More races than you think - and every one affects daily life.
Judges decide sentencing, bail, custody, and eviction cases — matters that touch daily life more than almost any other office. A judge needs only 60% "yes" to stay on the bench, so an informed vote here goes further than almost anywhere else on the ballot.
Educate, engage, and empower our community to increase voter turnout and civic participation — advancing a nonpartisan advocacy agenda at every level of government.
Everyone in our community is invited to take the challenge — it isn't just for our members.
