My Vote Creates Change
Our voices have the power to make a profound difference in our communities.
As Californians who are working to build a state where everyone belongs, we can flex our collective power right where we live by getting involved in local actions, engaging in dialogue, and encouraging our friends, family, and neighbors to make their voices heard on issues that matter most to them.
“My Voice Creates Change” is a positive and inspirational reminder that when we all engage in democracy we can build a state of belonging for all. #WeBelongInCA
