This “special election” is to decide whether to temporarily change California’s Congressional voting districts through 2030 and then give map-drawing back to the Citizens Redistricting Commission in 2031. Voters will also decide on whether the state should encourage the use of independent commissions to draw voting maps across the U.S.A. You can find the new and old map at https://statewidedatabase.org/d25/draft-districts/

In the past month, the executive abuse of power has reached new levels.

They have sent the National Guard into American cities to patrol our streets. This administration has slashed Medicaid, sent masked officers into our communities to conduct raids in communities across the country, opened new detention centers mired in reports of inhumane treatment and due process violations.

This is the moment for national action. We showed the strength of our movement this summer with millions peacefully turning out to condemn the administration's abuse of power – and we're ready to do it again.
 
We're teaming up with partners to lead another nationwide day of peaceful protests on Saturday, October 18.
Are you in? Find a No Kings event near you and RSVP to get all the details.
