DESCRIPTION:On November 4, 2025, California voters will decide on Proposition 50, 
 Gavin\nNewsom’s response to Donald Trump’s attempt to “Make Congress 
 Republican Again."\n\nAs Texas and other states are gerrymandering to 
 increase the over-representation of\nRepublicans, California Governor Gavin 
 Newsom is calling for our state to override the\ncurrent “independent 
 redistricting commission” and temporarily create districts to\nincrease 
 Democratic Party representation.\n\nWhether you think Newsom’s move is a 
 necessary response or an unprincipled\nmaneuver, it’s clear that this is 
 not the way to do democracy. Our panelists will explain\ntheir positions 
 (or absence thereof) on Proposition 50, how the current system\nperpetuates 
 the duopoly, and ways to create electoral democracy through systems 
 of\nproportional representation.\n\nSpeakers include:\nCaledon Myers – 
 Executive Director of ProRep Coalition\nMarsha Feinland – Peace and 
 Freedom Party of California\nLaura Wells – Green Party of 
 California\n*Organizations listed for identification purposes only.\n\nAn 
 open discussion will follow the presentations. You can access this event 
 online but participation in the discussion is easier in parson. Here is the

 organizations.\nThis event is sponsored by the Alameda County Peace and 
 Freedom Party,\nthe Alameda County Green Party and Bay Area System Change 
 Not Climate Change\n
