California Voters First
San Francisco - Money in Politics Forum

Want to put an end to political gerrymandering, but not sure how to help?

As you know, we recently filed the California Voters FIRST initiative to end the extreme conflict of interest state politicians have in drawing their own voting districts by creating an independent, diverse, and politically balanced Citizen's Commission to draw district lines.

And now we need your help spreading the word and gathering signatures. To request a petition, please contact JoAnn Fuller at jfuller(at)commoncaues(dot)org or (916) 443-1792 ex. 11 and let her know how many signitures you hope to gather.

We also have other great volunteer opportunities, please go to www.commoncause.org/ca/votersfirstvolunteer to learn more. And thanks to everyone for the amazing response to our petition campaign so far!
