DDD – Weekly Action Opportunities

Week Beginning May 28th, 2026

Of Special Note

VOTE! Submit your ballot for the Primary Election on June 2, 2026!  

Please vote for the strongest Democratic gubernatorial candidate that has the best opportunity of winning the primary. If you need guidance on choosing candidates for any of the state or county offices, please see the voter guide email from DDD Club President, Alex Barber.

If you are not voting in person, we encourage you to use a ballot drop off center rather than mailing your ballot. It is more timely and secure than the US Postal Service. There are several drop off centers in Indio, including City Hall.

Every registered CA voter can sign up for “Where’s My Ballot?” to receive automatic notifications about the status of their ballot, from when it is sent to the moment it is received and counted!
