Different lives. Different battles. Together, they helped build the visibility, language, pride and community we carry forward today. 🏳️‍⚧️ 💖 🏳️‍🌈

It's voting season! One of the many ways we can make a difference for our community is to participate in elections. The right representative makes all the difference when it comes to protecting, uplifting, and serving LGBTQ+ and other marginalized members of our community, especially on a local level.

Election day is November 3rd and ballots will be mailed out starting October 5th. Please vote and return your ballot as soon as possible, and at the very latest, 5 days prior to election day.

Let our q***r voices be heard as we pushback against hateful rhetoric and institutional violence.

Don’t let somebody else write your story.

Our community has a voice, and every election is a chance to use it. Get informed, make your own choice, and make sure your vote is part of the story. 🌈

🗳️ California’s regular voter registration deadline is October 19, 2026. Miss it? Conditional Same Day Voter Registration is available October 20 through Election Day, November 3.🌴
