July 2010 Events & Opportunities
Jul 4, 2010 Uncategorized
1. Opening on Democratic Central Committee: There is an open seat for the 4th District (which includes parts of Redwood City, Menlo Park and East Palo Alto) on the Democratic Central Committee, which acts like a Board of Supervisors for the Democratic party in the San Mateo County. If you’re interested, please contact Chris Balme at chris@rcwdemocrats.com. Here’s a map of District 4 to determine if you are within the district. Act soon – this may be decided as early as July 9th. It’s a great opportunity to help lead the Democratic Party’s local work.
2. Jail Debate: As you’ve likely heard, there is a lot of controversy around the potential construction of a large jail in downtown Redwood City. Many citizens are organizing to oppose the idea; while the Club has not taken a formal stance on this, we will pass along what we’ve received. Those in opposition to putting the jail downtown are organizing with this website, which includes an online petition: http://www.nodowntownjail.org.
3. CAUSE Meeting (California Advocates United to Save Education). Two local organizers, Mark Cardenas and Maria Stockton, will be hosting a meeting on Saturday, July 10th, 1-2pm, in Redwood City. CAUSE’s goal is to restore California’s education system. For more information please contact Maria at stargazer3773@rocketmail.com.
4. Openings for Board Members
As the Redwood City Woodside Democratic Club grows, and as we move toward election season, we need additional Board members to help lead the Club. If you’re interested, please email Chris Balme at chris@rcwdemocrats.com.
5. San Mateo County needs you! California needs you!
November’s not so far away, and it’s critical that we get every Democrat registered to vote and off to the polls if we are to take California back and help Barbara Boxer retain her seat in the US Senate. Many other important local and statewide races and propositions will be on the ballot as well, and with the much publicized energized Republican base at work, we need to be sure we’re all doing our part to help the party that puts people’s interests first. It’s fun and easy to do – and we’ll train you, too! Volunteer to help with Voter Registration by contacting Diana Reddy, diana.94062@yahoo.com.
