Racial Justice Listening Session

Racial justice is at the forefront of our minds lately and is baked into our vision – that all entrepreneurs have access to the resources they need to succeed.

With violence against people of color and the unequal effects of COVID, we’re thinking about how best to achieve that vision. We want to know what you think, what’s important to you, and where CAMEO can lead or collaborate more boldly in the economic justice realm.

Join our next Friday Listening Session on October 16, 2020 at 1:00pm PDT. We’ll also kick it off with a quick federal update from Ann Sullivan, our person in DC.

Voting, A Public Service Announcement

All Californians will receive a vote-by-mail ballot because of COVID. If you want to vote in person you have to take your vote-by-mail ballot to the polling place on Election Day, Nov 3 (mark your calendar). If you don’t, the polling staff has to call the County Clerk’s office to determine if you voted or not OR you will receive a provisional ballot until they ascertain that you haven’t double voted.  

Save your vote-by-mail ballot. If you want to vote in person on Nov. 3rd, take your vote-by-mail ballot with you. Don’t throw it away.
