Last week, San Diego BAPAC held a very important meeting billed as “A Call To Action” on the number of issues facing all of us with the many actions of the Trump Administration. It was encouraging, but not surprising to have our own California Secretary of State, Assembly Member, a Member of Congress and representatives from the Board of Supervisors and City Council present to talk about the issues facing us and the need to plan a course of action. All of this was in line with the editorial positions this paper has taken since the inauguration of Trump calling for “A Response From Us To Project 2025”.
It is important to point out that the Black Press and the San Diego Voice & Viewpoint, is actively engaged in making sure that you, our community, are kept informed of resources and solutions for addressing the crisis before us.
First, our newspapers and media outlets nationwide are engaged in supporting the national Selective Buying Campaign (SBC) now underway against Target, which so far, has lost over 15 billion dollars in revenue since this 40-day fast against that chain started as of February 28th.
Second, in addition to sharing the national articles on this effort, we have provided a list of those companies that have canceled their DEI commitments and related actions affecting people of color.
And Third, we have provided a list of the names and phone numbers of all elected officials that each of us should be in touch with concerning all the issues impacting both us and our communities. We invite you to share your views and comments with us so that we may put them online. We shall endeavor to be a part of all the discussions that follow.
