From the Editor


  • We're so happy to bring you the Take Back Red California (TBRC) newsletter, with a new look and updated content.  .

    As you know (because you’ve helped us do the work!), TBRC  moves resources from Democratic (blue) counties to strengthen the efforts of Democrats in Republican-leaning (red) counties. (Please check out our website to be updated on our efforts.)

    The NEW newsletter  format  will bring you front line perspectives from local elected officeholders and on-the-ground organizers, updates from state and federal candidates and electeds, topical books reports, success stories, volunteer actions and candidate and campaign updates, and  a letter from our Chair, .

    We're making the TBRC website a Northern California neighborhood watering hole... A place to plug into volunteer actions, locate current information about  Democrats running for office (at all levels) in the red counties,  and a place to share goals and strategies.

    Become a member of TBRC (it’s really a great deal!). Keep us in the loop — let us know what you're working on, which Democratic candidates are running for office in your area (in both partisan  and non-partisan races), and how we can continue to strengthen our Democratic presence in the Republican-dominated regions.

    So, if you've been organizing, campaigning and politicking for Democrats, welcome to our new and improved home. If you've been looking for a way to plug in to a dynamic group of people who want to empower their friends and neighbors, welcome home to you as well.

    This month we include a book review. 

    Let’s get this jam-packed year started. There are lots of opportunities on the horizon... It’s going to be a fast and furious ride. Thank you for being a partner as we shift the state from “red to blue”!

    Please give us feedback on our new format. This is your newsletter and we are always striving to improve on it.

    Claire Black-Slotton,
    Communications Chair
