California Freedom Summer 2024

Tuesday, June 18, 2024 - Tuesday, August 13, 2024

The legacy of Freedom Summer continues to resonate today, reminding us of the importance of civic engagement and the ongoing struggle for equality. The principles of courage, determination, and justice that defined Freedom Summer are still relevant as we face modern challenges to voting rights and social justice. By reflecting on this history, we are inspired to continue the fight for a fair and inclusive democracy in California and across the nation. 

Join us this summer to help spread the word about California Freedom Summer 2024 and the importance of participating in our democracy by registering to vote, updating your voter registration and casting a ballot!
