“No one knows more about reproductive rights in the U.S. than Carole Joffe,” said Daily Beast contributor Michelle Goldberg. Accomplished author and Professor at the UCSB Bixby Center for Reproductive Health, Dr. Carole Joffe’s research focuses on the social dimensions of reproductive health, with a particular interest in abortion access. Her most recent book, Dispatches from the Abortion Wars, immerses readers in the front lines of abortion provision in the U.S., revealing the persistent cultural, political, and economic hurdles to abortion services. Professor Joffe is also a frequent contributor to RH Reality Check, and her most recent posts can be found here:http://www.rhrealitycheck.org/blog/966.

Best,

Save the Rental Housing Mediation Task Force!
Voice your support for RHMTF to City Council on December 6th!

As you may have heard, after 35 years of successful service to residents of the City of Santa Barbara and the surrounding communities, the Rental Housing Mediation Task Force (RHMTF) is in danger of being disbanded due to program budget cuts!

Santa Barbara County Democrats!

The California Democratic Party and Democracy for America are hosting a Campaign Academy training in Santa Barbara on the weekend of December 10-11.

That's less than two weeks from now.

Dear Fellow Democrat,

Whew! Another important local election under our belts. The 2011 Santa Barbara City Council race was a tough one, and once again our volunteer activists stepped up to the challenge.

The good news is that with the election of Cathy Murillo, Santa Barbara's first Latina councilwoman, the conservatives no longer control a majority of seats. That will mean a return to Santa Barbara's values of environmental protection, smart planning and social justice.

Tomorrow is the day that we have been working towards for the last three months. Over 200 people have spent countless volunteer hours to get Deborah Schwartz, Iya Falcone and Cathy Murillo elected to the Santa Barbara City Council.

No matter what the weather looks like this weekend, we will be out in full force this final weekend of the 2011 Santa Barbara City Council campaign!

We will be phoning and walking to talk to voters about our endorsed candidates: Deborah Schwartz, Iya Falcone and Cathy Murillo and to encourage them to turn in their ballot at the nearest drop-off center THIS Saturday or Tuesday.

Get Out The Vote!

We're less than a week away from the end of the 2011 Santa Barbara City Council campaign! A BIG THANK YOU is in order to all those who have been working so hard to get our endorsed candidates, Cathy Murillo, Deborah Schwartz and Iya Falcone, elected to the Santa Barbara City Council! We have had a truly grassroots effort and over 150 people have volunteered on this important election. If you haven't gotten involved yet, now is the time! Add your name to the incredible list of volunteers we have had this year.
