To address the great need in San Diego for a broad-based grassroots organizing force to foster civic engagement and connect people to the local democratic process, members of Progressive San Diego have founded a 501(c)3 nonprofit, sister organization. The new organization has been named EMPOWER San Diego.
EMPOWER is an independent, nonprofit focused on educating the public about local policy and decision-making and creating venues that foster public dialogue, community input and civic participation.
Since its founding in 2008, EMPOWER has already had many accomplishments, including the hiring of two new staff people, the launching of EMPOWERStudents! and the co-hosting of several successful events.
Now, EMPOWER is embarking on its first-ever membership drive. As Progressive San Diego’s sister organization, we hope you will consider becoming a Charter Member of EMPOWER San Diego. Click here to join EMPOWER San Diego!
Is it time to rewrite California's Constitution?
In recent weeks, there has been much discussion all over the state suggesting that our state’s constitution is in need of serious overhaul. It is time to look at what can be done. Budget reform? Election rule changes?
Reining in initiatives? Re-thinking our legislature? San Diego Common Cause will have a panel of experts discuss whether our state's constitution needs to be amended, comprehensively revised, or completely rewritten through a constitutional convention. As California Common Cause begins to develop our position on this timely, controversial topic, we need to know what you think. Where: Mission Valley Library Community Room
2123 Fenton Parkway, San Diego, CA 92108
