We don't just want you to join and support ADA SoCal. We want you to get involved with the work we're doing.
You don't have to be a board member of ADA SoCal to serve on a committee. Any member of Americans for Democratic Action can serve. Through our committees, we're doing some of our most important work.
Here are our Issue Committees:
• The Environment (Fracking, dismantling Nuclear power plants, water and drought, global warming)
• Education (focused on funding and revisiting Prop. 13 to make it a split roll system in terms of commercial real estate, standing up to Charter Schools).
• Peace (Supporting the Nuclear Disarmament, Opposing drone strikes and Preventing the US from getting further mired in war)
• Justice (this includes Police Brutality, standing up for Undocumented Immigrants, standing with Muslim Americans against bigotry)
• Healthcare (Single-Payer Healthcare, Prescription drug prices)
Pick the issue that you care most about and join us to educate and work on moving it forward!
We also have organizational committees, which allow us to focus our action. The Endorsement Committee works on elections, candidates and ballot measures. We just started a Social Media Committee to help get the word out. We are also looking to start Membership and Event Committees to round out the functional aspects of our Americans for Democratic Action chapter.
Meetings are open to the public. We encourage you to join ADA and support the work we're doing! [Donate]
