce those costs is to collect petition signatures from registered voters in lieu of filing fees!

That is what our dedicated volunteers have been doing around the state. Our teams are spreading the word by tabling, flyering, and collecting signatures to lower fees that would otherwise come from the generous donations of our supporters.

So as we ask for your financial support we also would love to get YOUR signatures on our petitions!

Please come by, bring a friend, meet up with our volunteers and share your signature at one of these events!
