A Big Beautiful Blue Wave Tuesday, Nov 4th!

What a great election for Democrats last Tuesday!  With big wins in governor races (VA and NJ), the NY mayor race and, of course, Proposition 50 - the Democrats won big up and down the ballot in this off year election.  Such a relief to see that so many Americans are fighting back with their votes.  (For more information on the election, you can view Ballotpedia - Election Results 2025 or NPR's article Democrats' 2025 election wins go beyond big races to places like Georgia, Pennsylvania)

For the passage of Prop 50, thanks to all of you who knocked on doors, held banners on I-5, carried signs at the protests, made phone calls, encouraged friends and family to vote, and voted Yes.  The measure passed with a resounding 64% Yes statewide!  (Although the measure lost in Siskiyou County, we did have a good turnout for Siskiyou Democrats in an off-year election with 49% returning ballots compared to 42% of the Siskiyou Republicans.)  For complete Prop 50 results by county, visit the CA Secretary of State's Election Results 2025.

In Siskiyou County, this election means that beginning in January 2027, we will be part of Congressional District 2, which has a Democratic majority and is represented by Jared Huffman who is in his 7th term of office.  The new district adds Modoc, Siskiyou and Shasta Counties to his current district which includes Marin, Sonoma, Mendocino, Humboldt, Trinity, and Del Norte counties.  For more information about Congressman Huffman, you can visit his website: Rep. Jared Huffman. (The new map for Congressional districts in California is included at the end of this email.)

Another BANNER Event

 

The Siskiyou Resistance Coalition is continuing to be active!  Here is their message on the upcoming Veterans Day Banners on I-5:

The Two Week Plan

After Veteran's Day, the Siskiyou Resistance Coalition will shift to "winter mode". Time for everyone to get some rest and recharge for 2026.  We'll still gather every 2 weeks for "pop-up visibility events" in Yreka and Mt Shasta (Dunsmuir will probably continue doing bridge bannering, too). No RSVPs, just every 2 weeks like clockwork through January.  For more information, send an email to ca01indivisible@gmail.com

Saturday, November 22, 11 am to 1 pm
Mt Shasta -  City Hall corners
Yreka -  810 Main St.
