Help pass Prop 50 and stop the Trump / MAGA agenda by talking with targeted registered voters in your own neighborhood. The California Democratic Party can provide the list – through our mobile app, and the script and background materials – you provide the person power!

We will be launching this program the week of September 15th. You can sign up now if you’re interested and we’ll follow up with you.

Additionally, you can join CADEM’s virtual phonebanks and help stop the Trump / MAGA agenda to rig the midterm elections and passing Prop 50 is the best chance we have of taking back Congress next year.

They’ll be phoning 6 days per week, 2 shifts per day. – https://www.mobilize.us/cadems/event/833391/

Their Spanish language phonebanks will be Sundays from 12-2 and Thursdays from 6 – 8 PM. We have a separate Mobilize for those shifts – https://www.mobilize.us/cadems/event/833417/

We’ll gather on zoom and be using the Scale to Win dialer and will have a short training at the beginning of each shift. Join them as often as you can, encourage your friends to come and help save our country!

Our first bridge brigades went well in Lemoore and Hanford. 

We want to do these every Friday and on days that we have bigger protests. 

We had another enthusiastic group at last Friday’s Bridge Brigade in Hanford.

Our message was “HONK! Be Brave, Resist Tyranny!”

We plan to do at least one every Friday and maybe twice on Fridays if it is not too hot in the early evening. 

BRIDGE BRIGADE 9/5/2025
This Friday will be in Lemoore 7:15 to 8:30 Am at the 19th and 198 Bridge facing west bound traffic. 

Please let me know if you can attend. 

Watch this space for more on the coming events. Come join us!

In Solidarity,

Which state [among several others] voted for more Democrats than Republicans overall yet lost U.S. House elections?

One of the most prominent examples of a state that voted for Democrats overall but lost the U.S. House election in 2024 is

North Carolina. 

Here’s why:

• Competitive Electorate: North Carolina is known for its closely divided electorate, regularly ranking among the most electorally competitive states in the nation.
• Gerrymandering: Despite the even split in voting, the Republican-controlled legislature implemented a new congressional map in 2023. This redistricting shifted the state’s representation in the U.S. House of Representatives from an even 7-7 split to a 10-4 Republican advantage in the 2024 elections.

The Texas Republican-controlled legislature wants to do the same a year out from the 2026 mid-term election.

California has had an apolitical commission formed to fairly draw new district lines based on data from the U.S. census conducted every 10 years since 2010, whereas most Republican-leaning states allow their legislatures to draw congressional lines based on census data.

This leaves California with one option – draw new congressional district lines to make this a fair fight.

No more hoping they won’t cheat, ’cause we know now that Trump Republicans put their party above the country.

So, who the hell wouldn’t fight back?

Thank you Governor Newsom. Once again you demonstrate exemplary leadership while a convicted felon and his cult try to move us into a Mafia-style authoritarian government.

Check out the photos from the Bridge Brigade event, Friday, August 15. A small but mighty crew arrived to stir things up for morning & evening commuters along CA-198.

Bridge Brigades:  BE BRAVE WITH US. WE’LL STAND WITH YOU.

Contact Karla, 559-816-3486 or 559-212-4893 if you’d like to attend the next time.

AUGUST 9th EVENT in Hanford

If you didn’t make it, then here’s just some of what you missed:

SACRAMENTO – Governor Gavin Newsom today condemned the Trump administration’s decision to eliminate specialized suicide prevention support for LGBTQ youth callers through the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — a vital service used by hundreds of thousands in crisis. While the federal government turns its back on vulnerable youth, California is stepping up with historic mental health investments, including a $4.7 billion Master Plan for Kids’ Mental Health and continued partnerships with organizations like the Trevor Project to provide LGBTQ suicide prevention for youth.

The Central Valley Democratic Central Committees stand together in solidarity, adamantly opposing ICE’s recent attacks on communities in Los Angeles and across California. We demand the immediate release of SEIU California President David Huerta and all those unjustly targeted and detained by ICE.

We are witnessing a federal government that is disregarding due process and violating basic liberties—freedom of speech, the right to peaceful protest, and more. Immigrants have long been an integral part of California’s Central Valley and are valued members of our society, economy, and neighborhoods. We will not be divided, and we will not abandon our immigrant communities for political convenience.

While our democracy is under attack, our collective communities remain strong and united—from labor unions to civil rights organizations, interfaith groups, and, most importantly, our undocumented neighbors. An attack on one is an attack on all.

As a unified Central Valley, Democrats stand firm in support of our immigrant communities, our constitutional rights, and our democracy.
