“CAUSE Action center’s voices systematically neglected to ensure that our endorsed candidates authentically reflect and represent our communities’ values for a more vibrant, just, and sustainable region and state. We are truly a grassroots organization and it’s critical that all our work be grounded and guided by our leaders who are farmworkers, parents, students, domestic and service workers,” said Lucas Zucker, Co-Executive Director of CAUSE Action. “CAUSE Action leaders know the community as year-round activists; and therefore know what’s needed from our electeds to solve local issues. This is why our leaders interview and decide who we endorse as an organization.”
“Every election cycle we witness huge sums of money drop into our communities to sway races in support of candidates that represent powerful interests’ runaway profits instead of peoples’ lives – and this year is no different. CAUSE Action’s people power will continue to defend our communities from the special interest money flooding into our communities,” said Hazel Davalos, Co-Executive Director of CAUSE Action. “We have laid the foundation for us to have one-on-one conversations with thousands of voters. And CAUSE Action will work from now until election day to educate and mobilize voters to support candidates committed to environmental and housing justice, and building immigrant worker power.”
CAUSE Action works with the community and partner organizations to empower working families, immigrant communities, and young people in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties to vote with confidence and elect leaders that are accountable to the communities.
