John McNab will speak on the Midway Rising Sports Arena development
44th Roosevelt Dinner on May 31 at the Hilton Bayfront San Diego
Annual Summer Picnic on Sunday, July 14, 2024, at Kate Sessions
This Thursday, John McNab, a reporter and proponent of saving San Diego's costal public lands, will speak to us about the Midway Rising project and how it was the Trojan Horse used to unlock the catastrophic impacts of the entire development.
John McNab has is a proponent of saving San Diego's coastal public lands for enhanced access and enjoyment of the coast. He was president of Save Our NTC which brought four legal actions including one regarding the city violating the 30' height limit. He also was involved advocating for a waterfront park at the Navy Broadway site. Recently his group, Save Our Access, brought successful legal action against the city placing measure E, the lifting of the 30' foot height limit in the Midway-Sports Arena-NAVWAR-MCRD community which resulted in the placing of a redo, measure C, on the ballot prior to doing a complete mandated CEQA review. This issue is on appeal.

DesBorder Beach Cleanup on Friday, July 5
Leading up to July 5th DesBorder will encourage our youth groups and schools to participate in art-making and educational activities promoting environmental awareness.
A sculpture in the shape of a whale (want a chance to name the whale?) and created from repurposed materials, will be at the heart of the first cleanup in OB and will be the start of our whale’s migration to neighboring coastal community cleanup events throughout the year. DesBorder brings communities together to tackle our waterway pollution. Learn more about the project here.
Your membership with the club makes sure that you are directly linked to all of the exciting, important, and critical work your fellow members and sister organizations are doing at the local, county, state, and national level to promote Democratic values and principles. Join or renew your membership today. Email us if you have any questions.
