> California Secretary of State Shirley Weber has approved a ballot initiative allowing the collection of signatures for a potential vote on California’s independence from the U.S. in 2028. The measure, led by Marcus Evans, would require over 546,000 valid signatures by July 22, 2025, to qualify. If placed on the ballot and approved by voters, it would express a “vote of no confidence” in the U.S. but would not legally separate California from the country. Instead, it would establish a commission to study the feasibility of independence.
