YES ON PROP 50 Sign Waving Brigades
YES ON PROP 50 Sign Waving Brigades are here! Help support this important proposition and help get out the vote! We have several people who have stepped up and committed to helping turn out the vote!
There’s a NO on 50 sign on the fence facing La Honda Elementary that gives the appearance that the school is supporting No on 50. To try to counter that, we want the parents at the school to know that YES on 50 is the way to vote!
- 10/10/25 FRIDAY at A Street by La Honda Elementary: 7:15-8AM during parent drop off times
- 10/10/25 FRIDAY at A Street by La Honda Elementary 12:15-1:30 during parent pick up times at the school
- 10/10/25 FRIDAY at the WYE! 4-5:30 PM during drive time! YES ON 50!
- Location: Corner of Hwy 1 & Harris Grade Rd. Image below explains where to park.
- Google Maps directions: https://maps.app.goo.gl/jxwgHT7TmA9tpQjN9
FRIDAY 10/10/25 11:30am-1:00pm Steep & Speak is happening at Capulin Eats! Join members of our Self-Care committee for a cup of tea or coffee, or maybe lunch.
SATURDAY 10/11/25 at 9:30 am our friends at CAUSE (they have a new office in Lompoc!) are hosting a YES ON 50 Canvassing training and door knocking event! This is a crucial campaign to mobilize immigrant, working class, and young voters to educate them about this special election and get them to vote! Come at 9:30 to learn more, and if you can walk - they’re hitting the streets immediately afterward. Location: 1010 North H Street.
MESSAGE FROM CAUSE
Prop 50 Campaign
Across the Central Coast and throughout California, our communities are under attack. Millions are at risk of losing healthcare. Families are barely making ends meet. And ICE is getting billions to terrorize neighborhoods – all while Trump and his billionaire allies tighten their grip on power.
Have you or someone you love felt the impact? Proposition 50 is how we fight back.
Trump and MAGA leaders are working with states like Texas to rig our democracy – redrawing districts to give themselves permanent control. But here in California, we’re not backing down. Prop 50 is our way of taking power back and protecting our right to fair elections and representation.
Join a campaign kickoff near you:
- Santa Barbara: Saturday, 10/11, 9:00 AM at Alice Keck Park, Santa Barbara
- Lompoc: Saturday, 10/11, 9:30 AM at 1010 N H St., Lompoc
- Santa Maria: Sunday, 10/12, 1:00 PM at 1619 S. Broadway Santa Maria
Trump and the rest of MAGA knows their agenda is deeply unpopular – from militarizing our communities and tearing families apart to stripping away healthcare and ignoring the needs of working people. Instead of facing voters in the 2026 midterms, they’re trying to change the rules to hold onto power.
That’s exactly why we, as Californians, must vote YES on Prop 50 – and why we need a strong grassroots movement to get out the vote. This is a critical moment to organize, mobilize, and show that when we build power from the ground up, we can hold extremists accountable and protect our democracy.
Let's make it clear: this country belongs to us, the people. We draw the line here.
Ready to take a stand? Pledge to vote and sign up to volunteer.
In solidarity,

YES ON 50 POP-UP SIGN WAVING BRIGADE
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16TH, 11-12 NOON
Email us at [email protected] ASAP with SIGN BRIGADE in the subject and we will connect all interested parties for our first one and set up more dates from there.
A number of you have requested yard signs - and we’ve looked high and low for a source. As the pundits always say – “yard signs don’t vote, people do!” People vote – by participating, you’ll show Lompoc that real PEOPLE are backing this proposition! If you have an hour to meet us in the streets to participate in sign waving brigades that pop-up around town at busier times of the day, please join us. Remember, we need people to step forward and participate to demonstrate to folks in our town that we are being brave, happy voters and standing together in the resistance. Come be brave with us!
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18NO KINGS EVENTS |
INDIVISIBLE SANTA BARBARA
Bring Friends to No Kings 2.0 on October 18th
The date of our next big protest is rapidly approaching. We hope you are already planning to join us on October 18 for our rally and march, but do your friends know about the event? Some of them may need a personal invitation to even be aware of the rally, and others need more encouragement to get out of their comfort zones and join in. Personal invites make a huge difference. One way to encourage new folks to attend is to invite them to a sign making party a day or two before the rally. This is an excellent, low-pressure step for people who are new to active participation.
Take action: Plan to come with friends to No Kings 2.0 on October 18.
Location: Alameda Park (1400 Santa Barbara St., corner of Micheltorena and Santa Barbara)
Time: Program begins at noon, but come early (11:00-11:30) to join pre-rally activities
You can let us know you are coming by registering to attend here, which is optional but helps us estimate attendance. If you sign up you can receive pre-event communications with additional instructions and program details.

Musical Showman Gale McNeeley Presents
Tom Lehrer Tribute Show
Santa Ynez Valley Grange
2374 Alamo Pintado Ave., Los Olivos
2 pm Sunday, October 19
Tom Lehrer left the planet July 26th, but his inspired music and lyrics live on.
In the 50s and 60s, Tom was a hit on college campuses with outrageous songs like Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, The Vatican Rag and So Long Mom, I’m Off to Drop the Bomb. He pushed the envelope with his take on religion, politics and war, taking jabs at the Boy Scouts, the Marines and Wernher von Braun.
Gale McNeeley’s Irish tenor vocals and wide musical and performance range make Lehrer’s satirical lyrics shine. And his performance background of unique material makes him ideal for bringing out the best of Lehrer’s work.
A former Broadway singer-actor, he’s a European trained instructor of Commedia Dell ‘Arte (Italian masked comedy) teaching nationally. Work like his ongoing touring show Archy and Mehitabel, allows for a rich interpretation of Lehrer zany words ands music. McNeeley says, “At my Jesuit college, The Vatican Rag was the naughtiest song I had ever heard. Tom inspired my career as a song parodist.”
Mr. McNeeley will be accompanied on the piano by Paul Marszalkowski from the Pacific Conservatory Theatre. There will be a suggested donation of $15 at the door. For more information text or call 805 406 4997.

CALL TO ACTIONHelp Promote Eastside Santa Barbara's Businesses & Resources |
Last year, Eastside residents approached SBCAN for help to promote Eastside businesses and resources. Residents consider Milpas Street Santa Barbara's "second State Street," but do not feel like there is enough investment in the Eastside to help boost its economy. Long-standing businesses are struggling due to various factors including lack of visitation from tourists staying on Cabrillo and from locals.
Thank you to our volunteer Abigail Lindros for helping create this petition to urge the City of Santa Barbara to help promote social and economic justice in Santa Barbara's Eastside. The Eastside is a community rich with diversity and resources and should be treated as such.
"To revitalize the Eastside, a community of Eastside residents alongside SBCAN and other organizations, propose creating a dedicated Eastside Resources/Businesses page on the official City of Santa Barbara website. This page would include hyperlinks to local business websites and contact information, enhancing visibility and accessibility for residents and visitors alike. Additionally, this page would promote Eastside resources such as libraries, community centers, and services for families to bolster community resilience and increase use of existing services.
To elevate Eastside’s online presence, we call for the hiring of City staff or the designation of funds towards a local nonprofit to manage social media accounts that uplift our Milpas restaurants to attract more visitors and invigorate our community’s economy."
Please sign this petition to urge the City of Santa Barbara to create an Eastside businesses and resources tab on the official City website and designate funds to promoting Milpas restaurants on social media.
