Get Out the Vote: A Playbook for California Nonprofits and Funders

California’s policy landscape plays a powerful role in shaping the opportunities and challenges facing our communities, yet not everyone’s voice is heard at the ballot box. This webinar equips nonprofits and funders with the tools to change that. How can we help overcome barriers to civic engagement and mobilize every Californian’s vote for a more vibrant future?
