Virtual Club Meeting: January 16, 2025

Join us for the first virtual club meeting of 2025 on Thursday, January 16 at 6:30pm.

Our Immediate Past President Will Rodriguez-Kennedy and Democratic activist and party volunteer Jason Bercovitch will give a presentation on the shrinking of the Democratic Party at the national and local levels, focusing on the 2024 results and compared to past election results. And just in case you thought we were done with endorsement meetings, fear not, for it appears we will need to consider an endorsement in a soon-to-be scheduled special election for County Supervisor in District 1.

The County Board of Supervisors will consider options for the soon-to-be-vacant District 1 seat, so it's best that we start our process in the next month given the expected truncated timeline for whenever the special election would be held.

For truth, justice, and a better tomorrow...

Happy New Year!

We hope you've had an amazing holiday season these last few weeks, and are looking forward (anxiously and/or motivated) to make some good things happen this year.

As we enter 2025, I'd be remiss to not mention that we are entering our 50th anniversary as a Democratic club.

For those who know the history, our club was founded in the privacy and safe spaces of loving friends and family in 1975. This was back during a time when the first marchers in the San Diego Pride Parade wore paper bags over their heads because of fear from being outed and ostracized, being the targets of bigotry, hate, and discrimination.

Unfortunately, with the rise of anti-LGBTQ hate in recent years, somethings feel like they haven't changed so much in spite of all the other progress we've made along the way.

2024 Holiday Party: Saturday, Dec. 14

It's that special time of year again! We are excited to collaborate with some of our allied Democratic clubs to celebrate the season and the yuletide with the firewood and the chestnuts and all that jazz.

Please join San Diego Democrats for Equality, AAPI Democratic Club of San Diego, Latina Democratic Club, and the Clairemont Democratic Club for a joint holiday party on Saturday, December 14th from 4:00pm to 6:30pm at Uptown Tavern in Hillcrest.

Since space is limited, we are encouraging RSVPs so be sure to RSVP here!

Otherwise, there will not be a regular club meeting this month. Enjoy the holidays!

As difficult as it is to reconcile your feelings, your rationale, and your sense of self, it's important that we take some measure of solace that we all did what we needed to do to win this election.
