9th Annual Roosevelt-Hamer Dinner, Saturday, April 8th

Santa Barbara County Democratic Party Santa Barbara County Democratic Party

 

Save the Date! The 9th Annual Roosevelt-Hamer Dinner will be on Saturday, April 8th at 6 PM.

The theme of this year’s dinner is Making a Stand: Progress and Resistance. Santa Barbara Democrats are ready to fight back–with City Council and Mayoral elections for the City of Santa Barbara in November, and daily challenges to our rights and freedoms coming from the Trump Administration.

This year’s dinner will honor Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, high school students campaigning for Ethnic Studies Now in local schools, Isla Vista activist and SBCC Trustee Jonathan Abboud, and Gail Teton-Landis for her enduring volunteerism for the Party.

RSVP and purchase your seats now to join us at the Carrillo Ballroom at 100 E Carrillo in Downtown Santa Barbara to celebrate this year’s award recipients and help thank them for their contribution to a stronger Democratic community.

 

Welcome to the Resistance!

If you need any more information about the dinner, or are interested in sponsoring or buying a program ad, please contact us at: (805) 965-8030 or info@sbdems.org. To purchase your tickets now, click here.

In Solidarity,

Learn How, When & Where the Democratic Party Works

 
Ever wonder to yourself, “what the F%@$ is the Democratic Party?!?” We hear so much about it all the time, but there isn’t much out there giving a clear and honest explanation of the party tailored to people not very deep in politics. Since so many people are interested in getting involved in the wake of the recent election, we thought it would be good to host this event.
Come have your questions answered and be empowered to make a change
Sunday, Feb. 12, 1-4 p.m. at Impact Hub (1117 State St.)

We’ll be exploring questions like:

Who is in charge of the Democratic Party? How are decisions made?

Who is voting for DNC Chair on Feb 23rd, and how can I get involved?

What exactly is the structure of the party? How does the average person fit it?

What’s the difference between the DNC we hear about a lot, the California Democratic Party, and the SB Democratic Party?

What is the future of the party? How can we affect the future?

And more!

This is a free event. Parking is available at Lot 4 on Chapala between Figeroua and Anapamu. For more information contact:
Please mark yourself as going and share the facebook event!
