For the last 31 years, we’ve celebrated the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the annual All Peoples Celebration. In 2020, we will proudly celebrate the 32nd year of this pre-eminent event and we invite you to join us!

Our theme this year is BE HEARD. BE COUNTED. BELONG. It’s a call to action to be heard by lifting our voices, be counted by participating in our democracy, and belong by creating a future where all of us can achieve our full potential in an environment of harmony, safety, equality, and justice. In so doing, we create the Beloved Community that Dr. King envisioned.

The San Diego City Council disregarded the law and disregarded voters to adopt a flawed ballot question for the March 2020 election. The ballot question is for a measure that would impose a tax and authorize a bond to finance the expansion of the convention center, among other things. 

We have been fighting hard to protect the will of the voters who overwhelmingly approved Measure L, the landmark 2016 initiative that requires City Council to place ballot initiatives in the election in November, when the most people vote.

This week, our statewide coalition, California for Schools & Communities First, launched its signature gathering campaign to collect over 1 million signatures to qualify our new and improved ballot measure for the November 2020 ballot.

Alliance San Diego is working to ensure all San Diegans are counted in the upcoming 2020 Census. The decennial census is mandated by the Constitution, and will take place again on April 1, 2020. The goal is to count the entire population of  the United States. The data generated by the census is used for reapportionment of congressional seats, redistricting at the federal, state and local levels, as well as distribution of federal funds to support vital programs.
