**It's time to talk to voters in CD22!** Let's build the grassroots power Democrats need to win in 2026 and to defend democracy long term. Join us in going door-to-door talking to voters. We'll employ **deep canvassing techniques** such as active listening to open our 2026 voter conversations and learn which issues are important to them. **$100 stipend** a day available to offset the cost of gas and lodging. - Friday, April 10 | 3:00 to 6:30 pm - Saturday, April 11 | 9:00 am to 6:30 pm - Sunday, April 12 | 9:00 am to 1:00 pm Once you've signed up, a Bay Area Coalition volunteer will contact you and help with carpools and/or housing options. They will also give you details about the meeting location and names of people running the event. No experience is necessary. When you arrive at the staging location you will be trained and given all the supplies you need. We'll have clipboards, forms, pens, snacks and water. Bring your personal items like comfy shoes, sunscreen, a hat, and a smile. We will be using PDI and so a well-powered smartphone is necessary. RSVP today and invite a friend to join us! After your canvass days, join us for Friday and Saturday shared dinner conversations with local speakers: - Issues and challenges facing **rural communities** in the district - Challenges of the **urban Fresno community** versus the more political influential north.

We're fighting back against the GOP and Trump. Here's the latest.
A Judge blocks Trump's cuts to NPR and PBS. https://apnews.com/article/trump-npr-pbs-funding-executive-order-fbd9500e5f7400deab84ead188c35694

A federal judge has agreed to permanently block the Trump administration from implementing a presidential directive to end federal funding for National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service. The two are media entities that the White House has said are counterproductive to American priorities. U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss cited the First Amendment in his decision. The impact was not immediately clear — both because it will likely be appealed and because too much damage to the public-broadcasting system has already been done, both by the president and Congress.
Donald Trump is a loser, and he and the GOP can't escape his failures. How are they messing up right now?
The GOP College Republicans new leader is a bigot, so they're staying on brand. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/30/kai-schwemmer-college-republicans-livestream
Republicans want to kick people off of health care to fund Trump's Operation Epstein Fury in Iran. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/republicans-health-care-cuts-fund-iran-war-1235538768/

Polling and name recognition be damned, I'm leaning toward Xavier Becerra in California's gubernatorial primary.
He knows the machinery, has served as State AG and US Secretary of HHS, isn't a billionaire, hasn't cozied up to Big Tech, and doesn't have any scandals around being abusive toward his reports.
