SUMMARY:Census 2020 Virtual Meeting with Sara Pol-Lim
DESCRIPTION:CENSUS 2020:  Time to get your questions answered!!\nThe 2020 Census determines how billions of federal dollars are distributed in California. An undercount could impact funding for our schools\, health services\, childcare\, emergency services and many other programs. \nThe Census also determines the number of California’s Congressional members and Electoral College votes. A complete count means more people in power who truly represent and advocate for our communities. \n  \nLink no longer available. \n(Meeting maximum: 300 people) \n  \nPeople want to know: \nWhat is California doing to work towards a complete and accurate count in the 2020 Census? \nWhat is the California Census Office doing to encourage participation? \nHow is private information protected? \nWho must respond to the Census? \nWhat questions do you have?  Join us on April 16 to get the answers! \n  \nAbout the presenter: \nSara Pol-Lim is a Regional Program Manager for the California Complete Count – Census 2020. She joined the state Census Office in October 2018. Sara brought knowledge of historically undercounted populations\, such as immigrant and refugee communities\, to the State’s Census outreach campaign. A refugee herself\, she understands the fear some California residents have of government. Sara was executive director of the United Cambodian Community (UCC) of Long Beach from 2007 to 2015. She broke the cultural barrier to be the first Cambodian Woman to lead the UCC back to sustainability. In 2018\, Sara completed a doctoral degree in educational leadership at California State University\, Long Beach. Through her community work\, Sara has received awards from numerous organizations\, including the NAACP-Long Beach\, the state Assembly and the Los Angeles County Supervisorial District. \n  \n[themify_button style=”xlarge green” link=”https://zoom.us/j/766434041?pwd=NEdQT3J2cUtTWFYvZmVCOEduenV0Zz09″ target=”<strong>_blank</strong>”]JOIN THE ZOOM MEETING[/themify_button]

SUMMARY:Primary Election Day
DESCRIPTION:Election Day Info\nThis will be the first time Orange County will use Voting Centers.  Every registered voter will be mailed a ballot.  Voters can then choose to mail it back (at no cost)\, drop it off at ANY Voting Center\, or drop in to a Voting Center to cast a ballot on-site. \n[themify_button style=”large red” link=”https://ocvote.com/fileadmin/vc/vclist.html” target=”<strong>_blank</strong>”]Find your closest Vote Center or Drop Box![/themify_button] \nYou still need to register to vote\, but you can also drop into any Voting Center location to register and vote the same day!  For more information on voting centers\, visit the Orange County Registrar’s website. \nNeed to check the status of your registration? \n\nOFFICIALLY-ENDORSED DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES\n\n\nCongressional Representative\nDistrict 45 – Katie Porter*\nDistrict 49 – Mike Levin*\nState Senate\nDistrict 37 (No endorsement) – Dave Min (Democrat)\, Katrina Foley (Democrat)\nState Assembly\nDistrict 73 – Scott Rhinehart\nDistrict 68 – Melissa Fox\nCounty Offices\nOrange County Board of Education\, Trustee Area 3 – Andy Thorburn\nOrange County Board of Supervisors\, District 3 – Ashleigh Aitken\n* Indicates incumbent candidate \n2020 Proposition 13 – YES\nIt is different from the 1978 Jarvis Proposition 13\, which crippled California’s ability to fund vital needs. 2020 Proposition 13 provides needed funds for school facilities. 2020 Proposition 13 is endorsed by the California Democratic Party. It “authorizes Bonds for Facility Repair\, Construction\, and Modernization at Public Preschools\, K-12 Schools\, Community Colleges\, and Universities. Legislative Statute.” And raises the ceilings for school and community college districts’ bonds. Authorizes $15 billion in state general obligation bonds to improve public education facilities\, including earthquake/fire safety and removal of lead from water. Limits administrative costs to 5 percent. \nMeasure A – NO\n“An Ordinance … Amending the [Orange] County Charter to Require a 2/3 Vote of the Board of Supervisors to Propose Taxes …” Currently a simple majority is required to present for election the imposition\, extension\, or increase of a tax. This measure raises the requirement to a vote by four of the five Supervisors\, making it extremely difficult to raise revenues. It is an attempt by current Republican supervisors to tie the hands of Democrats if they should win the majority of seats on the Board of Supervisors. \nCapistrano Unified School District\nSchool Facilities Improvement Bond – YES on Measure I\n“Capistrano Unified School District School Facilities Improvement Bond Measure.” Generates $300 million in bond funds. Tax on property not to exceed $34 per $100\,000 assessed value. Bond funds may be used only to build or improve school facilities; cannot be used for salaries or other operating expenses; requires annual performance and financial audits; establishes an independent citizen’s oversight committee. \nSaddleback Valley Unified School District\nLocal School Facilities Improvement Bond – YES on Measure M\n“Saddleback Valley Unified School District School Facilities Safe and Modern Classroom Bond Measure.” It is similar to Measure I above\, except for a different amount: $495 million. \n\n  \nLIVE IN ORANGE COUNTY\, BUT NOT IN OUR AREA?\nCheck out the Democratic Party of Orange County’s Endorsement Guide to find out all of our endorsed candidates across Orange County!\n \n

SUMMARY:General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Spotlight on Gun Violence Awareness:\nKeeping the Momentum Going!\nGun violence is an epidemic in the United States\, with over 100 people killed by guns every day. Come hear about the work of two organizations that are making a big difference in the fight to end gun violence in this country. \n  \n \nLearn about the history and development of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America\, a grassroots organization formulated in response to the Sandyhook Elementary School shooting in 2012. The speakers will explain how MDA volunteers work towards “gun sense” in America and what you can do to help. \nAbout the presenters:\nMaribeth McFaul – Moms Demand Action activist\, artist\, art teacher\, and mother of five boys. Maribeth campaigned for Katie Porter as part of the “Freeway Rebels” Banner Team. She joined Moms Demand Action four years ago\, when the constant threat of gun violence in public places began to feel like an epidemic. Maribeth has been a resident of Mission Viejo for 40 years and currently lives in the Costa Del Sol community. \nMichelle Wendehost – English and Spanish teacher at Newhart Middle School in Mission Viejo. Michelle became a member of Moms Demand Action due to her fear that her students\, not to mention her own son\, could die by gun violence if common sense laws are not enacted now. Michelle campaigned for Mike Levin and Harley Rouda\, both of whom have gun-sense policies.  She and her husband live in San Clemente and their son is a student at UC Riverside. \nBrady Orange County (formerly Orange County Brady Chapter) is the longest running gun violence prevention organization in Orange County. Presentation topics include state and federal legislation and the organization’s work to elect gun violence prevention congressional candidates. The group’s efforts helped set the table for the historic positive action in the House this year. It faces the same challenge to keep the momentum going in Sacramento. \nAbout the presenters:\nCharlie Blek has been working the grassroots of gun violence prevention since 1995 and he will share what brought him to this issue. Charlie served as the founding President of the California Brady Chapters. On May 1 st he will step down as President and Sandy Wilder will take over the position. Charlie recently retired from the practice of law and has been honored by Loyola Law School for his work on gun policy. His article “Our Second Amendment” was published by the American Bar Association. \nMary Leigh Blek began her work in gun violence prevention in 1995 and worked along with Charlie to form the national Million Mom March which merged with the Brady Campaign in the early 2000s. As President Emeritus of the Million Mom March\, she worked in DC as the chapters merged into a powerful grassroots component of the Brady. Her educational background at UCLA School of Nursing and public health graduate studies provided the background for her focus on reforming California and the country’s gun policy. The Bleks have been honored by many national and local organizations. Mary Leigh has spoken before the United Nations\, given Congressional hearing testimony and was invited to speak in Rome and Belgium. \nMeet the organization’s new president: Sandy Wilder is the dynamic leader who will take over the Presidency of Brady Orange County on May 1st. We will have the opportunity to meet her at this meeting. \n\nThis month as part our ongoing Community Outreach efforts\, we’ll be collecting diapers\, diaper rash cream and baby wipes as part of United to End Homelessness and HomeAid’s local drive.  Bring your donations to our June meeting and we’ll make sure they are distributed to local families that are homeless or on the verge of homelessness.
