Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

Trump and Republican-led states are making an unprecedented power grab to steal congressional seats before voting even begins.

If Californians don’t act now, Donald Trump will seize total power for two more years.

Join the Grassroots Democrats to knock on doors and stop the Trump / MAGA agenda! Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections and passing Prop 50 is the best chance we have of taking back Congress next year!

Exciting, long-term benefits of the Olympics might very well be climate and lifestyle benefits to the city, and by example, the country! More green space and fossil fuel-free transportation being built on deadline for 2028 will create a sustainable, car-free city precedent!
