Poem from MBDC member protesting!

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

Mickey Laws Service Award


A special Recognition for Service was awarded to Mickey Laws. Mickey has been a member of the Mountain Bears Democratic Club since 2008 where their little group would meet in front of the fireplace at the Arrowhead Resort. In her tenure with the MBDC, she has worked diligently to grow it from the little group of three meeting at the Resort and to keep the club in good standing. When she stepped up to be President in a time of need – she had to “learn as you go.” She, along with Sue Walker, took on the task of rewriting the bylaws to maintain organizational integrity and meet County Democratic Club requirements. She notes that 2015 through 2025 have been particularly busy as well challenging but her dedication has never wavered. So – Thank You Mickey for your service!

Mountain Bears Democratic Club’s**** March Madness meeting was just that MADNESS!
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!

Calling ALL Writers
MBDC Members protest with their PEN!
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!
