JOIN US IN OUR FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY
Who We Are
We are a coalition of individuals and pro-democracy organizations dedicated to resisting the current administration’s policies through strategic direct action. Based in Monterey County, we serve as a hub for both local and virtual activism, empowering our community to take a stand for democratic values.
Our Mission
Our goal is to amplify the reach of grassroots events and provide citizens with the tools to resist regressive decisions. Whether in person or online, we mobilize to ensure our collective voice is heard.
Our Commitment to Nonviolence
To maintain the integrity and safety of our movement, all members and participants adhere to a strict code of conduct:
Nonviolent Resistance: We believe that lasting change is built through peace. Violence is never the solution.
De-escalation: We act lawfully and strive to de-escalate potential confrontations with those who oppose our values.
Weapon-Free Events: To ensure a safe environment for all, weapons of any kind—including those legally permitted—are strictly prohibited at our events.
TODAY'S ACTIONS
Renters – Get Out The Vote
Many homeowners vote. Few renters vote. This campaign is to encourage renters to vote. Expand democracy. Expand participation.
This pilot project will contact infrequent renter voters and encourage them to use mail-in ballots to vote in the June 2 Primary Election. Easy, simple, free. LWVMC supports this effort. The pilot project is to contact a sampling of renters in three cities — Salinas, Marina and Monterey.
The project intends to track responses after the election, and compare it to a control group of registered infrequent voters from the same apartment complexes. If we learn much, there might be another campaign for infrequent renter voters for the November General Election.
It is a postcard campaign. Volunteers are needed to send them.
To Do: Come to the at Peoples Center for Progressive Change (formerly C4C) starting Tuesday April 7, from 1 to 4pm, for nine straight Tuesdays, April 7 through May 19. I’ll provide postcards, message labels, voters and stamps. Including a short Spanish language label for Salinas. $20 for 25 card packs. $5 w/o stamps.
