John,
Tonight, at 7 pm, we are organizing our most important endorsement meeting of the entire year. We will be looking at endorsing candidates running for public office across the East Bay, in the cities of Oakland, Berkeley, Emeryville, Alameda, and offices that span Alameda County.
What is particularly exciting about tonight’s meeting is how several of these candidates are current and former members of our organization, the East Bay Young Democrats.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided to take a new approach with our endorsement process this year. We asked candidates to send us written responses to our questionnaire and submit video responses as well. Please review the videos before our endorsement meeting tonight at 7 pm.
The following are the races we are planning to vote on tonight to round out our list of endorsements for November 3, 2020. Further below are the details for our Zoom meeting.

“You have to understand that people have to pay the price for peace. If you dare to struggle, you dare to win. If you dare not to struggle then god damn it, you don’t deserve to win. Let me say peace to you, if you’re willing to fight for it.”
