Beary Happy

Our MBDC member went to a protest in February in Los Angeles fighting for the rights of brown people. Their mom is an immigrant so this made them really mad. When the administration started ending DACA, they had to speak out, especially since they were born in California.

“Rise, Brown Souls”
In streets of fire, where justice calls
Brown bodies gather, standing tall
Their voices echo, a chorus so grand
Demanding freedom, in this promised land
From ancestors’ struggles to present-day strife
The fight for equality, a constant, burning life
Against systemic chains, they raise their fists
Refusing to be silenced, their spirits persist In every corner, a story unfolds
Of resilience, courage, and hearts that never grow old
From farmworkers’ fields to city streets so wide
Brown people unite, side by side
Their protest is a symphony, a rhythm so bold
A cry for human rights, a story to be told
Of freedom, justice, and equality for all
A dream that’s yet to come, but will not fall
So let their voices be heard, their message clear
For brown people’s freedom, they will persevere
Through every struggle, every tear, every scar
They’ll rise, united, near and far.
– Eva Barrios, MBDC Member and native Californian

Mountain Bears Democratic Club’s**** March Madness meeting was just that MADNESS! Not only did we get to hear all about our members experiences at protests and events …but we also got a great presentation from Seta Ghazarian (CA Democratic Party Region 11 Director)  and an enthusiastic touch base with Derek Marshall (Planning Commissioner and Executive Director, City of Victorville).

A great success!

Mountains Bears join democrats from the 42nd Congressional District for an open house where Robert Garcia met w constituents, engaged openly with voters, and fielded questions. Keep fighting the good fight, Representative Garcia, and know that we are with you!

Great turnout at our March Potluck! Engagement is up; momentum is ongoing; action is next!

News Editor,

Writing in response to Karen Zhou’s discourse request… In relation to the executive order for the elimination of USDA food safety committees, including the National Advisory Committees on Microbiological Criteria for Foods (NACMCF) and the National Advisory Committee on Meat and Poultry Inspection (NACMPI.) The data collected by these committees is directly applicable to the study of H5 bird flu, which has escalated to tens of millions of egg-laying chickens dying at farms all around the country. This is just a small portion of why these committees were established. If allowed to continue research in confluence with the CDC, instead of eliminating these committees altogether, there would be no need for the next executive order: an investigation into high egg costs. Ms. Zhou stated that the Justice Department has opened an investigation into what might be causing the increase in egg prices, and whether top producers have conspired to increase them. The cost of eggs is in direct relation to the availability of egg-laying chickens. We are in the midst of one of the worst bird flu outbreaks in recent history. Opening an official investigation into egg costs in the face of glaring evidence is superfluous. Why eliminate a committee that exists to help find a way to solve this egg conundrum? The “conspiracy” is obvious. It’s the same old game of “look over here” while doing tenebrous things over there… in hopes that American citizens aren’t fast enough to track which cup the ball is under.

Who knows if they’ll print it… I hope so but I have found this particular newspaper to be quite biased.

Looking forward to attending the next meeting and introducing myself. Thanks for allowing me to be a part!
