Hello John!
Today, we are two days from one of the most consequential elections of our lifetimes. Though the electoral outcome is uncertain, the future is ours to write, and dignity is ours to claim. Claiming dignity is our call to action. It’s what motivated those who came before us — like Harriet, Susan, Suzan, Fred, Martin, and Cesar — and it will propel us forward in the days ahead.
We are facing unprecedented threats to our democracy, and Alliance San Diego is working with colleagues, partners, and allies to create the space for us to claim our dignity collectively. There are three inflection points ahead, and at each one, we invite you to stand with us as people of color, people of conscience, and people of culture to say proudly, We Are California!
*
November
6th
is
the
day
after
the
election
when
we
will
know
some,
but
not
all
outcomes.
Emotions
will
run
high,
and
Alliance
San
Diego
will
be
ready
to
make
meaning
of
the
results.
We
will
work
with
sister
organizations
to
meet
the
moment,
and
we
will
hold
a
community
meeting
on
Saturday,
November
16th.
*
December
6th
is
the
day
the
counties
in
California
send
their
election
results
to
the
legislature
to
certify
the
state
results.
This
will
be
a
moment
of
contention,
given
that
some
legislators
are
preparing
to
challenge
the
certification.
Alliance
San
Diego
will
work
in
coalition
and
in
community
to
ensure
that
our
election
laws
are
upheld.
*
January
6th
is
the
day
that
Congress
will
take
up
the
vote
to
certify
the
national
electoral
results.
We
know
what
happened
in
2020,
and
Alliance
San
Diego
will
prepare
our
communities
to
stand
in
dignity,
claim
our
dignity
and
protect
our
democracy
alongside
people
of
goodwill
who
are
committed
to
the
principles
of
nonviolence.
We at Alliance San Diego will monitor the spaces between these three inflection points to fulfill one unwavering mission: to build collective power to create a more inclusive, multiracial democracy. We anticipate a community full of emotion and in need of healing. We also anticipate the pressing need for clear plans for moving forward, and we’re here for all of it.
Today and every day, we invite you to collaborate with Alliance San Diego to cultivate a California where everyone belongs, everyone is safe, everyone can afford to live, everyone thrives, and everyone contributes their fair share. Together, we can push back on the bigots, bullies, billionaires, and big corporations that only care about themselves. With your help, we can build a democracy that protects dignity — a democracy that works for all of us! [[link removed]] Let's come together, California!
In solidarity,
