Dear Friends,

 

We don't have to tell you about the troubling times we are living in as Republicans and the Trump Administration have cut thousands of federal jobs, passed a House budget that hands tax cuts to billionaires while threatening to defund Medicaid, pushed for voter suppression through the SAVE Act, and launched attacks on our communities.

We've heard from many in our community about the real fears and anxieties we are all feeling. We want to give you some hope about things that are happening and tell you what you can do next.

What can YOU do next?

✅A national 24 hour economic blackout is scheduled for TODAY, February 28. That means no spending on any non-essentials. See more here.

  • Republican lawmakers are facing large backlash during town halls and public speaking events.
  • National protests are occurring, such as those started by grassroots organizers 50501.

What are Democrats and Our Friends Doing Locally, Right Here in Placer County?

  • Placer Dems concurrently protested in Auburn, with a huge showing of support.
  • Placer Dems showed up at a Tesla dealership in Rocklin to protest Elon Musk's government interference. 

 Primarily organized by Indivisible Auburn, democrats and supporters of democracy showed up at the Auburn Historic Courthouse to protest the Trump-Musk agenda. Despite a few antagonizing attempts from MAGA, protesters remained peaceful with most of the community showing support. 

 
  • Placer Dems showed up at Rep. Kevin Kiley's office and demanded to speak to someone in Kiley's office. (No Kiley, of course)
  • Placer Dems hosted their various clubs and groups, continuing to coordinate efforts to fight back locally.
  • Placer Dems have organized multiple grassroots calling and emailing campaigns to Rep. Kiley's office on the various issues he is failing to address that directly hurt our District and County. 
  • Auburn Area Dems hosted an Immigration Panel to provide vital information to our community.

 Auburn Area Democratic Club organized an immigration panel discussion with local leaders, including NorCal Resist. It is vital that our immigrant community knows they are seen, heard, and supported. Telemundo 33 was also there to capture the conversation and share these important stories.

 

Representative Kevin Kiley was loudly booed amid a heated high-speed rail announcement. See the video here and article here.

 

We are stronger together. And together, we can make real change.

A Message From Our Chair

Placer County Democratic Central Committee

👋Before you go...👋

 

The Placer County Democratic Party is already mobilizing our efforts towards the upcoming 2026 elections in our County. There are many seats up for election locally that we can turn blue. This requires modest resources for holding events, creating content, and reaching Democratic candidates. If everyone who reads this email donates $26, we'd have more than enough to get it done.
