California Democrats are leading the resistance against Donald Trump and the out-of-touch right-wing agenda of the Republican Party that aims to remake this country in a MAGA image.
As part of our effort to protect our fundamental freedoms and to help and protect ALL voters, the California Democratic Party is once again kicking off the Nation’s most extensive voter protection program.
The California Democratic Party has been protecting the rights of all voters and ensuring that every vote counts through our Voter Protection Program since 1992.
The CADEM Voter Protection Team will continue to ramp up efforts to ensure that, despite the hurdles and challenges the Trump MAGA Republicans are using to deter voters, the Team is ready to counteract voter disenfranchisement in all corners of the State. We will also continue to ensure that every vote counts in California!
To that end, we are launching promotions and recruiting volunteers for CADEM Voter Protection Hotline Operators and Volunteer Attorneys.
We want ALL California communities to know that the CADEM Voter Protection Team takes its mission of safeguarding our democratic rights very seriously. Your support is crucial in this endeavor.
We need your help to reach more California voters. Please email your Democratic County Central Committee Membership to ask if they would like to participate in this effort and to learn how the CADEM Voter Protection Team will help every voter!

Voter Protection Team Volunteer Attorneys
Our mission is to recruit hundreds of trained volunteer attorneys who will be dispatched around the state to handle questions and field potential voter disenfranchisement issues. Since 1992, CADEM has worked tirelessly to protect the rights of all voters across the state. We believe that every vote counts and should be counted! In addition, our volunteer-powered Voter Protection Hotline simultaneously serves as a clearinghouse for all election issues.
Now more than ever, we NEED your help as CADEM Leadership!
California is also leading the electoral path to wrestle back control of the U.S. House of Representatives. Getting to 218 Democratic seats in the House means winning seven competitive seats in California in some of the most hotly contested races in the country, from Orange County to the Inland Empire to the Central Valley.
While Trump and MAGA Republicans have an ambitious laundry list of unconstitutional and authoritarian “tasks” with the goal of undoing all of our progress, CADEM is taking a stand and ramping up efforts to counteract voter disenfranchisement in making sure voting is accessible to ALL Californians.
