About

We are a chartered club under the Monterey County Democratic Central Committee. Although we are primarily concerned with what goes on in and around Marina California, our outreach is to like-minded progressives, regardless of party affiliation, who work hard for the citizens of our community region, state and nation.

VISION

To realize a healthy, equitable and compassionate community that reflects social, physical and mental well-being for all its residents at all stages of life

A compassionate city is an uncomfortable city!  A city that is uncomfortable when anyone is homeless or hungry.  Uncomfortable if every child isn’t loved and given rich opportunities to grow and thrive.  Uncomfortable when as a community we don’t treat our neighbors as we would wish to be treated.”

 ― Karen Armstrong, Founder of the global movement, The Charter for Compassion

Mission

Our mission is to elect strong Democrats who will advance healthy and compassionate policies and programs to protect the environment, worker’s rights, civil rights and to promote social and racial justice while building a healthy community and strong economy that fosters opportunity for all.
