Now thru Nov 3:  Sign Up to Get Out the Vote for Proposition 3

YES ON PROP 3
Help Pass California State Proposition 3 — Protecting Nearly $15 Billion for California Schools.
Sign-Up for GOTV Precinct Walking
Saturdays and Sundays
September 12 through Election Day (November 3)

The November 2026 ballot will include Prop. 3, The California Children’s Education and Health Care Protection Act of 2026. Passing Prop. 3 is crucial to protect existing funding — almost $15 billion annually — for our schools and students.

Prop. 3 keeps the wealthiest Californians paying their share so our public schools get the funding our students deserve. Without it, our public schools face a devastating 15% budget cut; 1 in 6 educators would face layoffs.

Team TALB needs your help to support the passage of Prop. 3.
