Out and About in the Community

League members have been out and about at Los Medanos College (LMC) and at St. Mary’s College during the past month.

LMC celebrated Women’s History Month, so our suffragist mannequin Ruth Ann was on the campus as part of the festivities and as a representative of the  history of women’s long fight to win the right to vote. League members talked to numerous young people about the upcoming June 2 Primary, VOTE411, the change in the Post Office rules and the importance of voting for local races and issues in the primary.

Ruth Ann also made the journey to St. Mary’s College for the Safe Spring Break Fair. Several young people registered to vote and learned about the importance of voting in the June Primary. It was a beautiful day to be on the campus chatting with young people. The League will be returning to St. Mary’s on April 20 for tabling at Denim Day.

Voter Services Co-Chair Ana Pan facilitated another voter registration Zoom training for new members interested in tabling at the Food Bank.  Additionally, Voter Services held an evening Moderator Training at the Walnut Creek Library as part of preparing for the upcoming candidate forums. The first forum is happening on April 30 for Superior Court Judge, Position Q.  A big thank you to Ann Flynn, one of the LWVDV’s most experienced and seasoned moderators, for being the trainer. Great job, everyone for all of your good questions. Thank you for your enthusiasm.

Staying Informed on Everything About Voting
The Brennan Center for Justice is a good, reputable site to follow. Michael Waldman does a nice job helping readers to understand the connection between the unconstitutional war the U.S. is carrying out in Iran and the upcoming elections.  Take a moment to read about this important issue.
