Hi Fellow Democrats!

Tonight is our monthly meeting we will have a “hands on” interactive discuss about how to become a more proactive participant in the political process.

We will be talking about which elected officials represent our respective areas and how to engage them.

1. The role of the elected position and scope of their authority.

2. Who is in the positions presently (City Council, Board Supervisors, Assembly Member, State Senate, Congress, Senate, Vice President, and President).

3. Boards and Commissions (Hospital Boards, Planning Commission, School Board, Water, SANDAG, etc.)

4. Update Ceasefire Resolution. Letter writing.

5. Minutes and Agenda will be provided at the meeting.

7. Zoom link to participate

There is still an Ongoing Migrant Crisis

The current migrant crisis at our San Diego/Mexico Border is bleak and dire. Our San Diego County Board of Supervisors have allocated funds to address this crisis, but money is about to run out.

Congress must provide Federal Relief to help us address this problem. Tell your representatives to provide relief by providing the basic needs for these refugees to survive and to fully fund the ongoing efforts at the border.

It Only Takes 2 Minutes
