YES ON QQ WON!
Thanks to the amazing leadership of students across Oakland, youth have won the right to vote in School Board elections!! Thank you to all of you who supported the young people’s movement to center youth power and strengthen democracy!
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!
