Just to make sure you mark your calendars, we are devoting our July 26 meeting to discussion and endorsement votes for the November State ballot propositions. You do not want to miss this meeting. — /KC
IMPORTANT REQUIREMENT FOR VOTING IN OUR ENDORSEMENTS
In order to vote on how the ECDC will endorse, you must be a member for 45 days prior to the endorsement election. We are trying to arrange to have our meeting to vte for our endorsements in local races (city council, school district, BART board, AC Transit board, etc.) on August 27. If we can secure a location, then in order to vote, you must be a member by July 13.
If we are unable to arrange for a location on that date, we may have to have the endorsement vote prior to August 27. Which will push back the date for joining!
But you can be sure – just pay your dues by June 30!
(Remember, only registered Democrats or individuals who will be 18 or naturalized by November 8, 2016 and pledge to register as Democrats are eligible to join and vote in the ECDC!)
From the President’s Laptop: JUNE MEETING PREVIEW
This month’s meeting will be on Tuesday, June 28.
In even numbered years – when our September meeting focuses on our precinct walks – we have our education focused meeting in June. We have two presenters:
Dr. Chela Delgado is a teacher of color in an Oakland high school, and an Oakland schools grad and parent. She did her graduate research on the ways in which education reformers, and charter advocates specifically, have used racial inequity to push a privatization agenda.
We will also hear from ECDC member Madeline Kronenberg who is a current member of the WCCUSD board. She will present on the current state of West County’s public education system.

President, ECDC
