He thanked Club members for their support in the election. Since many voters in the county are not on the internet, he had to use USPS to mail fliers, which is quite expensive. McGourty explained his vote on Barney's contract, in spite of the fact she had retweeted a rightwing website that was anti-mask, saying that County counsel held that freedom of speech means you can't sanction people for their private views. She has strong recommendations and they will monitor her performance. On the vaccine he said the county is distributing through Mendocino Public Health, Adventist, Consolidated Tribal Health and pharmacies. They put in orders on Friday and get a certain amount on Monday, so they have to work quickly to set up clinics and distribute it.&nbsp; They have been trying to target vulnerable populations like farm workers by working with the Farm Bureau, wine growers and labor contractors.&nbsp; More than half of our farm workers have been vaccinated so far.<br \/>\nIt's been challenging to reach people who don't have internet and they are working on it. Fred suggested using Nixle which McGourty thought was a good idea. Helen suggesting recruiting pastors and WhatsApp, a tool many Latinos (an underserved population) use. On cannibis, it seemed like there was mostly bad news. It sounds like officials in charge of the legalization process have kicked the can down the road and the time of reckoning is approaching. McGourty is afraid some growers will be hung out to dry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol type=\"I\" start=\"9\">\n<li><b>Operational Team Reports<\/b>\n<ol type=\"I\">\n<li><strong>Proposed 2021 IMDC Activities<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<ul>\n<li><b><a href=\"https:\/\/inlandmendodems.org\/WP\/document\/imdc-elec-02-21\/\">Elections Report - Judy<\/a><\/b>\n<ul>\n<li>Find Democrats to fill vacant County vacancies \u2013 Commissions, Boards, etc. Joe &amp; Judy<\/li>\n<li>Recruit, mentor, assist Democrats to run for elected office<\/li>\n<li>Support candidates' campaigns<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><b><a href=\"https:\/\/inlandmendodems.org\/WP\/document\/imdc-efr-02-21\/\">Mobile HQ - Joe<\/a><\/b>\n<ul>\n<li>Join Joe to deploy the BAV around the County throughout the year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><b><a href=\"https:\/\/inlandmendodems.org\/WP\/document\/imdc-ldr-02-21\/\">Medicare for All - Robin<\/a><\/b>\n<ul>\n<li>Join the proponents of a CA Senate Bill to enact \u201cMedicare for All\u201d in CA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Community Outreach Report Jackie<\/b>\n<ul>\n<li>Work with other Civic groups to encourage participation in political activities \u2013 DACA, Voter Registration,etc<\/li>\n<li>Support formation of a Latino Democratic Club<\/li>\n<li>Engage existing programs to help fund and support people applying for US citizenship<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><b><a href=\"https:\/\/inlandmendodems.org\/WP\/document\/imdc-edu-02-21\/\">Education - Helen<\/a><\/b>\n<ul>\n<li>Work with Superintendent of Public Schools to establish a Civics Education Program for Junior and Senior High Schools in Mendocino.
