This November 5th, all Californians will have the opportunity to vote for a brighter, cleaner, healthier future for our communities, by voting Yes on Prop 4 (the Climate Bond)! This historic bond would be the single largest investment of public funding for climate resilience in California history.
We invite you to join us in envisioning a future that works for all of us. Supporting this bond means investing in our environment, our treasured biodiversity, and the well-being of all Californians, creating a brighter future for everyone.
Audubon California is proud to support the Yes on Prop 4 campaign and encourage all Californians who care about our shared future to vote for this unprecedented opportunity.
Proposition 4—also known as the Safe Drinking Water, Wildfire Prevention, Drought Preparedness, and Clean Air Bond Act of 2024—is a rare opportunity for Californians to make a real impact on climate change with their vote by November 5. Prop 4 secures $10 billion to ensure a better future for California's natural treasures, including its incredible birds and diverse landscapes, while at the same time protecting California's communities.

The need for action is urgent—according to Audubon’s science, nearly two-thirds of North American bird species could face extinction by the time someone born today in the U.S. reaches their average life expectancy of 76 years, by the year 2100.
These are urgent investments in proven solutions - from conserving rapidly disappearing habitats and protecting our natural treasures, to ensuring clean drinking water for all communities and preventing disastrous wildfires, resources will go where it is needed most to secure a resilient future.
Proposition 4 will be uniquely equitable because it dedicates at least 40% of its funding to underserved and climate-vulnerable communities.
Proposition 4 will support:
Habitat protection and restoration
Wildfire and forest resilience
Drought and flood prevention, and water resilience
Sea level rise protections and coastal resilience
Clean air programs
Park creation and outdoor access
Climate-smart and sustainable farms, ranches, and working lands.
It takes 30 seconds to let us know you’re Voting YES on Prop 4 for birds, people, and our future!
