Welcome! JOIN or RENEW

Dear Neighbors, Friends & Fellow Democrats,

While we are disturbed by the number of Americans who decided to cast their votes for President-elect Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris this year, we remain encouraged by the enthusiasm and hard work performed by dedicated volunteers within our Malibu community and across the nation to help elect Democrats. The fight continues onward, and we are prepared to do our part to defend the inhabitants, institutions, and interests of the United States and our allies abroad.

This election cycle, over one hundred volunteers from Malibu hand-wrote over ten thousand postcards, called hundreds of thousands of voters, canvassed across neighboring battleground congressional districts and swing states to knock on many additional thousands of doors, and helped raise over one million dollars for Democratic candidates. Additionally, Malibu Democrats spent hundreds of hours speaking directly with voters and distributing voter registration forms and election information on Sundays at the Malibu Farmers Market.

Congratulations to Malibu’s U.S. Representative Brad Sherman (CA-32), California State Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin (AD-42), our newly-elected U.S. Senator Adam Schiff, Congressmember-elect George Whitesides (CA-27), and all other victorious candidates who voters entrusted with the great responsibility of representing our shared values and accomplishing our common goals. We look forward to continuing to work with Sen. Schiff, Rep. Sherman, Asm. Irwin, and our other elected officials to address ongoing local issues such as improving PCH and public safety, strengthening fire prevention and response, and protecting our environment and open spaces.

Locally, while county election officials will continue to count votes until the end of the month, Bruce Silverstein, Steve Uhring, and Haylynn Conrad currently lead the field of Malibu City Council candidates. We thank each of the candidates who participated in our Malibu Democratic Club forum in October, congratulate the to-be-certified winners, and trust that they will each do their best to serve Malibu. We also congratulate the committee supporting our local school facilities bond, Measure MM, which appears to have passed.

We extend our gratitude to President Joe Biden, California’s own Vice President Kamala Harris, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and all of the Democratic candidates and grassroots volunteers across the country for their service and commitment to defending democracy. Faced against candidates promoting hate, division, and falsehoods, history will remember that Democrats stood on the side of justice, unity, and truth.

We especially thank our partners at Grassroots Democrats HQ and Westside Democratic HQ for all of the incredible work that they do, and for consistently supporting our volunteer efforts in Malibu.

If you are feeling afraid or vulnerable in the aftermath of this election for any reason, please know that we at the Malibu Democratic Club are here to foster community, support those at risk and in need, and provide information on other helpful resources and organizations.

We will continue to host monthly Board meetings and organize regular events throughout non-election years, and invite you to join the club or renew your annual membership to support our ongoing efforts to be of service while fighting to protect our democracy, our rights, and our freedoms. We will soon resume our monthly hikes and gatherings to more closely unite our Malibu Democratic community, and continue to send out periodic email updates highlighting upcoming events and other useful information.

We wish you joy over the final months of 2024 and during whichever holidays you choose to observe and celebrate.

In solidarity & with gratitude,

Gina Muscatel, Co-President, Malibu Democratic Club

Hap Henry, Co-President, Malibu Democratic Club

Marilyn Green, Volunteer Chair, Malibu Democratic Club

CADEM Coordinated Campaign Kick-Off @ CADEM Coordinated Campaign HQ
Feb 1 @ 9:00 am – 1:00 pm
You are cordially invited to
the California Democratic Party’s Coordinated Campaign
LA County Headquarters Kick-Off Event
Saturday, Feb. 1,  9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., at
1529 E. Palmdale Avenue in Palmdale CA 93550.
The event will feature
Rusty Hicks
California Democratic Party State Chair 
 Christy Smith (for CA-25), Congressional Candidate, and Current California Assembly Member for the area.
Other Special Guests.
 
 Don’t miss out on this opportunity to 
HELP KEEP CA-25 BLUE.
On March 3, CA-25 residents have to vote in 2 elections for the same seat: (1) March 3 is the Special Election to decide who will replace Katie Hill for Congressional District CA-25, for the remainder of her term (the 116th US Congress), which ends on Jan. 3, 2021.  and (2) March 3 is the Primary Election, when the voters will select the top 2 contenders to run for the seat in the General Election on November 3, 2020 – i.e., who will hold CA-25 seat in the 117th US Congress, from Jan. 3, 2021 – Jan. 3, 2023.  Whoever wins the CA-25 seat on March 3, will become the incumbent and will have a tremendous advantage in keeping the seat on November 3.  The Republican front-runner is Steve Knight, who held the CA-25 seat until Katie Hill unseated him 2018.  The Republicans will be fighting hard to re-take CA-25.  
So the March 3 Election is CRITICAL to keeping CA-25 Blue.  YET, WITH THIS EARLY PRIMARY, THERE IS PRECIOUS  LITTLE TIME TO INTRODUCE THE CANDIDATES TO THE VOTERS, GET  VOTERS REGISTERED, HELP VOTERS UNDERSTAND THAT THEY NEED TO VOTE FOR THE SAME CANDIDATE IN 2 DIFFERENT RACES ON THE MARCH 3 BALLOT, AND GET VOTERS TO VOTE.
 
This is a free event and open to all who support Democratic candidates running in 2020.
 
Coffee, a light breakfast and lunch will be served.
How to Get There: You can meet at 1529 E. Palmdale Ave at 9 am., or take a van with other Democrats, from Santa Monica (meet at 7:15 am at the Expo Line on 17th St), or Culver City (meet at 7:35 am, at The Peace Center, 3916 Sepulveda Blvd, Culver City, CA ).  To take the van, you need to sign up: Register For the Van Here.
Volunteer Sign Up:  You can just show up on Feb. 1.  However, if you know in advance you will be there, it helps the CADEM Coordinated Campaign have an idea of how many volunteers they will have.  To sign up in advance, Click Here.
