The Our Neighborhood Voices (ONV) State Initiative will STOP the destructive, top-down zoning laws coming from Sacramento and return zoning decision-making to cities and towns.

We support ONV's ballot initiative. ONV is working hard to give every California voter a say about what happens in their own neighborhoods — but they need your help!

DONATE They need funding to push this across the finish line. Click here to donate today.

Prepare to collect signatures. View this Initiative Timeline to understand the initiative process.

Invite fellow activists and friends and host an ONV House Party to ask questions and learn more about the Initiative and signature collection process.
