Celebrate Black History Month
Exciting Events Coming Up!
SBWPC Members,

I invite you to celebrate Black History Month this February by furthering your learning, strengthening your support for racial justice, and supporting local events.

There is still time to tune in for many upcoming virtual events in our local community in celebration of Black History Month.

Additionally, we are thrilled to welcome Los Angeles County Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell as our keynote speaker for this year's Presidents' Circle Event. Mark your calendars to join us virtually on March 11th at 5:30 PM. More information is below.

Our candidate development committee has planned a workshop regarding appointed Boards and Commissions. Join us for "Connecting your Passions to Politics" on April 10th. More information and registration information coming soon.

Thank you for your continued support of SBWPC!

Adelante/Forward,
