Office of Diversity Election Hub

The Office of Diversity utilizes the theory of Social Justice as its foundation for our practice. We are advocates for issues involving human rights and civil rights; they are integral to our aspiration to become a more inclusive East Bay. This page is a resource for information regarding diversity, equity and inclusion voting issues. For more general resources around the election and voting please see the Cal State East Bay Election page.
