Local Actions,

CADEM Convention

 

The May 7, 2025, SMCDFA meeting will combine discussion on what is happening locally, as well as what is happening on the larger state and national levels.

Join SMCDFA at local May Day events! 

On the local level, Diana Reddy will start us off with the new Redwood City SURJ - Showing Up for Racial Justice - which are leading a protest every Friday night.

Marshall Dinowitz (Midpen Indivisible) and Bill Newell (Indivisible Portola Valley) will report on local Chapter activity. Nancy Raabe will follow with information on the new Indivisible Truth Brigade.

Ashleigh Evans has a wealth of information on CADEM Convention activities. The 2025 CADEM Convention is scheduled for May 30-June 1, 2025 in Anaheim.
