8/26/25 Newsletter - Protests, Action, & Prop 50
STRONGER TOGETHER
We’re not watching politics. We’re watching a power grab.
The military in the streets of DC, with threats to show that force in other cities. The "firing" of the Federal Reserve Governor.
The takeover of the Smithsonian museums. A secret police force.
And of course, Trump and the Republican Party have launched a multi-state campaign to rig congressional maps, erase voters from the census, and weaponize law enforcement against elected officials — all in service of one goal: permanent GOP control of the House.
But Gavin Newsom and the Democrats are fighting back.
On November 4, Californians will have the opportunity to vote on
Prop 50: The Election Rigging Response Act.
Already Republicans and billionaires are sending out propaganda to mislead Californians on this proposition - have you received the mail pieces?
As Illinois Governor JB Pritzker said yesterday in his legendary speech,
"This is not the time to believe that there are two sides to this story."
Indivisible and the Nevada County and Placer Democrats are actively working on the campaign to educate our communities.
And ....
We need your help with Prop 50!
We will be canvassing, making phone calls, hosting events, and spreading the correct information to everyone we know -
can we rely on you to help?
Stay tuned for news later this week.
