Reparations + Marianne Williamson San Diego Town Hall & VIP Candidate Mixer @ Jacobs Center for Neighborhood Innovation
Apr 29 @ 4:30 pm – 8:30 pm

 


Quick… recall a time when you feel your voice was actually heard in San Diego among City officials and Candidates willing to Speak Truth to Power? (Crickets? We thought so.)

Join us for San Diego’s first diverse Town Hall with our special guest, Presidential candidate Marianne Williamson. San Diego Califia NOW President Michelle Price and prominent San Diego activists & community leaders will take your questions to these candidates seeking our votes in 2020.

We’re kicking off the event with a VIP Candidate Mixer at 4:45 PM.

The Main Event starts at 6:00 p.m. where we’ll welcome and introduce everyone to the story of Queen Calafia, where California actually got its name.

Helice Sparky Bridges will then lead us all in a short #BlueRibbon ceremony, right before our powerhouse panel, moderated by Michelle Price. Marianne Williamson for President 2020, Nora E Vargas, Tia Ross, and Helice Sparky Bridges will discuss the absolute necessity to focus on pouring love into ourselves to change the destiny and trajectory of future generations.

Finally, Marianne to share her original thinking on the necessity for America to make Reparations for enslaving African Americans for 400 years, a topic she’s been passionate about since 1997.

The Town Hall portion of the event is free to the public, but you must RSVP to ensure your seat. We ARE expecting a full house. Hope to see you there!

NOTE: None of candidates or speakers are endorsed by Califia NOW or CA NOW. The Town Hall is a non-partisan meeting.
