8. Main Event

1. The next cycle has begun. What are your ideas for IMDC activities leading up to the 2022 cycle?
   These ideas were brought up at the last meeting. Please consider how you can contribute to them and provide some of your own ideas for making the IMDC a Democratic presence in Mendocino.

• • Mobile HQ
    We talked about using the van to make monthly trips around the county to recruit members
  • Support local activist groups
    Jackie has been in touch with local charities who are helping DACA people. IMDC could support these organizations rather than trying to create something on our own.
    Fund people who are applying for citizenship
  • Outreach
    High School/Mendo College
    Latino Community - forming a Democratic Club
    Native American community
  • Future meetings
    Fred would like to have one of our elected representatives attend every IMDC meeting. Do you know of anyone who would like to speak at a meeting about topics that are relevant to our political life - environment, justice equality, homelessness, COVID, etc.
  • Homeless
    We talked about the proposal to create a homeless shelter out of the old Best Western Motel.
