The recall of CA Governor Gavin Newsom is very likely to be on the ballot in 2021, making it the biggest of three gubernatorial elections in this off year (VA & NJ). If the recall is successful Californians will suffer, and it will create national headwinds against Democrats trying to govern progressively this year and run into the very important 2022 midterms. 

California Donor Table and our partners are seeking to raise $1.5 million to fight the recall and build power in communities of color most at risk. See background and plans below with information on how to contribute:
