Vote for Your Health

Venice Family Clinic believes voting is important. We encourage everyone in our community to vote in the General Election on November 5, 2024.

When more people vote, we help make health policies fairer for all of us. And that can help everyone’s health get better.

Your vote can help shape decisions about things that affect our health, like accessible and affordable health care, housing, education, food, childcare and safe public spaces.

By voting, you can help choose leaders who understand our community’s needs. You can also give your opinion about how the government should use its money and resources.
