Calladitas no more! Let’s talk about politics so we can make an impact in 2020!

My family were my first political teachers, even though they didn’t know they were. How they talked about our government, our laws, even their paychecks, all influenced my thoughts around politics. As I got older, I started to form my own opinions. Then I had additional influences like friends and co-workers. I politely listened and often didn’t ask questions. I really didn’t know how to have a conversation about political issues. When I started to visit organizations, I learned how to ask questions, give my opinion, and discuss topics.

Here are a few groups that help us make sense of political issues.
- Faith In The Valley
- League of Women Voters
- Stockton Younger Women’s Task Force
- SEIU-UHW
