Our Mission
| “Build an Engaged Army of Self-Governing Grassroots Activists” |
Messaging: Who Decides
| We want the important decisions to be made as close to home as possible. Not by some politician thousands of miles away. We believe that local voices make better choices for our communities, neighborhoods, and schools. Washington, D.C.'s one size fits all style of governance, doesn't work for a state as diverse as California. Where each county, town, & community has different cultures, different ideas & different priorities on issues of policy |
