WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO

The Commonwealth Club of California initiated Voices of Reform in 2004 to foster probing discussions of state-level governance reform issues, make these discussions available to a broad range of people throughout California, and encourage opinion leaders and policy makers to actively pursue promising reforms.

The goal was to contribute to a social and political environment that can produce structural changes to state government to make it more responsive, effective, and fiscally sound. Issues VoR addresses include: redistricting; term limits; campaign financing; the state budget process; the initiative process; voter access and participation; and civic engagement.
