This past week was a busy one for the committee and club. Thursday Night Market Place ended its season with a surprise Signs of Fascism march through the grounds of the event (Court House Plaza) and ended with a Bridge Brigade on Friday.

We made a final decision to have our Veteran’s Bridge Brigade in Lemoore only on Tuesday 11/11/25 from 9:30am to 11am. 

Our location is the 19th Avenue Overpass. The letters will be on the east side but we need people on both sides. 

We would love to have Veterans join us that day. 

You can park in the parking lot next to Vierra Baseball Field or along that street which is Silverado. 

If you have trouble walking, someone can pull over and drop you off. 

Let’s get out and recognize and honor ALL our Veterans and Their Families. 

Dem leaders will be there with letters, whistles and cowbells. 

So far, we’ve staged an event every week since mid-August except one week when it rained. We have, so far, three locations: 198 & 19th in Lemoore; 198 & 12th and 198 & Douty in Hanford.

Enjoy the photos below, in ascending order (most recent at bottom).

Please let us know if you can attend and watch this space for more on the coming events. Come join us!

In Solidarity,

By simply typing your address into the CA.Elected.Guide, you can view all your elected officials as well as their contact information.

Unfortunately, very few California voters know who their elected officials are, or how to contact them.

For example, do you know who is on your city council, school board or water board? It may not matter to you today. However, in the future, you may want to know how to contact one of your elected officials to let them know your thoughts on an issue.

We have created an extremely user-friendly way for individuals like you to reach out to your elected officials. That can only be beneficial for our democracy.

Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at: CA.Elected.Guide@Gmail.com.

Where: Sierra Pacific HS Cafeteria, Hanford

When: Saturday, May 10, 2025, 10a to Noon (it’s a wrap!)

Speakers: Dr. Randy Villegas, COS professor. Dr. Dan O’Connell, author of In The Struggle. And Laurie Pessante from the Sierra Club. Congressmen Valadao and Fong were invited to speak too.

It turns out that two hours were not enough to get to all the questions submitted by the audience (chits were distributed at the outset for attendees to write out their questions for panelists to answer). Afterward, attendees & guests mingled amongst themselves amiably. It was a joyous event, though we did miss our members of Congress … If you missed it, click here to watch part 1 and here for part 2.

Thank you to all the organizers who put on the event. We hope we can do it again sometime in the future.

This was the second town hall event so far over recent years; Mark Arax was among our invited guest at our Water Town Hall held at the Civic Auditorium several months ago. More to come..

Daily Kos has an article which explains well the xenophobic tendencies of some in our society. “Unless we are consistent with efforts before there’s an incident to have the kind of measured conversations about race and racism, we’re never going to get out of this kind of cycle,” said Elaine Gross, with the group Erase Racism.

As it turns out, Joe Biden & the Democrats in Congress actually did work on behalf of working-class Americans.
