YES ON QQ!
Measure QQ will expand the right to vote in Oakland school board elections to 16 and 17 year-olds! Teens are leading fights across the country for gun control and climate change – they deserve the right to vote where it impacts them most…in their education!
Measure QQ will:
- Strengthen democracy by enfranchising up to 8,000 (mostly low-income) youth voters every School Board election cycle!
- Create life-long, habitual voters.
- Boost voter turnout where we need it most (the majority of students in OUSD live in D5, 6 and 7).
- Improve Oakland schools so all students graduate!
Join the ACLU, League of Women Voters, OEA, Mayor Schaaf, CA Schools Superintendent Tony Thurmond, Alameda Labor Council, Alameda County Democratic Party, and more in supporting YES on QQ!

So impressed with the our youth leaders who understand that billionaires like Michael Bloomberg have no place in OUSD school board elections. They are smart, informed and ready to vote! #yesonQQ @OakYouthVote #oakedu https://twitter.com/ParentsUniteOak/status/1320532865268903937
Oakland Youth Leaders asked candidates if Billionaires like Michael Bloomberg should be invested in our school board races, one GO-backed candidate struggled to justify the millions in $$ that undermines our democracy. #SayNotoGO #nobloombergboard #oakedu https://ousdparentsunited.com/2020/10/26/even-bloomberg-backed-candidates-know-that-bloomberg-has-no-place-in-oakland-school-board-elections/
