Convention delegates adopted the following Issues for Education and Advocacy as the issues on which the California state and local Leagues will mutually focus their efforts in the 2007-2009 biennium:

1. Health Care. The LWVUS Health Care position will provide the basis for education and action. The LWVC will continue to work with the OneCareNow campaign and other coalition partners to build a movement for universal single payer health care in California. Local Leagues will continue with community and member education, advocacy, and public involvement activities. The League will monitor legislative proposals and advocate in the state legislature for single payer health care as well as support expanded health care coverage that promotes progress toward a single payer system.
2. Education. Civic education and advocacy will be based on the LWVC Education: Pre-Kindergarten through 12 and Community College System positions. Civic education will build on our current work, specifically the Hewlett Foundation-funded School Finance Exploratory Project (SFEP) partnership with the California School Boards Association, the California State PTA, and Children Now. It will include educating members, local League community education activities, monitoring current reform proposals and activities, exploring new models of public school funding, and encouraging public involvement. Advocacy will include coalition building and/or participation, tracking legislation, and advocacy in the legislature and on state ballot measures.
3. Redistricting. The LWVC Redistricting position will provide the basis for advocacy and education on the need for redistricting reform in California. The education focus will include educating our members and the public, local League community education activities, monitoring current proposals, and encouraging public involvement. The action agenda will continue our efforts to see that an effective reform measure is placed on the ballot by the legislature or by initiative and adopted by the voters. Our advocacy efforts both inside the legislature and outside will be bolstered by our leadership in a broad coalition of organizations and individuals.
