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.
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.
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.
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.
You can register for the special virtual endorsement-palooza here.
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!
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.
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.
