We need to encourage every Democrat  to vote and to support our Democratic-party endorsed candidate Mike Thompson  for our new congressional district. Democrats need to retake the House and Senate;  your volunteer effort can make a difference. We will have a quick training and then  go door-knocking. Sign up at mobilize.us/cadems/event/948704. Yuba County Democrats, we need your help! The Yuba County Democratic Central Committee is trying to show our communities that we do not all live in MAGA land.  It is often challenging here because when we put up signs to support Democratic leadership, they get stolen.  So we put up more signs.  That is why we are reaching out to you.   Our vision is to have Congressman Mike Thompson’s signs up and down highly trafficked areas.  We will provide the signs.  We are looking for visible, yet safe places to install them.  Would you be interested in displaying them somewhere along your street frontage? We have standard yard signs, 2’ x 6’ and 4’ x 8’ fence signs (or you can use posts to install). Please reach out to us if you are interested at yubadcc@gmail.com. Please provide your name, address, cell number, sign size and quantity.  We’ll contact you to arrange delivery. THANKS! $$$  Your Dollar, Your Voice   $$$ Democratic clubs across California are participating in the Democratic Economic Boycott, a coordinated effort to use consumer choices to hold powerful corporations accountable when their actions—or silence—enable policies that undermine democratic values and community trust. Boycott The Home Depot • Amazon • Tesla • X • Facebook! Why Home Depot is the current focus: Across California, immigration enforcement actions by ICE have increasingly taken place in parking lots outside Home Depot stores. These actions have raised serious concerns among civil rights organizations, community leaders, and local residents about excessive force, racial profiling, and the protection of basic constitutional rights. The boycott calls on Home Depot to publicly oppose enforcement raids conducted on or near its properties and to adopt policies discouraging the targeting of day laborers in store parking lots. What you can do: Reduce discretionary purchases at Home Depot stores. Support locally owned hardware stores or alternative retailers. Talk about the reasons for the boycott with friends, neighbors, and online networks. Write a letter to the editor for your local newspaper. Even small shifts in purchasing behavior can send a meaningful signal when thousands of people act together. Our economic choices are also a form of civic voice. From the California Democratic Party: Ballots start arriving in mailboxes next week. Have you made your voting plan yet?
