This election season kicks off for Committee For Racial Justice (CRJ) at 6:00pm on 9/15/24 by co-sponsoring with the League of Women Voters of Santa Monica Educational Fund (LWVSMEF) a non-partisan candidates forum for folks running to sit on the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District board of education. This will take place in the Thelma Terry Center at Virginia Ave. Park in Santa Monica. All 3 incumbents and one challenger have accepted the invitation to participate.

Questions have been gathered from the co-sponsors constituencies and will be presented to the candidates by the moderator, Erika Bell, starting at 6:30pm on the 15th. After which, there will be some time for candidates to answer questions submitted in writing that evening by those in attendance.



Before all that, at 6pm that Sunday evening, there will be an opportunity to hear from the incoming members of the Santa Monica Board of Trustees and the Rent Control Board, all of whom no longer have to be elected, since there were the same number of candidates as there were openings for these 2 boards. So, all of these former candidates have been invited to come at 6pm to each take a few minutes to introduce themselves and their priorities to everyone present.

This forum is designed to raise and address issues that our communities may not hear in other forums. Come and join us on Sunday evening to become a more informed voter on the issues and candidates in this November’s local election.

 

And SAVE THE DATE of Oct. 6th at 6:30pm for our City Council candidate forum.
