As the COVID19 pandemic forces us all to socially distance, we are doing something new this year.
A Zoom link will be sent out to all RSVP's that afternoon. If you didn't receive your zoom link, send an email to WellstoneDems@gmail.com.
Check your email on Thursday for the zoom link.
2 Exciting Speakers:

and
Theo Lequesne with Center for Biological Diversity we need to take action so we can survive!

Then the business part of our meeting:
Prop 16 discussion: Repeal the ban on affirmative action
Opportunity for All coalition
Although we are socially distancing and unable to meet in person in order to keep our community safe, we are entering in to prime campaign season and everyone needs to be educated on the issues and the candidates. Our August Meeting is jam packed! First we will be discussing Proposition 16 which seeks to repeal Proposition 209 that was passed in 1996. Then we will have the opportunity to endorse 4 candidates running for local office:
Tami Nelson - Los Rios Community Trustee Area 7
Ali Moua - Elk Grove City Council District 1
Chris Yatooma - Los Rios Community Trustee Area 3
Siri Pulpipati - Rancho Cordova City Council
We will have quite a busy meeting: click here for the full agenda.

The three main items are:
NOTE: The actual vote will begin AFTER the meeting, electronically, and balloting will be open for 7 days.
Dues and attendance policies still apply. Click here to renew your dues.
Tonight's meeting will be an opportunity for us all to check in with one another, discuss how we are coping with the pandemic / police violence / possible martial law, and to workshop specific policies to stop the police recommended by Black-led groups.
Please take a moment to review the policies below and think about what we can implement here in Sacramento (City and County).
We will also vote to approve temporary electronic voting rules (which will eventually have to be ratified by an in-person vote in the future).

Gayle McLaughlin will be joining us to discuss the path forward for Democrats and progressives after the Primary and during this pandemic. She is a dedicated civil servant who has served as the former mayor of Richmond, CA, a founder of the Richmond Progressive Alliance, and now a founder of the CA Progressive Alliance.
So much has changed in this last month! We hope that everyone is safe - for those who are able to shelter in place and for those who have to do the important essential work that we are all so dependent on. Even though we are spatially distancing ourselves, please know that during these times it is most important for us to be connected with each other and to actually take the time to reach out to family, friends, and even strangers. WE are all in this together and we all need to be intentional in taking care of ourselves as well as looking out for those around us.
