December 14th Special Endorsement Meeting!

We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with friends, family, and loved ones!

Although we normally don't have club meetings in December, there are a number of special circumstances coming up where our party will need to consider endorsements in January, and that leaves us with no good options on trying to scheduling something during the holidays.

So, to prevent minimal obligations during the holiday season, we are calling a special club meeting to be held on Thursday, December 14th (second Thursday) at our regular time of 6:30pm.

You can register for the special virtual meeting here.

November 2023 Virtual Meeting!

Join us for our virtual meeting this month on Thursday, November 16th at 6:30pm.

As some of our North County races start to get under way, we will consider a friendly incumbent endorsement for one of our amazing LGBTQ+ incumbents: Vista District 3 Councilmember Katie Melendez.

Also, we will consider endorsements for Assembly Districts 74 & 75, and for Superior Court Judge Office 41.

You can register for the virtual meeting here.

October 2023 Virtual Meeting!

Join us for our virtual meeting this month on Thursday, October 19th at 6:30pm, as we consider an endorsement for U.S. Senate. There is a high-profile Democratic race between Congressmembers Barbara Lee, Katie Porter, and Adam Schiff.

The California Democratic Party will be considering an endorsement at the next state convention in Sacramento next month.

Also, we will hear a presentation on why local judicial elections are important.

Special Endorsement-Palooza Virtual Meeting!

Join us for a special endorsement-palooza meeting to be held (virtually) on Sunday, September 24th at 12:00pm Noon.

We will consider endorsements for all of the San Diego-area congressional and state legislative seats, as well as two other special considerations.

The California Democratic Party's Pre-Endorsement meetings are scheduled to take place on October 21st OR the 22nd, so it's important that our club has its legislative endorsements locked in place before then.

AIDS Walk San Diego 2023

AIDS Walk San Diego is coming up on Saturday, September 30th, and we are excited to announce that our club will be participating and walking!

Join us as we walk (or run) to help raise funds for HIV/AIDS support services and education through the San Diego LGBT Community Center.

We just created our club's team page, so if you'd like to register to walk (or just donate towards our club's efforts) you can do so at this link.

We're looking forward to seeing as many of you out there as we can!

Special Virtual Meeting: August 31, 2023

With the results of Tuesday's special election for County Supervisor District 4 coming into focus, we want to congratulate both Democratic candidates for their spirited campaigns.

While no candidate pulled over 50%, there will now be a run-off election on November 7th and the choices couldn't be more different.

That's why we are calling a special endorsement meeting to be held (virtually) on Thursday, August 31 at 6:30pm to consider consolidating our support behind Monica Montgomery Steppe.

Thank You for Marching!

We hope you had a safe and amazing time at Pride last weekend!

Thank you to our club members who marched with our contingent including Congresswoman Sara Jacobs, staff from Congressman Scott Peters' office, members from Equality California, and our endorsed candidate for County Supervisor, Janessa Goldbeck.

As we continue to organize out of the post-pandemic doldrums we are planning to be back into the full swing of things next Pride with a booth.

Our Friend, Coyote Moon

Coyote Moon
1954 - 2023

Dear Democrats for Equality,

With a heavy heart, we sadly inform you about the passing this week of Coyote Moon, a longtime member who served on our club's executive board for several years.

She was a trailblazer as much as she was a troublemaker in all the best ways. Uncompromising in her values, not afraid to speak her mind, and fearless in spirit.

Happy Pride Month! It's Time to Renew Your Membership!

We hope you are all having a safe and enjoyable Pride Month!

It's that time of year to also renew your club membership! Memberships are up for renewal on June 30th.

You can renew on our website here!

Keep in mind, if you have renewed in the last couple weeks you may not have to renew. If you'd like to join and become a member, there's no better time than now!

Any membership questions can be directed to myself or our VP for Resource Development Ryan Darsey at [email protected].

Let's Recognize Mental Health Awareness Month

With today being the last day of May, and before we kick off festivities for Pride Month, I wanted to take an opportunity to recognize Mental Health Awareness Month.

Mental Health Awareness Month has been observed during the month of May throughout our country since 1949 as a way to raise awareness about mental health. It's a way for individuals who fight and struggle through mental health issues to find support and to help educate others.

There is absolutely a need to advocate for those policies that can help the millions who find themselves in a never-ending battle against anxiety, depression, loneliness, self-doubt, self-worth, and other afflictions.

That's why I want you to be aware... that I am not a stranger to this struggle.
