Weekly Update

Dear Insider Team,

The November 5th election is only days away, and many voters nationwide have begun casting their ballots. We encourage you to join us in prayer for our nation and the congregations across California that are amid ballot collection and other election season efforts. If you need support for any election-time activities, the Real Impact Team is standing by to answer questions that may arise.

Are you having trouble helping those who missed the October 21st registration deadline? We have included a new resource below to better assist those individuals in your congregations in finding same-day registration/early voting centers.

Below are more updates you should be aware of.

• California Legislation Flyer: Some have asked to review some of the legislation we have covered in this legislative cycle. We have attached a flyer to make it easier for your congregation to see what bills we monitored this year.

• Preparing Churches For The Vote Training Recordings: We are happy to inform our Real Impact Insiders that the videos of the Preparing Churches For The Vote training series are now available! Links and passwords for these videos can be found below.

• Same-Day Voter Registration and Early Voting Centers: For those registering after the October 21st deadline, we have included a resource that will assist in finding a same-day registration and early voting center. Find it below.

May God bless your efforts.
