Hi  John,
 
The Freethought Equality Fund[[link removed]] has endorsed two excellent candidates for the California State Senate. Joy Silver came very close to unseating the Republican incumbent in this district in 2018, and is running again in a special election to fill the now open seat. Scott Wiener, a strong ally of the atheist and humanist community, is seeking re-election to his senate seat. Both are in competitive blanket elections on March 3, 2020. Short bios of these endorsed candidates are below, as are links to support their
campaigns. Please be as generous as you can.

Joy Silver[[link removed]] is running for the California State Senate in District 28. A special election will be held on March 3, 2020 to fill this vacant seat. Earning 48% of the vote in her first campaign in 2018, Silver ran a close second to defeating the Republican incumbent who left the seat to work in the Trump Administration. She is well positioned to win in 2020. Silver is a small business owner who has “the practical experience to get things done and strong values from a lifetime of experience serving seniors,
providing healthcare to those in need and advocating for underserved communities and at-risk populations.” Her policy goals are on “bringing good jobs, investing in career and vocational training, providing universal health care coverage, building a clean energy economy and advocating for immigrant communities.” She is openly gay and has experienced discrimination and unfair treatment firsthand – she will stand against discrimination for the freethought community. Silver is culturally Jewish.
 
Scott Wiener[[link removed]] is running for re-election to the California State Senate in District 11. He is an attorney and served on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in the district previously represented by Harvey Milk. Wiener is a very strong advocate of church-state separation. In high school he attempted to prevent Christian prayers at school events and was consequently the target of bigoted attacks. In the State Senate, Wiener works “to make housing more affordable, invest in our transportation systems, increase
access to healthcare, support working families, meaningfully address climate change and the impacts of drought, reform our criminal justice system, reduce gun violence, reduce California’s high poverty rate, and safeguard and expand the rights of all communities, including immigrants and the LGBT community.” Wiener is Jewish and an ally of the atheist and humanist community.

Sincerely,
