The impact of the stunning upset wins in Virginia and Alabama sent a clear message that Black women are the decisive voters in the Democratic Party.
The 2017 Women’s March was an unprecedented declaration and demonstration of the power of mobilized women. Women have formed new grassroots organizations, such as Indivisible Watu, and many became politically active for the first time. Perhaps the most significant outcome of this movement has been more women running for office, and as demonstrated in this November’s races, Women of Color running and winning.
We are energized by this development on a national level and seek to nurture it in our own region. Our mission is to support women in office, uplift women running for office and encourage more women to run for office in San Diego County.
Join us for the first Women of Color Roar Breakfast to kick off the 2018 election season.

*Data as of 2017.
Candidates for San Diego County District Attorney will be invited to speak and answer questions. The DA decides what, if any, charges to press against citizens, be they young black men or police officers. The DA has broad discretion to either increase the incarceration rate or unilaterally begin criminal justice reform. The choice in this case is between a career prosecutor and a career public defender. If you care about how crime (or non-crime) is punished, you care about this race in this election.
All Four Qualified Candidates running for San Diego’s 4th District City Council seat offers a variety of diverse viewpoints on how to improve the community. Gathering the qualified City Council candidates together for a power discussion on improving the community presents a rare opportunity for voters to gain clarity of each candidates’ campaign.
