Support Paloma Aguirre for County Supervisor

Our County Board of Supervisors is now deadlocked between Republicans and Democrats. Whoever wins this year's special election for an open supervisorial seat will determine whether the nation's fifth-largest county will tilt toward MAGA or push back, on policies ranging from civil rights and immigration to climate action and healthcare. The San Diego County Democratic Party has endorsed Imperial Beach Mayor Paloma Aguirre in the April 8 election for District 1. You sign up to volunteer at sddems.link/action, or click here for details about the special election.

Attend a Local Action, Protest or Event

Democratic-aligned protests, rallies, and similar events in San Diego County are organized on an ongoing basis -- initiated sometimes by a national effort, but often by grassroots groups taking action in their own communities. Several local groups maintain calendars tracking the events they're aware of, including Swing Left, Indivisible, The Jumping Off Place, Change Begins With Me, and Axios San Diego. You can check those links regularly for updates. The San Diego County Democratic Party's calendar here includes details on upcoming Democratic Club and Party business meetings.
