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

We will be talking about which elected officials represent our respective areas and how to engage with 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 on our Ceasefire Resolution. Letter writing campaign.

If you are unable to attend in person, please join us virtually using the zoom link below.
