Voting in This Election

The California Poor People’s Campaign has produced a voter education page. 

The guide gives a sharp distinction of how candidates have voted and pledge to vote on key issues. 

 

We’ve put together a voting education page to support you as you make preparations to vote. The page offers a variety of resources to prepare for this year’s elections, including:

  • A Voting Record: This voting record graphic will help you see where major candidates and parties stand on the big issues of the day, from raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour to lowering prescription drug prices. It offers detailed information about how they’ve voted on these issues in the past.
  • Voter Protection Resources: These resources include voter protection hotlines and websites for help if you face any issues voting in this year’s elections. Trained experts will ensure you are able to cast a ballot.
  • Everything You Need to Vote: This graphic includes clickable links to essential resources, such as important deadlines for voting in your state, registration checks, absentee ballot requests, ballot previews ahead of time, finding local polling place locators, election reminders, and registration to vote. 

We encourage you to share this page with your friends, family, and social networks. These resources will help guarantee that we can mobilize many poor and low-income infrequent voters during this year’s elections.

If you wish to go further on some of the topics we discussed, here is an interesting Fall seminar by Ken Cross,

“Top 10” U.S. Domestic Issues & Potential SolutionsThis Fall 2018 I will be repeating this seminar. If you haven’t yet attended, you’re invited. If you have attended, please pass the attached flyer/write-up to a friend.

Seminar description: This seminar focuses on current U.S. domestic, social justice issues and potential solutions to poverty (hunger & food insecurity, homelessness, affordable housing, jobs & income inequality), diversity, equity, and mass incarceration – crime, punishment & prison reform, immigration, healthcare, education, climate change & a sustainable world, and money, dysfunctional politics & campaign finance reform (capitalism and the erosion of democracy).
