Preliminary Election Slate for November 5, 2024

Dear Friends,

Each election I prepare a slate card for my friends so we can debate how to vote here in San Francisco (and beyond). Here’s what I have so far, based on the preliminary voter information guide for the California state propositions on the ballot for November 5, 2024, that I received in the mail, as well as various organizational endorsements, and various discussion with local activists… I’d love your input!

Election Day is just around the corner… mail-in voting starts on October 7, so please do register to vote if eligible! The deadline for online registration and registration by mail is October 21, 2024.

In solidarity,

Stardust

PS: Life under late-stage corporate-welfare capitalism and billionaire-choose-all “democracy” can be discouraging. Please remember that there are other ways to change society than just the elections.

PPS: For the SF Mayoral election, I’m thinking Aaron Peskin as the most responsive to San Francisco low- and middle-income residents, as well as the least corrupt of the bunch. I’m also thinking Jackie Fielder for Supervisor in District 9.
