*Central Valley Matters 2026*
How can I make a difference?
Central Valley Matters supports grassroots organizations bringing year-round commitment, high energy and hands-on experience, using local civic engagement strategies in the carefully chosen, disenfranchised parts of rural towns in CA's CD 22. As a statewide alliance of California organizations, Central Valley Matters works to engage the community by raising funds for these trusted messengers. 2026 is a key year for this high profile Congressional district.
THANK YOU!!
CVM's 2026 campaign will support three partisan 501 c4 community groups getting the word out about the upcoming elections.
