Get Involved
Democracy is not a spectator event. Here are three ways to move from observer to participant, whether you're a California voter, a civic organization, or a community in another state ready to launch your own covenant.
Co-Sign the 250/1 Covenant
The 250/1 California Citizen Covenant is a public agreement between California voters and the candidates who seek to govern them. By co-signing, you become part of the witnessed record that holds any signatory candidate accountable, not by party, not by preference, but by the specific commitments they made in public.
- Read the full covenant. All four parts
- Add your name, city, and county to the public record
- Share it with five people before the June 2nd primary
Partner with US4A
Civic leagues, community foundations, faith communities, labor organizations, chambers of commerce, and neighborhood associations are invited to co-sign the covenant as institutions, and to distribute it through their own networks. Institutional co-signers are listed publicly on the covenant record.
- Co-sign on behalf of your organization
- Distribute the covenant to your membership
- Host a covenant conversation or town hall
- Link your organization's mission to the cooperative framework
Adopt the Covenant for Your State
The 250/1 Citizen Covenant was built to travel. California is the first state to formalize it, but the core obligations belong to every American, in every state, in America's 250th year. A national template is available for any state community that wants to launch their own version ahead of their own gubernatorial or statewide elections.
- Download the national template. All California references are modular
- Replace three paragraphs with your state's specific context
- Register your state chapter with US4A
- Your covenant joins the national public record
