Election Day is November 5th!
As a non-partisan, non-profit organization, the YMCA of the East Bay is committed to helping individuals and communities prepare for elections and get informed about propositions and measures that affect our community.
Voting allows us to actively participate in shaping our collective future via elected officials, ballot measures, and propositions. By being informed voters, we ensure that we are supporting the people and policies that help us thrive. Most importantly, voting helps strengthen communities, just like ours. Voting isn’t just your right, it’s your civic duty!
