How to Use This Guide
The UWBA Voter Guide provides a summary of the measures on the November 2024 ballot that affect our mission and the communities we serve. This guide evaluates local and state measures that address both immediate needs and the systemic inequities contributing to poverty in the Bay Area.
Key Areas of Focus
- Basic Needs: Access to food, shelter, healthcare, and other essential services.
- Employment and Career Opportunities: Building pathways for youth and adults to achieve career goals and earn a living wage.
- Financial Stability: Empowering individuals and families to reach financial goals, navigate crises, and improve their quality of life.
- Housing Justice: Working with communities to improve access to stable, affordable housing and prevent homelessness.
Evaluation Criteria
Each ballot measure was evaluated using the following criteria:
- Fit: Does it align with UWBA’s Public Policy Agenda and our programs?
- Impact: How does it affect the populations we serve, and does it help dismantle systemic poverty?
- Benefits vs. Risks: Do the benefits outweigh the risks?
Measure Recommendations
Each measure receives one of the following recommendations:
- Support: Fully aligns with UWBA’s agenda and helps meet community needs.
- Neutral: Related to UWBA’s agenda, but we remain neutral, often in collaboration with statewide networks.
- Oppose: Detrimental to UWBA’s mission and programs.

UWBA Broadly Supports Investments in Education
Equitable access to quality education improves outcomes for students throughout their lives. As such, we support all school bond and parcel tax measures proposed by unified school districts in the Bay Area counties we serve. School bonds invest in educational facilities by funding essential renovation, construction, expansion, and modernization of classroom technology and equipment. Parcel taxes can fund vital services such as retaining qualified teachers and staff, expanding STEAM curricula and vocational programs, improving college readiness, investing in arts and extracurricular activities, and supporting student counseling and mental health services.
