Proposition 15, the California Fair Elections Act (CFEA) represents fundamental election reform that will allow candidates and elected officials to get out of the money game and get back to solving California’s problems by creating a pilot project for a voluntary Fair Elections public financing system of campaigns similar to that successfully used in seven other states.

Senator Loni Hancock, author of the bill that put Prop 15 on the ballot, Senator Mark Leno, Assemblymembers Tom Ammiano and Sally Lieber (ret.), San Francisco Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi, and California Nurses Association Co-President Deborah Burger, RN will talk about why they support Prop 15 and why all Californians should!  The MC is Malia Cohen, Vice Chair of Emerge California.

Trent Lange, Chair of Californians for Fair Elections, will talk in detail about how Prop 15 works and how it will change the way we finance election campaigns, as well as discussing the campaign's strategy and how local grassroots groups can help it pass.

We will end with a brainstorming and organizing session for the new local grassroots coalition to support the statewide campaign for Prop 15 by building support locally.

☞ Get informed and get passionate about Fair Elections: Taking politicians out of the fundraising game to focus on the priorities of voters, not big-money donors

☞ Join the coalition to campaign for the California Fair Elections Act on the June 2010 ballot

Refreshments will be served.  Please register below.
