Take Action

California's top-two primary sends the two highest finishers on June 2 to November, regardless of party. Republicans Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco currently lead the field while several Democrats split the rest of the vote. Hilton has Trump's endorsement. Bianco was a dues-paying member of the Oath Keepers, the far-right militia whose members staged the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. A Republican governor would govern California as an ally of the Trump administration, not as a check on it.

Becerra and Steyer are the two Democrats with a plausible path to the top two. We built a tool to help you compare them on the issues that matter most to you, then share your comparison with someone else who is still deciding. The primary is June 2. Ballots mail May 4. Voter registration deadline is May 18.

Governor Newsom has not endorsed any candidate, despite the real risk that no Democrat makes the November ballot. His endorsement would be the single most consolidating signal available. State Senator Ben Allen, who represents West Hollywood, has also not endorsed. Assembly Member Rick Chavez Zbur has endorsed Tom Steyer.

Contact Newsom's office and Senator Allen directly. Ask them to endorse a Democratic candidate before the primary. The window is closing. Ballots mail May 4.

May Day Strong is a national day of action on Friday, May 1, organized by a coalition that includes Indivisible, the NEA, National Nurses United, MoveOn, the Sunrise Movement, and dozens of other labor and grassroots groups. The theme is Workers Over Billionaires. Participants are asked to refuse business as usual: no work, no school, no shopping. There will be rallies and marches in cities across the country.

We meet every Monday evening on Zoom and every Thursday evening in person. Newcomers are welcome. Email us for the link or the address.

National Indivisible keeps updated action guidance, call scripts, and toolkits for current federal fights. Medicaid, voting rights, executive overreach, judicial independence: there is something to act on right now, and it takes about five minutes.

Pick one issue, find the current action on the Indivisible site, and make the call or send the email. Constituent contact is most effective when it is consistent and comes from people who actually live in the district.
