Thank you for your support!
Most of the votes have been counted and while the results won't be certified until December, it is clear our campaign was a success and I will serve as Culver City Unified School District Board Member. Our historic people-powered campaign relied on volunteers and small donations from many individuals. I am so proud of the community centered campaign we ran and appreciate all the amazing energy and love from every team member, volunteer, host, endorser, contributor, and supporter.
I'm looking forward to serving the community as the first Filipina American elected in Culver City and the first Filipinx American elected to any school board in Los Angeles County outside of ABC Unified School District. New board members will be sworn in at the next board meeting on Tuesday, December 13th.
Although we are celebrating this victory, there is so much work we have to do to center a culture of care and safety for all in our community. Today on Trans Day of Remembrance and in the wake of last night's senseless gun violence at Club Q in Colorado springs, we honor all of the trans and non-binary lives lost while also remembering the importance of uplifting and celebrating trans and non-binary people year-round. I urge everyone to read about and find ways to celebrate and support trans and non-binary folks daily, including championing trans and non-binary owned small businesses, donating to mutual aid funds and organizations, educating yourself about the community, and having conversation with family and friends about trans and non-binary folks.
In Gratitude and Solidarity,
Stephanie
