Solidarity from South Africa to the Philippines

Solidarity with the Comrades Under Attack in the Philippines by Abahlali base Mjondolo (South Africa squatters' movement) Our movement has experienced serious repression, including the targeted destruction of our members’ homes, assault, torture and murder. We have received solidarity from popular movements around the world, and have always offered our own solidarity to comrades under attack elsewhere in the world.

The other races in CA are all essentially non-partisan -- anyone can vote for any candidate on the ballot for each position, and [...]

Other Propositions on the Nov. Ballot

httpss://elections.calmatters.org/2018/california-ballot-measures/ Elections aren’t just about hiring lawmakers to write the laws that govern our state.

This November, affordable housing funding, the price of gas, and rent control will all [...]

Running Green in Congressional District 13

Running Green in D13: Tax the rich and stop the wars by Ann Garrison, June 26, 2018 In California’s top-two primary system, only the top two vote getters advance to the general election, meaning that only two names will be on the ballot for each race in November. Since California is a very blue state, that often means that two Democrats advance, as in the Senate race between incumbent Dianne Feinstein, the anti-Trump candidate, and former State Senate President Kevin de León, the more-anti-Trump-than-Feinstein candidate. However, three [...]

Propositions on the California and LA Ballots

“All politics is local” was never truer than this year when the head of the ticket offers two candidates with higher disapproval ratings than perhaps ever before in the history of the republic, if we can still call it that, and so many local races and propositions of significance. Here then are recommendations from some of the usual suspects for your progressive voting pleasure. Don’t be fooled; even a rigged system can be used to flog its handlers, so make it to the polls with a vengeance, [...]
