Today I am kicking off another one of my many Southern California tours, and I want to share my event schedule with you for the next week. I love these tours because I get to meet so many wonderful activists and leaders, and discuss our vision for a California that puts people before profits. Those conversations give me the energy and hope to keep pressing forward, and show me just how many Californians are ready for a corporate-free revolution in 2018!
To start this tour, today I will be joining the amazing organizers at DSA – LA, who are hosting a barnstorm to recruit for our signature drive and help mobilize people behind our campaign. Our event will run from 2 – 4, and is at the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles. We will discuss the importance of organizing to win and rally to close out this first phase of our campaign strong by collecting 20,000 signatures in total, in the next week!
Bring a friend or family member and let’s talk revolution! Use the following link to see more details and join us this afternoon:
On Tuesday, Jan. 16th, I will be speaking at a Pomona DSA meeting and discussing the Richmond Progressive Alliance model, and why our campaign believes in building a statewide network of progressive alliances is the only way that real change can be brought to California. The meeting will start at 7pm and will be in the basement of Unity Church in Ponoma, 524 E. Pasadena St. If you in the area stop by!
On Wednesday, Jan. 17th, I will be attending a congressional candidate forum hosted by Our Revolution Long Beach as a guest speaker, where I will be stressing the importance of supporting corporate-free campaigns. I am excited to learn more about their candidates down there, and meet with many of the wonderful activists at OR Long Beach who make up one of the 30 OR chapter endorsements my campaign has currently. The event starts at 7pm and all the details can be found in the link below. If you want to learn more about the candidates in your area and help flip these crucial districts, I highly encourage you join us!

On Thursday, Jan. 18th, an amazing supporter and friend, Virginia Tibbetts, is opening up her home for a house party. House parties are a great opportunity to discuss my campaign’s vision for California, meet with folks who have the same priorities and raise some money to keep us going. The party will run from 6pm-9pm at Virginia’s home in Tustin. Join us on Thursday evening, and let’s talk about the real changes that the 99% desperately need in California!

Next, on Friday, Jan. 19th, I was invited to speak at the South Bay People Alliance’s first South Bay Non-Corporate Candidate Forum! Join myself and other corporate-free candidates for state and federal office, including David Hildebrand for U.S. Senate as we discuss our visions for a Sacramento and D.C. free of corporate control! I have to say, I love the focus that the South Bay People Alliance has put on non-corporate candidates for this event, because as we all know, corporate values are not human values. The forum will start at 6pm and I hope to see you there, use the following link to RSVP!

Lastly, to close out this tour, I will be joining our dedicated signature gatherers with Our Revolution North County San Diego to gather signatures at the Women’s March in San Marcos! Our goal is to collect over a thousand signatures at this event, and we are trying to recruit 20 volunteers to help us get there. If you were already planning on attending this march, please join us for 3 hours so we can get this corporate-free campaign on the ballot! Sign up for a shift using the following link:
