On Election Day we turned out in record numbers to make our voices heard. Working class people of all races have spoken. The Trump campaign is continuing to try to stop our votes from being counted -- but no one messes with our city. Join us tomorrow down at the Convention Center for a Block Party for Democracy as we demand Trump respects the will of the people and make sure that our city is able to #CountEveryVote.
Join us in a joyous celebration for our city -- we’ll have dj’s, steppers, a drumline, puppets and food trucks.
Come join for the whole day or part of the day!

***REGISTER HERE: actionnetwork.org/events/election-2020-from-immobilization-to-civic-action
Election 2020 is less than a month away, and the stakes are higher than ever. But sometimes, high stakes events leave us feeling immobilized and fearful instead of active and engaged. This webinar will help you get unstuck and find your place in our fight for democracy.
We'll talk through the ways that white dominant culture impacts our ability to disrupt the status quo during election season and beyond, and we'll work toward undoing our feelings of immobilization and into action in these important final days of election 2020.

Residents in nursing homes and other care facilities have been cut off and isolated during the COVID-19 pandemic, and huge numbers have died. Residents must have the right to vote in this important upcoming election.
This event will provide information on the rights of people in long-term care facilities to get assistance with voting, along with guidance to facility staff, friends, family members, ombudsmen, county elections officials, and more, on what you can do to help.
A fact sheet on this issue is also available at www.sdaction.org.
