New SB Campaign HQ Opens: volunteer-driven canvassing with neighborhood walks starting at 10 a.m. on Saturdays and 1 p.m. on Sundays

  Campaigns 2019-20
 

With Labor Day in the rear-view mirror, the campaigns for Santa Barbara City Council and County Board of Supervisors have kicked into high gear with the opening of a new Santa Barbara County Democratic Party headquarters that will get the work done not only for this November and next March’s Primary, but on through 2020. The HQ is located centrally at 123 E. Carrillo Blvd.

According to Operations Director Spencer Brandt, last weekend’s kickoff went well, making initial contact with hundreds of voters in support of council candidates Mike Jordan (District 2) and Alejandra Gutierrez (District 1) as well as 1st District Supervisor Das Williams.
There are only 3 weeks left until mail-in ballots for the City Council election go out. Many people in Santa Barbara still don’t even know an election is happening. We need to contact them as soon as possible, and that’s why our volunteer work is so very much appreciated.

The schedule of volunteer-driven canvassing and phone banking will continue with neighborhood walks starting at 10 a.m. on Saturdays and 1 p.m. on Sundays, while Monday thru Friday phone banking beginning at 5 p.m. will start September 20.

To get involved in the action or for questions contact Spencer at 559-805-0733 or email.

Nobody is Above the Law Rally, Release the Muller Report

Raise our voices! The Mueller investigation must be transparent for all to see! We will be sure all our representatives, nationwide, know that 80% of the American people believe this full report should be made public.

WHEN:
Thursday, April 4 at 5 p.m.
WHERE
De la Guerra Plaza
Santa Barbara, CA 93101

 

Attorney General William Barr said he will make the Mueller Report available–with redactions–in mid-April, so he will miss U. S. House of Representative’s April 2 deadline.

We now have the rare opportunity to get out ahead of an issue and shape it!

SHOW WASHINGTON WHAT WE WANT!  SHOW HOW STRONGLY WE WANT IT!

RELEASE THE FULL MUELLER REPORT!  IT IS OURS!  WE HAVE WAITED TWO YEARS FOR IT!

A show of strength here and across the country stiffens spines in Washington.  This has happened more times than we can count. It’s time to do it again!

MoveOn.Org, Indivisible, Common Cause, the Sierra Club and a host of other sponsors are calling for a national mobilization for Thursday (4/4/2019)
