Dear [recipient position will go here] [recipient name will go here],

Your Letter *

I’m a voter in your district, and I am urging you to vote YES on ACA 5, which would give California voters the opportunity to have their say on affirmative action for the first time in a generation.

The events of the past weeks have shaken Californians to their core. To pretend that equal opportunity exists for all Californians – but especially for Black Americans – is a fantasy.

As you consider ways to respond to California’s outcry about structural racism and the loss of Black lives, along with the severe economic impacts that COVID-19 presents to all California communities of color, I ask that you vote YES on ACA 5.

There is no silver bullet to solve racism in California, but there are lots of great solutions to help us get at the root cause of the problem -- and ACA 5 is one of them. Clearly, it’s past time to upend a system that denies women and people of color an equal shot at success and gives the rich and powerful an unfair advantage over everyone else. It’s time to build a stronger California by building a state that works for and protects everyone, not just the wealthy few.
 
This current moment has taught us that it’s on all of us to stand up for Black lives, combat racism and build a more just society. I ask that you do your part in this moment to vote yes on a historic bill that will give Californians the opportunity to vote yes too, allowing all of us to be active partners in our statewide effort to build a stronger future.

I urge you to support ACA 5.

Sincerely,
