How to Help with the Voter Referendum Petition Against the CarMax

Are you concerned that our elected Pleasant Hill City Council no longer listens to the voters who put them into office?  Are you concerned that the CarMax Project was approved unanimously against overwhelming community opposition?  Are you concerned that the City Council plans to transform a small, charming town like Pleasant Hill into a dense Corporate jungle with projects all over the City?  Want to get involved with the campaign to repeal the CarMax Project or put it to a vote of the City's electorate, but are not sure how?  Well, read on.

1. Sign the referendum petition.  If you are a registered voter, sign the referendum petition at one of the signature gathering events or from one of our friendly neighborhood volunteers who will be going door to door to gather signatures.

Not able to come to one of the signature gathering events or a signature gatherer missed you at home?  No problem.  Just email us at alternatives2carmax@gmail.com and one of our volunteers will contact you to get your signature on the petition.

Not registered to vote?  No problem.  Register to vote online.  It only takes a few minutes.  Go to the State of California Online Voter Registration >> click here

2. Become a signature gatherer.  If you are registered to vote in the State of California and are at least 18 years of age, you can help us gather signatures.  Please contact us at alternatives2carmax@gmail.com and we'll give you all the information you need.  On average, volunteer signature gatherers get 50-100 signatures, but you can get more or less depending on how much time you are able to volunteer.

3. Volunteer to support the cause.  Even if you are not a signature gatherer, there is a lot of logistics that goes into a referendum petition drive.  We are looking for people to help with graphic design, marketing, fund raising, social media, and administrative support.  Contact us at alternatives2carmax@gmail.com if you are interested in helping.

4. Donate to the petition effort.  Although we are grateful for the many volunteers who are donating their time in valuable sweat equity, running a referendum petition drive does take some funds.  If you are interested in donating any amount, big or small, we would greatly appreciate it.  We will be adding an online donation form soon, but for now, please email us at alternatives2carmax@gmail.com with your pledge and one of our friendly volunteers will contact you.
