Please join us March 2nd at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco for a "Partners Launch" of California Choices, a new way to navigate, comprehend, and make choices about the many reform proposals that are under serious discussion and are being placed before voters in 2010.

Before this ground breaking website goes live to the public, we are convening leading experts on reform and civic participation to discuss the current status of 2010 reforms and the public's role in making progress in our state. At this event we will release brand new multilingual Field Poll data with new insights on public attitudes about reform issues and will discuss how greater public education and engagement is an integral part of moving California past its current dysfunction.

California Choices is a project of Next 10 and Stanford's Bill Lane Center for the American West with the Institute for Government Studies at U.C. Berkeley and the Center for California Studies at Sacramento State.
