Fresno Stonewall Democrats will meet on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, at 5:30 PM, at Los Amigos Mexican Restaurant. We start with a thirty minute social so everyone has time to greet each other, exchange information or flyers, and order dinner and drinks before the meeting. We call to order at 6:00 PM, make introductions, and proceed with our agenda.
We are excited this month to have Fresno City Councilwoman Annalisa Perea in attendance to swear in our recently elected officers. Immediately following she will address the club on matters the City Council has been involved with.
Elisa Rivera is a candidate for CADEM Regional Director District 10. She is one of several candidates but the only one so far to request to speak to the club membership.
Peter Robertson with the Fresno State Alumni Association will also be speaking to our club about the annual Rainbow Graduation coming in May and how our club can help sponsor regalia for the students.
Members Artemes Gidram and Patty Cappelutti will also be addressing the club with reports on recent protests. Artemes attended EQCA’s Advocacy Day in Sacramento. This Saturday (has not happened yet at the time of this email) there will be a massive protest (details below), one of thousands across the country, and Patty will give a report on that.
Please join us Tuesday night at 5:30 PM for our March Monthly Meeting. The agenda and minutes will be available soon in the Google Drvie. You can access those files and Zoom info at https://bit.ly/fsd-mtgdocs
All Democrats are welcome to attend meetings regardless of membership status but we hope you’ll decide to join (only $20 per year) and participate in club meetings and activities, our endorsement process, and election of officers this upcoming January. New members must wait 28 days before they are eligible to vote on ANY club business.
