“Technology is changing more rapidly than ever before, and tech corporations are already lining up to undermine the CCPA.

That’s why I hope California voters will join me in supporting Prop 24 by voting YES in November.”

Andrew Yang
Presidential Candidate (D), Entrepreneur and Founder of Humanity Forward

Rep. Ro Khanna
U.S. Representative representing CA-17, including most of Silicon Valley

Eleni Kounalakis
California Lieutenant Governor

Mayor Libby Schaaf
Mayor of Oakland

California Senate Majority Leader and co-author, California Consumer Privacy Act

Join me in voting YES on Prop 24”

Senator Nancy Skinner
California State Senator

Senator Ben Allen

“Some of the biggest tech companies have refused to honor Californians’ requests to stop the disclosure of their information for behavioral advertising, and they’re lobbying for exemptions for these practices in other states. California consumers should use their power as citizens to vote for Proposition 24 to show that they will stand up for themselves when some companies and legislators won’t.”

Maureen Mahoney, Ph.D.
Policy Analyst, Consumer Reports

“Prop 24 allows consumers to stop companies from using online racial profiling to discriminate against them.”

“Prop 24, the California Privacy Rights Act, builds on and strengthens the 2018 California Consumer Privacy Act. If passed, the law will give Californians among the best privacy protections in the world, and it includes provisions for its continuous strengthening against the relentless assaults of tech lobbyists. Prop 24 is necessary not because it is the last word, but because it is the right word today, ensuring that we continue to forge the path to a democratic digital future.”

Shoshana Zuboff
Professor Emerita at Harvard Business School

Paul Romer
Nobel Prize Winner in Economics

“CPRA [Proposition 24] would make privacy management possible, and easier than ever. … CPRA is a unique, American vision for privacy, one that is rights-based but also uses the marketplace to create pro-privacy incentives and business models. It’s an enormous improvement on Californian’s existing privacy rights.”

Chris Hoofnagle
Professor of Law, UC Berkeley

“Privacy regulations alone will not be enough to fix what is wrong with internet platforms – we require safety regulations and antitrust intervention, as well – but is a necessary part of the solution. Proposition 24 is the essential complement that delivers most of what CCPA originally promised. Please join me in voting YES on Prop 24 to strengthen consumer privacy laws in California.”

Roger McNamee
Author of Zucked and noted Silicon Valley investor

“For the first time, we will have a legal definition of “cross-context behavioral advertising”, and a legal framework that allows publishers to use their own (“first-party”) data but limits the tech industry’s ability to steal publishers’ audiences and their data. I contributed to the text of [Prop 24], and I believe that it will materially improve everybody’s privacy and will help publishers too.”

Johnny Ryan
Senior Fellow, Irish Council for Civil Liberties

“Unlike in Las Vegas, what happens in California doesn’t stay in California. California leads the nation in environmental protection, automobile safety, and now, data privacy.

Ashkan Soltani
Former FTC Chief Technologist & White House Senior Advisor

“If Prop 24 passes, it will become a permanent baseline for California privacy law increasing the already demanding requirements and potentially redefine informational privacy for the entire U.S.”

Lydia F. de le Torre
Adjunct Professor at Santa Clara Law School

“I believe Prop 24 would get California on par with the EU’s GDPR and that in turn could act as a spur to a Federal law.  Please Vote Yes on Prop 24.”

Tom Kemp

Education and Healthcare Leaders

“Prop 24 not only protects our children’s most private information such as health status, race, sexual orientation, and religion, it also triples fines for these egregious violations of privacy and requires consent before selling the information of kids under 16. Prop 24 creates a way to manage what’s being collected about our kids, who’s buying and selling it, and where it’s going.”

Dr. Lisa Strohman
JD, PhD, Founder & Director of Digital Citizen Academy

“It is urgent that we pass bold privacy policy to protect our kids. As a school board member and an expert in crimes against children- Prop 24 is the right way to go. We can protect the privacy of our students and make sure violations are enforced. We have no agency to administer our privacy laws and Prop 24 would put that in place. Join me and children’s advocates throughout California in saying yes on 24.”

Vice President of the Santa Ana Unified School District
