available in De La Guerra Plaza throughout the SB Inauguration
Demonstration. To learn more, please see our Invitation to

It’s Been A Busy Fall
Here’s what we’ve been up to
thanks to the volunteers who made it possible:
Registering Voters: Our outreach team on the SBCC campus registered over 200 voters once students returned to campus. That operation, along with tabling at the Pacific Pride Festival in August and the Coalition Against Gun Violence’s Concert Across America in September, was led by Jim MacMillanwith consistent help from a team of volunteers taking multiple shifts over several weeks:
| Pat Beals | Mickey Flacks | Meredith McMinn |
| Jessica Bixler | Gail Gillies | Kate Mead |
| EJ Borah | Sally Hearon | Nancy Miller |
| Temmy Bowman | Bev Herbert | Chris Nelson |
| Jody Byron Cooper | Jane Herner | Chris Pursell |
| Jan & Chas. Clouse | Vijaya Jammalamadaka | Janet & Harvey Shapiro |
| Leslie Edgerton | Jim LeVasseur |
Mary Stoddard |
| Gail Eisen | Charlotte MacMillan | Barbara Tennison |
| Jane Fehrenbacher | Kathy McGuire | Gail Teton-Landis |
DSC Welcome Desk: For the third successive congressional election year, the DSC maintained a reliable volunteer presence–five days a week, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.–at the coordinated campaign headquarters, answering phones, entering canvass data, registering voters, greeting walk-ins, and offering Hillary merchandise for donations. Many thanks to steady volunteers:
