Find a local YES ON PROP 50 canvassing event in your neighborhood and talk to your neighbors one-on-one! (It's by far the best way to drum up enthusiasm for the Nov. 4 special election's important Prop 50, PLUS it's fun to get to know your community cohorts!)

Thanks to all our ECA members who showed up to yesterday’s California Hold the Line demonstration in Santa Monica; it was one of many held across SoCal yesterday to protest Trump’s increasingly aggressive attacks on our democracy and to support Prop 50. #eldersclimateaction #Indivisible #Prop50
