TX extreme mid-decade gerrymandering, and our own Prop 50 fight brought more attention to redistricting and its profound effect in democracy. 

The similar effort was stopped in VA by the state Superior Court.

Recent Supreme Court decision to gut section 2 of Voting Rights Act started new redistricting frenzy in Southern states. The state courts managed to stop further gerrymandering in Alabama and South Carolina at least for 2026 election.

When businesses in our community take steps to stand up against ICE, our immigrant neighbors are safer. It lets ICE know that we won’t allow them to continue their lawless raids. And it sends the message to everyone in our community that there is solidarity in resisting Trump’s authoritarian overreach. 

The Signs of Solidarity campaign was developed in consultation with experts at the National Immigration Law Center and United We Dream.

Please support the businesses who supports Immigrants.

On Sunday, February 8, Brian Copeland came to Livermore and performed his acclaimed show "Great American Sh*t Show." The show was funny and sad at the same time. He shared his life, experiencing racism growing up and today as a Black man. We laughed with our like minded friends, and yet it raised the big question, how can we come out better than before?

On Feb 27, our Climate Justice Workgroup tabled at the Wild & Scenic Film Festival on Tour, co-hosted by Tri Valley Conservancy and Tri Valley Air Quality Climate Alliance.

Thank you to our volunteers who tabled and to Malana and Greta for speaking on the panel about Make Polluters Pay and individual actions we can take to combat like Meatless Mondays and connecting with our local communities.
