Upcoming Events

Sunday, October 18: Election Matters – Because Elections Matter!

What is at stake in the upcoming midterm elections? What are the important races, and what are the important issues? How are you participating?

Join us on Sunday evening October 18 as PASMC Board member Ron Zucker talks about key state ballot measures as well as ways to get involved in the last couple of weeks before the midterm elections. Let’s discuss what is important to us and raise questions to which we can try to answer one another.

We will convene at 7 PM on the 18th…back to our typical day and time. Watch your inbox for the Zoom link.

This idea came out of Ron’s interest in Prop. 4, the California Fair Elections Act, the passage of which would repeal the ban on public financing of election campaigns in local and state government in California. We realize there are more ballot measures deserving of our attention, with some discussion warranted. We also realize that there are close House and Senate races around the country – including right here in California – that could determine who controls Congress and whether we agree with them on crucial policies.

On the surface we are veering from our typical peace-and-justice angle, but the hope is to make it possible for a Congress that will align better with our goals. In that vein, here are national Peace Action’s endorsed candidates from around the country.

Plus here is Indivisible San Mateo’s webpage with numerous facts and dates about voting in the midterms.

And we’ll see you October 18 to talk about ballot measures and elections!
