November Ballot Measures:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Passed |
Proposition 31 |
The measure will ban the sale or possession with the intent to sell flavored tobacco products or tobacco product flavor enhancers, including flavored “vaping” products and menthol cigarettes. It is aimed at reducing youth vaping and protecting young people from tobacco addiction and its negative health effects. It would also reduce the environmental impacts of tobacco production and waste. For the full text of the measure, click here. |
|
|
Failed |
Proposition 30 |
Proposition 30 proposes a new tax on personal income over $2 million. Much of the funding generated by the tax would help the state transition to zero-emission vehicles, but the measure would also generate wildfire funding that could go to projects that have negative ecological consequences, and programs that Sierra Club California has opposed in the past.

|
|
Passed |
Proposition 1 |
This measure will amend the California Constitution to establish a right to reproductive freedom, which is defined to include a right to an abortion and to choose or refuse contraceptives. Sierra Club works to advance environmental and social justice, and support for Proposition 1 is consistent with those values. For the full text of the measure, click here. |
