Hear from Adam Schiff on Prop 50, the government shutdown, and more!

As part of our campaign in support of Proposition 50, Sierra Forward is delighted to have had Senator Adam Schiff - one of the founding members of the coalition behind The Election Rigging Response Act - speak about the importance of the measure and the state of the campaign to get it passed. 

In addition, Senator Schiff answered questions submitted by the audience during the webinar, including topics like the status of the government shutdown and the Trump Administration's weaponization of the Department of Justice. To view a video of the event, click below: 

Supporting the Election Rigging Response Act

First, Sierra Forward supports the California Citizens Redistricting Commission (CCRC). We think such non-partisan commissions should be the law of the land.

Unfortunately, they are not.

In a highly unusual move, Texas has responded to orders from Donald Trump and done a mid-decade redistricting designed to move five congressional districts from blue to red. In the process, Black and Latino are being completely disenfranchised. And unfortunately, similar moves are underway in Ohio, Indiana, Florida, and Missouri.

Sierra Forward does not believe California should remain idle while Republican-controlled states are gerrymandering the 2026 election. Instead, we need to rise to a challenge that threatens the very existence of our Republic.

On Monday April 21 at 5pm, we heard three County Supervisors from rural counties talk about how changes at the federal level are impacting their counties, and how that will in turn drive a focus on policies at the county level and the focus of candidates in state and local elections.  

Our panelists are Jaron Brandon (Chair, Tuolumne County), Heidi Hall (Chair, Nevada County), and Rosemarie Smallcombe (Chair, Mariposa County).
