Timely and tailored messaging is important for efficient voter engagement outreach. Join Thrive for a 30 minute training session. At the end of this session you will leave with a thorough understanding of:
The safety precautions being used for voting during COVID.
The many options for voting.
Answers to voter what-ifs. What if you haven’t registered, if you move, if you are without an address, if you need language assistance?
What resources are available to you- paper flyers, social media, etc.
What kind of messaging works best based on the latest research.
Thrive, in partnership with the Leagues of Women Voters of San Mateo County, is proud to co-host the Pros & Cons, a nonpartisan explanation of state propositions with supporting and opposing arguments. The North and Central San Mateo County League has teamed up with the South San Mateo County League to create a presentation for the whole County. After the presentation, there will be ample time for questions & answers. Feel free to download the Pros & Cons PDF , the Pros & Cons for Measure RR and visit Voter’s Edge CA for more information. Come and join us to get an understanding of the 13 ballot measures that we will be voting on soon!

We will be talking about your plans and ideas. Come ready to share what you or your organization is currently doing and ask questions.
How is California changing the November 2020 election so voting is safe and accessible amid a pandemic? How do we get voters to be engaged and educated during this very unusual COVID campaign season? How do we tailor messaging to inspire communities that typically have low voter turnout? Join Thrive Alliance and Jonathan Mehta Stein, Executive Director, California Common Cause, for a Community Forum to discuss Votes, Voters, and Voting in the Era of COVID-19.
San Mateo County’s elected officials, in all layers of government, are overwhelming white and male, not representative of the diversity of our County. For instance, our Board of Supervisors is 100% white compared to 40% of our population, and 80% male. We need leaders from communities of color and women to bring their knowledge and lived experience to policy making. How do we build a pipeline of BIPOC and women candidates and support their journey to elected office? Join us for a panel discussion with leaders and advocates who are breaking down the barriers to create a more diverse slate of candidates to represent our local population.

Speakers each shared their own stories and experiences and gave some great advice. Some highlights include: understanding how important your voice is as a minority and running for office as a minority; having a good network of women/women of color supporters; inviting powerful people and people of privilege to pull up underrepresented people and communities; and talking about the value of voting.
