Please join us this Saturday, August 13, 2022, 7pm-8:30pm, live and in person (with plenty of room to practice social distance) at the Roosevelt Community Center, 901 E Santa Clara St, San Jose, CA, 95116, for a roundtable discussion on how “wedge issues” and fabricated “culture wars” are used to mobilize and manipulate voters.

The panel features Dr. Will Armaline, Director of the Human Rights Institute at San Jose State University, our own Director of Diversity and Inclusion and Gilroy City Council member Rebeca Armendariz, and Rev. Jeff Moore, Past President of the Silicon Valley NAACP.

Our democracy is under attack, and we hope this panel will inform and inspire you to fight back!

Regards, Bill James
Santa Clara County Democratic Party Chair
