Election Day is today! Polls are now open.

Polls close at 8 p.m. If you arrive at a voter center by 8 p.m and are still waiting in line, you can still vote. Never leave the polling place without voting. If someone tells you that you can’t vote for any reason, you can demand a “provisional ballot.”

This election is important for the future of democracy. We have the power to make a change.

¡El día de las elecciones es hoy! Las urnas ya están abiertas.

Las urnas cierran a las 8 p.m. Si llegas a un centro de votación antes de las 8 p.m. y todavía estás esperando en la fila, aún puedes votar. Nunca te vayas del lugar de votación sin votar. Si alguien te dice que no puedes votar por cualquier motivo, puedes solicitar una “boleta provisional”.

Esta elección es importante para el futuro de la democracia. Tenemos el poder de hacer un cambio.

El mes pasado, la comunidad de East Orosi, en el condado de Tulare, hizo un paso fundamental hacia su derecho humano al agua al dar inicio a las obras de su proyecto de agua potable segura. Este logro ha sido posible únicamente gracias al liderazgo comunitario, la voluntad política, el respaldo normativo y la colaboración local. ✊💧

“Tenemos problemas porque nuestra agua está contaminada con nitratos, y para nosotros vivir con eso y pensar que tenemos que conseguir agua limpia por otro lado porque no se puede tomar ni cocinar con ella… Hay ocasiones en que batallamos para conseguirla.”- Isabel Morales, residente de Royal Oaks.

Residentes y líderes comunitarios de Johnson, McGinnis y El Camino Live Oak en Royal Oaks del condado de Monterey expresan preocupación por recortes al programa SAFER que garantiza acceso a agua potable segura.
