    This time we have a number of "Tax the Rich" propositions! DSA and WFP agree on all these

    ✅ Yes on 2. Makes it so we can capture more capital gains, increases the "Rainy Day Fund", and makes it harder for "excess taxes" on the rich to be refunded.

    ✅ Yes on 3. This amends the state constitution to solidify an existing tax that funds schools

    ✅ Yes on 40. This is the billionaire tax! Fuck those guys!

    ❌ No on 41–43. These are designed to counteract the billionaire tax.

    We also have some propositions to improve elections. DSA and WFP also agree on these

    ✅️ Yes on 4. Changes the rules for campaign financing to allow public financing. This will reduce the influence of coroporate money in our elections and allow progressive candidates a chance.

    ✅️ Yes on 5. Makes recalls less appealing. In California it's too easy to trigger a recall and it's consistently used by right wingers to try to remove Democrats.

    ❌️ No on 39. This is Voter ID

    ✅️️ Yes on 1. Issues bonds for Low Income Housing

    ❌️️ No on 37. We have a housing shortage. I don't like making it easier to buy multiple homes.

    ❌️️ No on 38. I usually vote yes for bond measures, but this is being called a billionaire handout in disguise.

    ✅️️ Yes on M. Adds a small parcel tax for special education and exempts senior citizens and disabled folks.

    ✅️️ Yes on H. Issues bonds for repairs for community colleges

    ❌️️️ No on 44. DSA and WFP have conflicting opinions here. The sentiment I've seen from healthcare workers is that this will actually hurt clinics and make it harder to provider essential non-medical services like translation, transportation, etc.

    ❌️️️ No on 45. DSA and WFP agree here. This weakens environmental protections, which we will need whether Becerra or Hilton become governor.
