🚨 38 Days Until the 2025 November Election! 🚨 Election Calendar, Activists' Lists, and Donation Links

(Please let me know if there are any broken links or incorrect or incomplete information. I’ll be adding and correcting information until Election Day.)

Early Voting is going on TODAY in Virginia! Other states soon to follow! Check the calendar below to see when early voting begins in your state!

Note – if you do anything by mail, be sure to mail things in WELL IN ADVANCE. I personally would recommend at least 10 days, especially for submitting absentee ballots. Remember, we’re still dealing with DeJoy’s postal system!

California Proposition 50
Extreme gerrymandering in states like Texas is silencing communities and undermining the people's right to vote!
California has the chance to lead with Prop 50 – the Election Rigging Response Act.
With Prop 50, we can break the cycle of entrenched power and elect new leaders—especially women—who will fight for families and fairness nationwide.
