About this event
Join the American Association of University Women's Danville-Alamo-Walnut Creek branch and the League of Women Voters of Diablo Valley in an informative presentation of the pros and cons related to our 2022 ballot measures. A presentation by the speakers will help us sort through the latest array of initiatives.
Speakers: Sue Brandy and Janet Hoy , Diablo Valley League of Women Voters Pros & Cons Team
This year, more than ever, we need to prepare for this critical election before we cast our ballots. California is facing unprecedented challenges to our democracy, not to mention the public health and economic crises. As voters, we must consider critical issues such as systemic racism, homelessness, rebuilding a crumbling infrastructure, and a wide range of measures on this year’s ballot.
This discussion offers a look behind the slogans to better understand the ballot measure opportunities and their consequences.
