The Central Valley Matters - Fall 2026 campaign

How can I make a difference?

CVM's 2026 Fall campaign funds vetted, grassroots groups educating, activating and turning out voters in the Central Valley. We have both non tax deductible funds (ACT BLUE) and tax deductible funds (via check - see below).

Our Fall 2026 campaign focuses on CVM's three partisan (not tax deductible) groups working together to implement the Independent Expenditure campaigns to support Randy Villegas in CA's CD 22.

They are the trusted messengers knocking on doors in CA's CD 22 and this toss up US House district needs your support now.

Support a canvasser:

$120- one day

$600- one week

$2400- one month

Let's grow their teams!

These grassroots groups bring 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 who can connect with the "hard to reach" voters. 2026 is a key year for this high profile Congressional district. THANK YOU FOR DIGGING DEEP!

Our three groups we are funding this cycle are:

United for Water Justice, sponsored by Community Water Center Action Fund (Federal) works on voter education and turn-out in Tulare and Kern County elections by engaging in door-to-door and phone conversations as well as billboard campaigns. It connects with CD 22, low-income rural communities of color, championing the human right to water through local organizing, education, and legal advocacy.

Huerta Democracy PAC is a community benefit organization working to elect progressive candidates at the grassroots level to engage and develop natural leaders and a strong base of volunteers to work for voter turnout in and around Bakersfield, the largest part of CA's CD 22. They support and build people power, creating squads to give agency and a voice to this underserved area.

Votar es Poder PAC works in three of CD 22's counties (Kings, Tulare and Fresno) to: close the substantial gap of voter engagement and voter turnout; build a continuum cycle of civic engagement; increase and sustain civic consciousness; combat misinformation and intimidation with improved methods of communication and build new leaders and win policy changes.
