Voter Education, Protection and Empowerment (VEPE)

VEPE Vision

A democracy where all citizens can exercise their right to vote with no obstacles – physical, systemic, bureaucratic, or reluctance stemming from uncertainty or intimidation – and with ample information for understanding the choices on their ballots.

VEPE Mission

Foster a group of activists in Yolo County working together or independently in a mutually supportive way to identify and perform various actions to protect and secure citizens’ right to vote, especially in purple districts where each vote carries an outsized impact.

Current Projects

Blue Voter Guide Research

Blue Voter Guide fights voter fatigue! It helps voters make quick, informed, pro-democracy choices of candidates and propositions by showing what's on their ballot, with endorsements from trusted, forward-looking organizations.  BVG makes it easy to build a guide, review it, and share it with friends and family. 

The Blue Voter Guide needs research help.
