Students on the Capitol Steps for Yes on 16 Rally

Submitted by the Event Organizer

On October 16th, we’re calling for a statewide day of action. Students will be able to attend
16 events, 12 in-person and 4 entirely digital.

Join us on Friday, October 16th at the State Capitol for a safe and socially distanced event in support of Yes on Prop 16. Come spread the word on why we should be voting #YesOnProp16 for a greater California!

Our Sacramento event will be a youth-oriented and student-led rally on the South Steps of the California Capitol! Come out to hear from student and community leaders about how Yes on Prop 16 will help us support an equitable future here in California!

Safety is our first goal, so please stay home if you or someone you live with is immunocompromised or you’re feeling under the weather and tune into our digital events.
