Additional areas of particular interest were:
Paying for “Red Cards” that list immigrants’ legal rights and resources that can be distributed locally, including at colleges;
Engaging with local civic clubs and organizations to build alliances;
Joining Take Action San Diego to build and maintain a platform for protests and actions;
Bringing in experts on how to talk with MAGA supporters and disaffected Democrats and independents;
Supporting the efforts of local teachers unions and the National Education Association to save the Department of Education;
How to gear up for the 2026 election cycle when we will elect a new California governor and other statewide officials, SD City Council District 2 (Mission Beach, OB, Pt Loma, Midway, Old Town and Bay Park), school board members and judges.

THANK YOU
To quote our good friend Wendy Gelernter, "thank you for being part of a movement that is slowly shifting public opinion and turning the tide against the cruel, dangerous and anti-democratic MAGA agenda. Whether it's the business leaders worrying about recession, the angry constituents at Republican town halls, the court system that is slowing down the flood of unconstitutional actions or the tens of thousands showing up to cheer Bernie and AOC in red and purple states, our movement is growing! Keep up the pressure, keep taking care of yourself and keep being kind!"
And hope to see you at the San Diego April 5 "Hands Off" Rally!
