Hello Democrats and Friends.

We are thrilled to announce that our next meeting promises to be both informative and thought-provoking. We’re honored to welcome a distinguished guest speaker, Rick-Arlo Ya Lira, Staff Officer from the San Diego-Imperial County ACLU.

Rick-Arlo will be shedding light on a pressing issue that’s captured the attention of our community: the human rights implications surrounding the impending lithium mining in our region. As lithium stands as a primary source for battery materials in electric vehicles, understanding the complexities and potential impacts of this industry on our human rights landscape is paramount.
