“Just CAUSE”

“Just CAUSE”
2015-01-30-justcause-img“In the final analysis it doesn’t really matter what the political system is… We don’t need perfect political systems; we need perfect participation.”
– Cesar Chavez
“Abysmally low voter turnout swept the electoral stage in 2014 with only
a quarter of California’s registered voters casting a ballot. Recently, the Fund for Santa Barbara awarded a grant to CAUSE action Fund (CAF) for their work to increase political participation among the people who most need representation. By focusing efforts on working-class people of color in low-income neighborhoods, CAF ‘where no one else will go,’ shares Marcos Vargas, Executive Director for CAF.”
