Action Alert: Tell the County About Your Community!

Action Alert!
Tell the County Board of Supervisors to respect the voting rights of Latinos in North County!
Advocate for your community of interest in mid-city/District 4!
The County Board has decided to redraw their redistricting map to account for the voting rights of Latinos and African-Americans in the First District in South County. The Board, however, does not seem interested in making changes to other districts as mapped in its original plan.
Unless we speak up, Escondido will continue to be split off from the rest of the Hwy 78 corridor and remain in District 3 with more affluent communities to the South and West with which it has little in common. One of the many negative results of this split is the fracturing of Latino voting power in North County.
In addition, La Jolla is poised to be moved into District 4 with Mid-City communities, and Lemon Grove and Spring Valley will be in District 2, divided from similar communities of interest.
Please email or send a letter to each of the Supervisors today to ask them to:
1) unite the Hwy 78 corridor communities of Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos, and Escondido; and/or
2) unite Lemon Grove and Spring Valley with similar communities of interest in District 4.
You can start with these sample letters: (Mid-City/District 4 Letter; North County Letter), using one or more of the sample sentences and adding your own personal knowledge of these communities. We want to avoid form letters.
Where to send letters:
District 1, Greg Cox: greg.cox@sdcounty.ca.gov
District 2, Dianne Jacob: dianne.jacob@sdcounty.ca.gov
District 3, Pam Slater-Price: pam.slater@sdcounty.ca.gov
District 4, Ron Roberts: ron-roberts@sdcounty.ca.gov
District 5, Bill Horn: bill.horn@sdcounty.ca.
