Dems for Equality Shows Our Pride

 Kick-off, Rally, Parade and Festival.  We Were Everywhere

 

 

San Diego Democrats for Equality kept our flag flying high throughout the long PRIDE weekend.  We started with our own Kick-off Reception which attracted a good crowd of members and friends as well as officeholders and dignitaries headlined by SDUSD Board President Kevin Beiser and City Council President Todd Gloria. And the food...Once again Great Maple outdid themselves with a spectacular selection of appetizers in a wonderfully Pride festooned venue.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Spirit of Stonewall Rally and Flag Raising was well attended by Club members and featured Club member speakers including Speaker Toni Atkins and Council President Todd Gloria. 

 

We had a prime location at the Festival to register voters and provide candidate information to attendees. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our large Parade contingent included not only Club members but representatives of the County Democratic Party - including County Party Chair, Francine Busby - several other Democratic Clubs, and contingents from both Council candidate Carol Kim and candidate for reelection to the School Board, Kevin Beiser.

Club Seeking Two Additional Board Members

 

 

Dems for Equality adopted a By-Laws change that called for two "at-large" Board members.  Board members must be members in good standing of San Diego Dems for Equality.  At-large Board members are expected to attend monthly and specially called Board meetings, as well as manage special projects as requested by the Board.

 

If you are interested in election to the Board, contact us HERE.
