SUMMARY:May General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:May General Meeting – Tuesday\, 5/21\, Noon to 1:30pCalifornia Redistricting — The League of Women Voters at Work Join us for this important meeting on May 21\, 2024 from noon-1:30 p.m.\, via Zoom. Register at the link below.California Leagues are leading the fight for fair and transparent redistricting. With ‘At Large’ elections being increasingly replaced by district elections\, Leagues across the state have stepped up to ensure that redistricting is being done fairly and with transparency. Our League was deeply involved in the most recent redistricting of San Mateo County Supervisor districts. Last year\, at County League Day\, both Leagues adopted redistricting as an issue for emphasis\, in part because of the lessons learned from that experience.  Please join our meeting on May 21st to hear Helen Hutchison\, a past President of the League of Women Voters of California and its current Program Director. Helen will showcase the redistricting work the League has been doing at both state and local levels. Gain insights on driving effective change in San Mateo County.

SUMMARY:Housing Caucus
DESCRIPTION:Agenda for May 20th is in progress…  Recording of March 30 Meeting with Mike Callagy and Project HomekeyClick Here to Start the RecordingRecording of Feb 19th Meeting with Jenny MichelClick Here to Start the RecordingJenny is a commercial property manager at Cushman & Wakefield\, with over 20 years of experience in the local real estate industry. Her journey through homelessness in the early 2000s led her to envision and create for herself – and now assist others to create – a stable work environment where one job is enough and housing is a protected right\, like domestic water use. She works with local groups such as MPC Ready\, YIMBY Action\, Menlo Together\, and CERT with Menlo Park Fire. Most recently\, Jenny helped Menlo Park submit their 6th Housing Element. Jenny Michel is a native of Palo Alto and a resident of Menlo Park where she resides with her husband and young son.Q&A topics will include housing instability\, educating the community on homelessness\, and how to prepare if one finds themselves in unstable housing.  Watch the recording of our April 11 General Meeting\, Affordable Housing in San Mateo County: Behind the Numbers\, to better understand roadblocks and challenges cities in San Mateo County face as each seeks to meet their state-mandated affordable housing goals.

SUMMARY:The State of Local Journalism and Why We Should Care  (A Community Conversation)

Susan Hildreth\, League of Women Voters Diablo Valley will moderate. (Registration link – coming soon.) Information on how to access the Zoom webinar will be sent to your email address 24 hours before the program.  Audience questions will be collected and answered through the Zoom chat.Community Conversations are sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Diablo Valley\, the League of Women Voters of West Contra Costa County\, CCTV\, and the Contra Costa County Library.  The webinar will have simultaneous Spanish and American Sign Language  interpretation. The Library will provide closed captioning for this event.This program will be recorded and uploaded to the Library and LWVDV YouTube channels after the event.Contact programs@lwvdv.org for more information.

SUMMARY:LWVSC on Ali Velshi Show
DESCRIPTION: Banned Books and the Solano League of Women Voters MeetOn MSNBC’s Ali Velshi Show\, April 27\, 2024\, at 8:00 am Pacific On Saturday\, April 27\, 2024\, at 8:00 am Pacific Solano League members—local author\, Alice Fried and longtime Solano County educator\, Rami Muth—will join Ali Velshi on his MSNBC Saturday morning show to talk about how his podcast conversations with banned-book authors not only inform and impact personal growth and respect for humanity\, but also sustain and protect democracy. Empowering Voters and defending Democracy through education has been the mission of the League of Women Voters since its creation in 1920.  Each year the League of Women Voters in Solano County (LWVSC) accepts this challenge by offering programs and events that spread the League’s vision of a democracy where every person has the desire\, the right\, the confidence\, and most importantly\, the knowledge to participate. This year the Solano League (Benicia\, Dixon\, Fairfield\, Rio Vista\, Suisun City\, Vacaville\, and Vallejo) felt that residents should hear from each other about the importance of protecting the right to read and created Let’s Talk About Banned Books\, a 3-week Zoom discussion series inspired by the “Velshi Banned Books Club” podcast series.  “Our discussions on the “Velshi Banned Book Club” podcasts bring people together as neighbors so we can learn with and from each other how the freedom to read is critical to the health and survival of American freedom and the democracy we cherish\,” said Craig Paterson\, LWVSC Banned Book Discussion Series Creator and Coordinator. Click here for more information about the Solano League Banned Book discussions.  “Velshi Banned Books Club” Podcasts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xKenrW3Aic
