Change begins here
But not without your help
Our organization is comprised entirely of dedicated volunteers, and while our passion drives us, the success of our candidates and the sustainability of our central committee rely significantly on financial support from individuals like you. Your donations will not only help us support Democratic candidates, but they will also ensure that we can keep our central committee running effectively, allowing us to organize more events that foster community engagement and participation. Every contribution, no matter the amount, is vital in assisting our central committee and empowering candidates as they pursue public office in our community.
At a time when the integrity of our democracy is at stake, it is crucial that we come together to back local Democratic candidates and their initiatives while strengthening our committee's ability to serve the community. We invite you to contribute what you can—whether it be five dollars or five thousand dollars. Together, we can make a difference and strengthen our democratic values and community ties.
Thank you for your support and commitment to our shared cause.

UPCOMING PROTESTS, RALLIES AND DEMONSTRATIONS
Community Action Alert - Speakers Needed at Bakersfield City Council Meeting
Please join us this Wednesday, February 11, at 5:15 PM at City Council Chambers to give public comment in response to Councilmember Bashirtash’s dehumanizing remarks about the unhoused population.
If you can attend in person, we encourage you to show up and speak.
Here are talking points you can use:
-
You were elected to govern, not to complain or dehumanize those experiencing homelessness.
-
Criminalizing homelessness is costly and ineffective, jail is not a solution.
-
Simply “locking people up” does not reduce homelessness or improve public safety.
-
We need more shelter and bed capacity, not punishment without real alternatives.
-
The City must take responsibility for failing to adequately address homelessness with meaningful resources and long-term solutions.
-
Dehumanizing language from elected officials causes real harm and undermines trust, dignity, and effective policymaking.
-
Our leaders should speak — and act — with compassion, accountability, and respect.
-
You were elected to govern, it’s time to deliver real solutions.
Your comment can help push the City toward solutions that actually work.
📅 Date: Wednesday, February 11, 2026
📍 Location: City Hall South (1501 Truxtun Avenue)
🕚 Doors Open: 5:15 p.m.
You will need to go to the podium and fill out a speaker card with the City Clerk upon arriving.
