DNC makes first-time organizing investment in California redistricting ballot measure

[RandySF]

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) announced on Thursday that it will help support California’s redistricting ballot measure by directing their organizing team toward mobilization efforts ahead of the November election.

The DNC said it will employ a 41,000-person volunteer team to encourage Californians to get involved in the election effort. These volunteers will be involved in phone banking and canvassing efforts and will reach out to harder-to-reach communities via text messages and phones to promote the ballot measure and get voters to the polls. The effort is aimed in particular at mobilizing Spanish-speaking Californians.

“California is home to the most Latino voters in the country, and too often, this core group gets ignored,” DNC Chair Ken Martin said in a statement. “With a 41,000-person-strong volunteer base, the DNC is making sure we leave no stone unturned. When you organize everywhere, you can win anywhere.”

The effort represents the DNC’s first investment in California Democrats’ redistricting ballot initiative. California Democrats have teed up a map ahead of November that looks to effectively neutralize the gains expected to come out of Texas’s new Republican-favored House map.
