This Giving Tuesday we are spotlighting Pillars of the Community for their dedication to celebrating the diverse culture of San Diego and their work to support those affected by the criminal justice system.
“The idea that there's more crime in Southeast San Diego than there is in La Jolla […] is a myth … What you have in Southeast San Diego and those communities are a larger police presence looking for crime.” Pillars of the Community @KhalidPalexand https://t.co/QRU7anhuzG
Black immigrant, Arabs, refugee communities in San Diego have been split and disconnected from one another. There is an intentional effort to split and disempower BIPOC communities in east county as a way to dilute their power and further make invisible this community of interest
Due to gentrification and displacement, Black residents have been moving to the east. the Black Hub has pushed to keep similar Bay Area communities together. @wedrawthelines#CABlackredistrictingHub
The Congressional District that incl. Corona & Moreno Valley should stay together. Pls. Review #CABlackRedistrictingHub maps to see how these communities can be balanced & paired together while respecting VRA & population balancing #BlackVoicesMatter@WeDrawTheLines
Keep Ashland whole and with their closest neighboring unincorporated Alameda County cities. Build strong political power of smaller cities like Ashland by keeping them together. #Blackvoicesmatter#CABlackredistrictingHub@WeDrawTheLines
Historically Black neighborhoods and diverse communities just West of Hwy 99 should be kept with their neighbors in Fresno at the Assembly and Congressional level. Don’t split our communities or dilute our voices. @wedrawthelines#Blackvoicesmatter#CABlackRedistrictingHub
Affluent Downtown San Diego doesn’t represent the interests and priorities lifted by residents of City Heights, Southeast, and El Cajon. We urge you to prioritize our COI testimony and work to our communities stay together. #Blackvoicesmatter#CABlackRedistrictingHub
Black communities in San Diego have continued to be split and paired with dissimilar areas. FYI- Santee is called Klantee and is not aligned with the Black, Latinx, and immigrant communities that make up SE San Diego and El Cajon.

Keep Richmond, Vallejo, and East Contra Costa communities of Bay Point, Pittsburg, and Antioch together in Congressional maps. #Blackvoicesmatter#CABlackredistrictingHub
