A Message from Our Chair |
|
Hi ,
Placer County’s delegates to the California Democratic Party’s convention in Anaheim have returned, and I can tell you that Democrats throughout California are fired up and organizing. I hope that you are fired up and ready too, because this is going to be a summer of resistance.
We must show Republicans that the American people will not sit by and remain silent as they perpetrate unprecedented chaos, corruption, and cruelty. We must show Kevin Kiley that there are consequences for voting to cut Medicaid. We must let Joe Patterson know that voting against protecting students from ICE raids is wrong. We must show our school boards that we see them when they continue to adopt policies to erase LGBTQ+ students.
I hope to see you out on street corners on June 14 for a national day of protest. And if that is not enough for you, the Placer County Democratic Party is offering a Democracy Workshop on June 18 to help you become a more effective activist. If you are still asking yourself “what can I do,” ask yourself “what do I want to do,” and then let us know. There are likely other Democrats in your community who want to do the same thing. We can support you and help you organize.
Don’t wait for those at the national or state level to tell you what to do, resistance and activism starts with you. This summer, let's make Republicans feel the heat.
We want to hear from you so please contact us at [email protected] or me at [email protected]. |

Reminder: A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. |

WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO |
|
California Democratic Convention |
|
The 2025 State Convention was this past weekend in Anaheim, CA. Delegates from our region attended the convention to elect new Party Officers and Regional Directors, welcome new delegates, and begin the hard work of organizing for 2026. |
|
Delegates from the Placer County region |
|
|
Gov. Tim Walz, Sen. Cory Booker, and other elected leaders made powerful speeches at the convention.
"Nobody votes for roadkill," Gov. Walz said. We need leaders who are willing to fight for us and that we trust. |

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT |

Hundreds packed a May 10th Roseville town hall organized by Placer County Democrats because Rep. Kevin Kiley refuses to meet with his district.
Meanwhile, Kiley voted for a House budget that threatens healthcare and food aid for millions. |
