Sherafy’s 2026 California Voter Guide brings our election research into one place, with clear recommendations and links to the full evidence behind each one.
Documented analysis of Israel, Palestine, Gaza, the West Bank, regional geopolitics, U.S. policy, media narratives, international law, and humanitarian consequences.
