The Public Policy Committee’s Proposition 50 and Get Out the Vote (GOTV) 2025 Guide is a comprehensive toolkit comprising over 25 resources to support GOTV efforts, including a Pro 50 Messaging Guide, Overview, FAQ, Flyer, Election Timeline, and more. AAUW California members are encouraged to conduct GOTV outreach for the special election on November 4, 2025, to educate voters on the positive impacts of Proposition 50 with reliable, nonpartisan information.
Normally, AAUW California publishes official recommendations to support or oppose propositions. However, AAUW National advised that the organization not make a formal recommendation about Prop 50. Instead, the organization asks members to disseminate information-centered messages to increase awareness of the potential impacts of Prop 50 for all Californians. AAUW California members can make a difference by providing California voters with trustworthy, fact-based information currently missing from public discourse, namely that supporting Prop 50 is a non-partisan move to:
- Preserve wider democratic norms in California
- Oppose Project 2025 implementation in California
- Continue to advance AAUW California’s mission & public policy priorities
Members are invited to support GOTV 2025 to preserve and advance democracy, as well as AAUW California’s public policy priorities, which focus on gender-based equity and social justice. Every single action counts.
