Presidential Election – Nov 5th, 2024
In California, it is safe to vote for a third-party candidate in the general election, without fear that this will help get Trump back into the White House. He will not win this state no matter how you vote.
If you want your vote to count as a vote to survive, vote for Jill Stein on November 5th! Jill stands for a ceasefire in Gaza, negotiations in Ukraine, an end to warmongering with China, the abolition of nuclear weapons and a full-scale mobilization to address the climate emergency.

Adam Schiff is all but certain to win the Senate seat up for election in California.
House Races
The best we can hope for in 2024 at the Presidential and Senate levels is to prevent Donald Trump from getting back in and Republicans from taking over the Senate so that we will at least survive the next four years. But in the medium term, we need to elect politicians who support the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, the Nuclear Ban Treaty and other real, sustainable solutions to the global threats facing us all.
Luckily, we already have over 100 such politicians in the House of Representatives. We need to make sure they get re-elected, and we need to elect more of them!
