From Common Cause...

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. Not sure how? Then come to our redistricting volunteer workshop to learn all you need to know about gathering petition signatures and getting the word out. We are excited to be teaming up with the League of Women Voters of California and AARP to help you learn more about California Voters FIRST and how to effectively gather signatures to qualify it for the November ballot.
