Over the last several months, Alliance San Diego has been part of several joint efforts with partners in San Diego and across the state on redistricting, the process used by governments to redraw political district boundaries every ten years after the Census.

As you may know, we are nearing the end of the redistricting process at all levels. Today we need your support with the County Redistricting Commission.

This evening at 5:30pm the Commission will be voting to approve a map that dilutes Black and Latinx voting power (Citizens Voting Age Population CVAP) while empowering white voters in Supervisorial District 4. Specifically, removing Spring Valley, Paradise Hills, and Skyline areas and replacing them with Clairemont Mesa.

On May 15, Alliance San Diego and the American Friends Service Committee sent a letter to San Diego Sheriff William Gore urging him and the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department (SDCSD) to conduct an immediate, independent and thorough investigation of an incident involving a fatal shooting by Border Patrol. The shooting took place on Friday evening, May 14, 2021 at a gas station in Campo.

At Alliance San Diego we strongly believe The City of San Diego budget should reflect our values and should prioritize equitable investments while advancing racial and social justice. We also support a budget process that is transparent with the public and consults with affected stakeholders. The People’s Budget FY 2022 does just that. This budget was developed by the Community Budget Alliance, of which Alliance San Diego is a member.
