How do you become an informed voter? One way is to read the materials from your county and state elections officials. We also hope the following voter guides from trusted nonpartisan sources will help you: League of Women Voters’ Easy Voter Guide, in five languages (English, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean): CAVotes.org/easy-voter-guide…. Pages 3 and 4 describe the offices candidates are running for at the federal and state levels. Pages 4 through 14 summarize the 14 statewide propositions on your ballot for this election. CalMatters’ 2026 Voter Guide: CalMatters.org/california-vo…. This guide includes information about some candidates and about all 14 statewide propositions. It may be easiest to find the information you are looking for from the navigation bar at the top, which has drop-down menus for “state offices” (excluding California Senate and Assembly), “legislatures” (federal and state), and the statewide propositions. In addition, for voters who need information in American Sign Language (ASL), the California Secretary of State’s office made ASL videos about the 14 statewide propositions, viewable at VoterGuide.sos.ca.gov/asl/. If you have questions or are having difficulty voting because of a disability, DRC’s voting hotline is open year-round on weekdays during business hours (9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.) (and longer hours on Election Day). Call us at (888) 569-7955. We will continue to share voting resources on DRC social media as Election Day gets closer! #DisabilityRightsCA #VoterGuide #CaliforniaVoting #VotingResource #MidtermElection

Many groups are preparing for ICE agents to be at the polls on Tuesday. This is a blatant effort to suppress the Latino vote. Intimidation at polling places is illegal. Citizens have federal protection to show up to the polls and vote. Election protection hotline: 866-OUR-VOTE

Social Security is on the ballot. 80 percent of Americans want to make the wealthy pay their fair share — and so do candidates like Abdul El-Sayed, James Talarico, and Troy Jackson.

The fact that the President of the United States even had to be asked if he would accept the results of an election shows just how far US has fallen under that man's leadership.

Measles epidemic. In the U.S. In 2026. This used to be - and should go back to being - unfathomable. We have a safe and effective vaccine. But we also have RFK Jr, the man who has undermined vaccines for years and years, in charge of our nations health. A disgrace.

Next month, the U.S. could lose the measles elimination status we’ve held since 2000. We’ve now seen over 4,000 cases this year, the most in over three decades. We have a tool that works: two doses of the MMR vaccine are 97% effective at preventing measles. If you’re already vaccinated, the most important thing you can do now is help the people in your life who aren’t. I get asked often how to persuade a loved one to get vaccinated. Don’t ask a blame-oriented question: “Why aren’t you following the guidelines?” Ask a barrier-oriented question: “What’s in the way of you getting vaccinated?” That’s how other countries have brought their outbreaks under control: by looking out for one another, one face-to-face conversation at a time.

On the day a sitting president landed in Lubbock, Texas, for the first time in 34 years, people waited for hours in lines stretching for blocks in this reliably red city. But the crowd wasn't waiting for President Trump. They were waiting for Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico. nbcnews.com/politics/2026-el…
James Talarico faces off against Trump in dueling Texas rallies in election’s final days

Voter enthusiasm in Lubbock, a city of fewer than 300,000, underscored the high stakes of a close Senate race in what Democrats call their best chance in a generation.

Hey @Meta 👋 We are currently hosting a get-out-the-vote rally in Osceola County, home to a large Puerto Rican community, and our #LatinosConAngie @Instagram page was suddenly taken down while we were actively posting content from the event. This page is a critical communication tool for reaching Latino voters and mobilizing our community. With just seven days until Election Day, every minute matters. We are calling on Meta to immediately restore the page and provide an explanation for its removal. Voters deserve access to critical election information, especially in these final days. @andymstone

I agree. But this is especially hard for those who listen deeply and care. Empathy can mean seeing the hurt beneath someone’s hatred, even while being hurt by it. The challenge is to understand another person’s pain without taking it on as our own.

When I encounter hatred, in words, in actions, or in the spaces between, I remind myself that I do not have to carry the weight of another’s ignorance. My energy is too precious to waste on someone else's bigotry.
