A Public Outreach Campaign Just For You!
Districts Make the Difference is a statewide public outreach campaign that was created to help increase public awareness and understanding of special districts.
It’s no secret that a majority of California residents are unaware of the state’s roughly 2,000 special districts. In fact, polling in 2015 revealed California voters overwhelmingly did not understand special districts’ role in providing essential local services like energy, fire protection and public safety, treatment and service of water, garbage removal, recreation, healthcare, and much more. The good news is that after being given basic information about what special districts are and how they function, voters then regarded special districts as extremely important.
It was with these polling results in mind that the California Special Districts Association created and launched the
Districts Make the Difference campaign to help improve education and perception of special districts in California.
Here you will find valuable tools, and free marketing materials designed to help connect special districts with the communities they serve. It is through such outreach that we hope the general public and special districts across the state continue their collective efforts to help California thrive.
