ANSWER Coalition Supports Equal Rights for All

Defeat Right-Wing Ballot Measures

No on California Propositions 4, 6, 8, and 9! 

In tomorrow's Nov. 4 election, a number State and Local ballot propositions will be voted on by the public. Many of the propositions have been sponsored by right-wing interests in order to push a racist, bigoted agenda that aims to do away with hard-won rights.

We believe that all laws should be drafted in the interests of working people. Reactionary ideology and big-money interests should not have any say over people's rights. Instead of trying to take away the right of same-sex couples to marry, why can't we have a ballot measure that demands an increase in the state minimum wage to $15 per hour? Why can't we have a ballot measure that places an immediate moratorium on all foreclosures and evictions throughout the state? It is possible, but not as long as the corporations and their allies can pour endless funds into the process. 

If you vote on no other propositions, it is important to vote "NO" on State ballot propositions 4, 6, 8 and 9.

No on Prop. 4

This deceptive proposition again appears on the California ballot after being defeated twice in the last three years. It is an attack on women's reproductive rights. It would require parental notification before abortions for minors, including in cases of rape and incest. A supposed alternative would be notifying another relative, but if a young woman chooses that path it would trigger a state investigation of her family. The right-wing promoters of Prop. 4 pretend that they’re concerned with protecting young women, but in reality passage of this proposition would likely lead to a major increase in unsafe abortions. A woman's right to choose must be protected--abortion must be kept legal. No on Prop. 4!

No on Prop. 6

This proposition, called the "Runner Initiative," is a racist attack on Black and Latino youth. It would criminalize oppressed youth as "gang members" and allow minors as young as 14-years-old to be tried as adults in California . No on Prop. 6!

No on Prop. 8

This proposition aims to take away the right of same-sex couples to marry. It is a bigoted attack on LGBT people and equal rights. Everyone should have equal rights, including the right to marry. The decades-long struggle for LGBT equality won the right to same-sex marriage--it should not be taken away. No on Prop. 8! 

No on Prop. 9

This proposition wants to keep people in prison longer. Falsely couched as a "victims' rights" measure, it would make it harder for prisoners to make it out on parole and lengthen sentences for minor offenses. It encourages the expansion of the racist prison-industrial complex. No on Prop. 9!

There are other ballot propositions that deserve your attention, but these are among the most urgent for social justice advocates to take a strong position on.
