The Courage Campaign CA Progressive Voter Guide now available
For every statewide election, The Courage Campaign puts out a "progressive voter" guide to the ballot initiatives based on a poll of its membership. They will email it to you if you provide your name, ZIP code and, of course, an email address here: https://couragevoterguide.org
The Courage Campaign is something of a California-specific MoveOn. I've been on their email list for years and they do good work. The quantity of messages is moderate.
