All Hands on Deck
South San Francisco October 5th Canvassing Event, organized by SMC AAPI Alliance, SMC Labor Council, and many others
In these difficult times, it's more critical than ever to do what we can to strengthen the Democratic Party nationally, in California, and in our County. Action will improve our situation and stave off discouragement.
The most important thing to do right now is to support Prop 50. Texas has re-gerrymandered their state to secure five more Republican seats, followed by Missouri, and possibly North Carolina. Democratic states must do what they can can if we are to have any chance of taking back the House and blocking Trump's efforts to destroy our democracy. Unfortunately, we must temporarily re-gerrymandering California to make the number of members elected to the House more closely represent the number of Democrats in the country.
Democrats must vote for Prop 50 in large numbers and must encourage others to do so also through phone calls and canvassing. Our chartered Democratic Clubs and allies have stepped up to this challenge by hosting and attending canvassing events like the October 5th gathering in South San Francisco organized by San Mateo County Asian American Pacific Islander Alliance, San Mateo County Labor Council, and many other groups. You can find other opportunities here.
The 2026 elections are close at hand. SMCDems will work to achieve a Democratic majority in the House by manning Bay Area Coalition phone banks and canvassing events. We must also work to elect strong local Democratic candidates. We are beginning to recruit Democratic candidates and will again provide a series of trainings for new Democratic candidates. As always, we will endorse and support the strongest Democrats.
Please join us in doing this important work. We can save our democracy and become even stronger - if we work together, You will find volunteer opportunities here and SMCDems community opportunities here.
Please attend our November 2nd Fall Fundraiser. Buy tickets here.
Help me in inviting all local Democrats to join us in keeping San Mateo County BLUE!
Democratically Yours,
Karen Maki
Chair, SMCDems
