  an organization which has the aim to separate the state of california from the union of the united states is set to hold a meeting at the state capitol in sacramento on wednesday november   the day after the presidential election 
  the yes california independence campaign  which is based in san diego describes itself as a nonviolent campaign to establish the country of california using any and all legal and constitutional means to do so 
  the group is currently trying to qualify a citizens initiative in  to get a referendum for secession on the ballot in  reports sf gate  they will be in sacramento in hopes to gather support for the states exit or the calexit as they call it 
  in our view the united states of america represents so many things that conflict with californian values and our continued statehood means california will continue subsidizing the other states to our own detriment and to the detriment of our children reads yes california s official website 
  the groups page reads on 
  although charity is part of our culture when you consider that californias infrastructure is falling apart our public schools are ranked among the worst in the entire country we have the highest number of homeless persons living without shelter and other basic necessities poverty rates remain high income inequality continues to expand and we must often borrow money from the future to provide services for today now is not the time for charity however this independence referendum is about more than california subsidizing other states of this country it is about the right to selfdetermination and the concept of voluntary association both of which are supported by constitutional and international law
  it is about california taking its place in the world standing as an equal among nations we believe in two fundamental truths  california exerts a positive influence on the rest of the world and  california could do more good as an independent country than it is able to do as a just a us state 
  yes california s website lays out  different points covering topics the group believes will benefit from a california exit from the us including education peace and security debt and taxes and immigration 
  one blog post on their page draws parallels with a calexit and the recent referendum known as brexit that passed in the uk in june which showed that most british people are ready for their country to leave the eu 
  the push for secession is nothing new to california in  the mayor of port orford oregon gilbert gable proposed the idea to push the oregon counties of curry josephine jackson and klamath to join with the california counties of del norte siskiyou and modoc to form a new state later named jefferson 
  modoc county of northern california voted in  to join neighboring siskiyou county in a push to secede from the state of california  
  in  two counties in northern california petitioned for the right to form a st state of america which they also wanted to name jefferson
