This is a big week in California.

Agnes,

This week marks a major opportunity in the fight to end secret money in
elections: The California Senate will vote on the DISCLOSE Act this
Thursday.

This crucial bill to root out the forces of unlimited, anonymous money in
California politics came within just one vote of passage last year. But
this year, a huge grassroots push from citizens across the Golden State
has given the DISCLOSE Act new life.

The full Senate will decide whether the CA DISCLOSE Act survives on
Thursday -- and a phone call from you to your state senator is the most
powerful way to boost the bill's chances before the vote.

Make a quick call to your state senator now with our easy, one-step tool.
Tell your senator to vote YES on the California DISCLOSE Act, S.B. 52.

You don't have to go far back in time to recall the devastating impact of
big, secret money in our elections.

During the 2012 race, wealthy individual and corporate interests were free
to flood campaigns from the White House to state legislatures with
misleading ads while hiding their own identities.

The California DISCLOSE Act would bring that dark money out of the
shadows, making sure the interests bankrolling political ads in state
elections are revealed in the ads themselves.

Passing the DISCLOSE Act would be a giant step toward transparent
democracy in California -- and the message it sends would reverberate
throughout the country as one of the toughest rebukes of the Supreme
Court's disastrous Citizens United decision to date.

But our positive momentum could be stopped in its tracks if the Senate
doesn't pass S.B. 52 on Thursday. Your voice is needed right now.

Use our one-step tool to make a quick call to your state senator. Urge
your senator to vote YES on S.B. 52, the California DISCLOSE Act.

If we're successful this week, this bill will go to the Assembly with a
huge head of steam behind it. It will take all of us doing our part to
keep up this great momentum. Please call today.

Thank you for uniting as a progressive,
