Vote Smart - California Propositions - League of Women Voters
·OnlineOnlineDear members and friends of the Humanist Association of Orange County,
Steph Campbell, representing the League of Women Voters, will provide a presentation of the 14 propositions on the California ballot this November. You can find lots of useful information with the League’s Vote 411 Tool: https://www.vote411.org/california
Zoom Reg HERE
Please note, local propositions will not be covered, just those that are state-wide.
The initiative process was created one hundred years ago so California citizens would not have to only rely on lawmakers to make new laws.
Propositions can:- Create new laws
- Change or repeal existing laws
- Change the State Constitution
- Approve a bond measure
The League of Women Voters does not support or oppose candidates or political parties. It encourages informed and active participation in government and works to increase understanding of major public policy issues and influence public policy through education.
The LWV will not provide voting recommendations but will present each proposition in an objective and non-partisan manner with a special focus on “Follow The Money.” For all your voting needs including absentee ballots, election dates & registration deadlines go to either ocvote.com or www.sos.ca.gov/elections.
Stephanie Campbell is a volunteer with the League of Women Voters and has been speaking about the propositions around the County for the last 5 elections and runs the Orange Coast League’s Pros and Cons Group. She is also the founding member of the Orange County chapter of Americans United for Separation of Church and State and is a former member of the National Board of Trustees. She is also a County Action Coordinator for Compassion and Choices. Stephanie is a naturalized US citizen, born in England and lived in Israel for 2 years prior to coming to the United States. She is a graduate of the University of Washington and received her MBA from California State University, Fullerton.
Let me know if you have any questions. Best to PM me on Meetup and/or find me on LinkedIn. Spread the word. Hope to see you there.

Film: Moms Club
·OnlineOnlineOn Saturday, September 19th at 3:30pm
Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, Orange County Chapter, will be Screening Mom's Club on the Kinema Platform.
This film is a feature documentary that traces the unlikely emergence of a group of suburban mothers who find themselves on the front lines of a growing ideological battle over public education.
What begins as a local concern quickly reveals a sophisticated national network working to dismantle public schools and roll back LGBTQ+ protections.
Moms Club captures the evolution of ordinary parents into organized activists as they confront disinformation campaigns, political dark money, and coordinated efforts to reshape school boards across the United States.
This film is both an intimate character-driven story and a broader examination of civic resistance, community organizing, and the personal cost of standing up to powerful political forces.
