February Mtg

Due to the recent surge of COVID infections we will be meeting only on Zoom this month.

Redistricting: Federal, State, and Local Outlook

Do you know who your legislator will be with the redistricting? Your representative in the House of Representatives, State Senate and Assembly, Board of Supervisors, and City Council? The lines have changed and led to a lot of confusion.

Attend the February Fresno Stonewall Meeting as Michael D. Evans, current chair of the Central California Coalition for Equitable Realignment (CCCFER), which monitored the redistricting process of legislative bodies in the Central Valley, explains the process and what to expect.

There will also be local candidates in attendance looking for your support!

Be prepared to ask questions about issues that are important to you! We have confirmed:

Esmeralda Soria, Fresno City Council Member and Candidate for State Assembly District 27

Laurin Hubbard, Candidate for Congressional District 22

Join us at this meeting to learn more about these candidates, be briefed on how the redistricting has changed things, and engage with other interested club members. Be more involved in your community and the election process this year.

Justin St. GeorgeGuest Speaker: Justin St. George recently established an off-campus organization to create a safe, inclusive, and discriminatory free environment for LGBTQ+ students and allied individuals through monthly meetings, community service, and educational symposiums. This was done after Fresno Pacific University denied his request to form a LGBTQ+ Pride Club on campus. He also created a faith-based coalition consisting of 17 Central Valley Christian leaders, securing meeting spaces for the group and a financial sponsor within days of fruition. More information is available on the Birds For Pride Instagram page.
