CA Prop 50 and Santa Clara County Measure A
2025-09-17 19:00 - 20:00 | Online
Join the Democratic Volunteer Center and the Peninsula Democratic Coalition to learn about California Proposition 50 and Santa Clara County Measure A, which will appear on the November 4 ballot. Assemblymember Marc Berman will talk about Prop 50, the Election Rigging Response Act, and how it helps us fight back against MAGA gerrymandering in other states. Santa Clara County Supervisor Susan Ellenberg will describe Measure A, which will help offset the drastic federal funding cuts that affect our healthcare and safety-net services. Submit any questions you have when you register or during the live webinar.

Save 3 supreme court seats in PA
2025-09-30 19:00 - 20:00 | Online
Join Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice David Wecht, together with PA Democratic Party executive director Mitch Kates and field director Kait Ahern, to learn about a November 4 election that will have major consequences for the 2026 and 2028 races in this crucial swing state.

Three Democratic judges are on the ballot; voters will vote “yes” or “no” on retaining them on the court. The right wing is pouring money into this race to flip the seat, and many Democrats do not realize how important this election is. A MAGA state supreme court could greenlight a gerrymander of blue House seats into red ones and make sure there is no judicial oversight to challenge Republican election-rigging schemes in 2026 or 2028.

This online event, brought to you by the Peninsula Democratic Coalition and the Democratic Volunteer Center, will provide an overview of the race and opportunities to support the candidates.

Measure A & Santa Clara County Healthcare
2025-10-12 11:00 - 12:00 | First Congregational Church of Palo Alto, 1985 Louis Rd., Palo Alto, CA, 94303, United States
Join Santa Clara County executive James R. Williams for an in-person talk about the exceptional value of the unique Santa Clara County healthcare system and the crisis the county faces because of federal funding cuts. The county and community have responded to the crisis by putting Measure A on the November 4 ballot. Measure A would enact a 5/8-cent sales tax that would be in place for five years to help mitigate the damage the federal budget cuts have created. Whether you have insurance or not, you will be affected by these cuts if you live in Santa Clara County: lack of access to services, longer wait times, reduced emergency care.
