Last Thursday evening was a very busy time at the Educational Cultural Complex (ECC). The ACLU Foundation of San Diego and Imperial Counties, joined by the Chicano Federation, the Urban League of San Diego County, the NAACP San Diego Branch, San Diego Organizing Project (SOP), BAPACSD Foundation, and a few other organizations, joined together to hold a discussion on 2024 Ballots and State Propositions. With an impressive panel of local well-known individuals that included Norma Chavez-Peterson, Attorney Doug Oden, Dr. Kadi Webb, and Attorney Lei-Chala Wilson, moderated by Cheryl Aletha Phelps.
The event provided an outstanding dinner meal and opportunity to network, as well as a number of voter registration options provided by different organizations. The event was held in the main lobby area of ECC since the auditorium is undergoing renovations. A crowd of about 85 people were in attendance from a cross-section of the community and the event was a success by every measure. Copies of the Voice & Viewpoint newspaper with its list of Propositions providing Pros and Cons were made available to everyone entering the building and appeared to have been put to good use.
