The ongoing public health crisis and spiking coronavirus rates in California have led to feelings of uncertainty for the majority of people living in the state.
As the country heads toward the 2020 election, there has been a massive push to rally young people, spark political engagement among the youth, and increase voter registration in their age group.

Wamarekani hutumia vyombo vya habari kwenye majukwaa mbalimbali ili kuwa na habari kuhusu siasa. Mitandao ya kijamii ni moja ya majukwaa ya msingi ya ushiriki wa vyombo vya habari, na Wamarekani wengi hupokea idadi kubwa ya habari zao kwenye mitandao ya kijamii. COVID-19: Wanafunzi wa sasa na wa kuja wana wasiwasi juu ya athari ya janga hilo kwa elimu yao Wanafunzi wa chuo kikuu nchini kote walipata usumbufu wa kitaaluma kama matokeo ya janga la Coronavirus. Uchunguzi wa wanafunzi wa COVID-19 ulifanywa na Tume ya Msaada wa Wanafunzi wa California kwa kushirikiana na Maabara ya Elimu ya California katika Shule ya Elimu ya UC Davis. Wakati taifa linapojitahidi kupambana na athari kali za coronavirus, watu wengi na familia wanakabiliwa na ukosefu wa ajira na kupoteza kazi, wasiwasi wa afya, wasiwasi wa kifedha, na maeneo mengine mengi ya ugumu. Kwa upande mwingine, jamii ya Latinos inaathiriwa zaidi ikilinganishwa na vikundi vingine, ripoti ya hivi karibuni ya Kituo cha Utafiti cha Pew inagundua. Mgogoro wa afya ya umma unaoendelea na viwango vya coronavirus katika California vimesababisha hisia za kutokuwa na uhakika kwa watu wengi wanaoishi katika jimbo hilo. Wakati nchi inakaribia uchaguzi wa 2020, kumekuwa na msukumo mkubwa wa kuwakusanya vijana, kuchochea ushiriki wa kisiasa miongoni mwa vijana, na kuongeza usajili wa wapiga kura katika kikundi chao cha umri. Ili kuelewa zaidi jinsi idadi hii ya watu inaweza kufanya kazi mnamo Novemba, Chuo Kikuu cha California (U.C.) Utafiti uliofanywa na YouGov kwa niaba ya serikali ya Marekani ulionyesha kuwa janga la coronavirus lilisababisha upungufu mkubwa wa ajira nchini Marekani. Wamarekani wanapojaribu kuendesha kawaida mpya katika afya, elimu ya watoto, na kazi za kila siku, wanaathiriwa pia na kupunguzwa kwa nguvu za kazi. Kituo cha Chuo Kikuu cha Georgetown cha Elimu na Wafanyakazi hivi karibuni kilitoa ripoti kwamba [...] Msaada kwa Black Lives Matter unaongezeka. Karibu nusu ya Wamarekani wanaamini Trump amezidisha uhusiano wa kijamii. """Kama mgogoro wa afya ya umma unavyozidi kuongezeka kote Marekani, nchi inalazimika kukabili matokeo mengine mabaya ya ukosefu wake wa ufanisi: ubaguzi wa rangi wa mfumo na ukatili wa polisi dhidi ya Wamarekani weusi." Harakati ya Black Lives Matter imekazia kuzingatia masuala haya kwa miaka, na hivi karibuni ilipata traction baada ya kifo cha George Floyd, akidai kuwa baada ya miezi mitatu ya kukaa nyumbani, amri, vizuizi, na chanjo ya habari ya COVID-19, Wamarekani wanaripoti mabadiliko katika tabia zao za kutazama habari, uelewa wa coronavirus, na imani katika nadharia za njama. Alzheimer & Associates imezindua tovuti mpya ya kampuni ya Alzheimer & Associates na inajivunia kutangaza kukuza Olivia Askins kuwa Meneja wa Akaunti. Kwa kuongezea, Julia Mariano amejiunga na Mkakati wa ALZA kama Mshirika. Wakati uchaguzi wa Novemba unakaribia, viongozi wengi wa serikali na maafisa wa uchaguzi wanaendeleza chaguo la kupiga kura kwa barua wakati wa janga la sasa. Kupiga kura kwa barua hupunguza hatari ya kuenea kwa COVID-19 na kuondoa vikwazo vya kupiga kura kwa mtu binafsi ambavyo watu wengi wanakabili, kama kusafiri kwenda kituo cha kupiga kura cha mbali au kulipa utunzaji wa watoto ili kuweza kupiga kura.
