Solano Democrats Recognize Juneteenth 2022

At the June 2022 monthly meeting of the Solano County Democratic Central Committee (SCDCC) recognized the historic nature and importance of the new Juneteenth national holiday.  The committee recognizes the importance of that historic event that happened in June of 1865 when the last people held in slavery were notified that they had been freed with the Emancipation Proclamation and passage of the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution.

This year, unlike previous years, the country celebrated this important historical event as a national holiday thanks to President Joe Biden.

The SCDCC wants all community members, especially our Democratic Party members to remember that we only thrive when we all enjoy equal representation under the law, and have equitable opportunities.

2022 Black History Month Proclamation

PROCLAMATION

Solano County Democratic Central Committee

 Black History Month, 2022

 

WHEREAS, the origin of Black History Month began in 1915, half a century after the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery in the United States, and emerged out  of “Negro History Week,” the creation of noted Black American historian Carter G. Woodson; and

 

WHEREAS, with the Civil Rights Movement and a growing awareness of Black Identity, Black History Month or National African American History Month evolved to an annual celebration of achievements by Black Americans of African descent recognizing the central role of Black Americans in U.S. history; and

 

WHEREAS, many Black Americans lived, toiled, and died in obscurity, never achieving the recognition those individuals deserved, and yet paved the way for future generations to succeed; and

 

WHEREAS, here in Solano County we honor the memory and legacies of Adam Willis, a enslaved person who lived in Benicia, John Grider who lived in Solano County from 1850 to 1924 and was one of eight Black Americans who participated in the Bear Flag Revolt at Sonoma in 1846. We acknowledge John R. Landaway, Wilson Dixon of Vallejo and Charles Gibson of Suisun City who were members of a state-wide education committee in the 1860’s that raised money to fight for educational opportunities for Black children; and

 

WHEREAS, the Solano County Democratic Central Committee celebrates the contributions of all people who thrived throughout history making unforgettable positive changes in Solano County as artists, scientists, educators, business people, influential thinkers, members of the faith community, athletes, and political and governmental leaders.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, the Solano County Democratic Central Committee recognizes February 2022 as Black History Month.

 

DONE AND PROCLAIMED this 26th day of January 2022 in Solano County California.

Solano County Democrats Come Out Against the Recall of Governor Newsom

	Say NO to the REPUBLICAN RECALL

Who Is Behind the Recall?

A partisan, Republican coalition of national Republicans, anti-vaxxers, Q-Anon conspiracy theorists and anti-immigrant Trump supporters.

According to the Los Angeles Times, they include “peddlers of Q-Anon doomsday conspiracies; ‘patriots’ readying for battle and one organization allied with the far-right extremist group, the Proud Boys.”

Instead of helping fight the pandemic, these partisan forces are pulling a page from the Trump playbook and attacking Californians.  Click here to Learn More.

Solano Democrats Call for Justice in Police Use of Force Incidents

--  For Immediate Release  --

Solano Democrats Call for Justice in Police Use of Force Incidents

 

Fairfield, CA – April 20, 2021 – Solano County Democrats along with Stonewall Democratic Club and Jewish Democratic Club of Solano County issued a resolution calling for Justice in Police Use of Force Incidents in Solano County.

Given the historic events of April 20 in the trial of Derek Chauvin for George Floyd’s death, we are calling on for the review of the Willie McCoy case and others in Solano County.  These cases show that there is a propensity for police use of force and lethal action in cases involving members of the African American community more than others.

The resolution calls on Solano County District Attorney Krishna Abrams to review these cases of police use of force and the outcome of the investigation of the case of Willie McCoy.  It is the belief of these organizations that the police (Vallejo Police Department) have used undue force in cases such as these.

The Resolution calls for Abrams to reexamine the cases her office has ruled as justified.  McCoy, 20 years old, had fallen asleep in his car at a Taco Bell when cops were called.  Body cam footage did not corroborate the claim by the Vallejo Police Department that the victim pointed a gun or threatened the officers in any way prior to their firing 55 bullets into his car within 3.5 seconds.

“Accountability cannot be overlooked no matter who perpetrates the crime,” said Margie Olson, Chair of the Solano Democratic Central Committee.

The resolution also calls into question several of the officers that were present for having previously caused the City of Vallejo to lose multiple civil cases for the same behavior. “America has a problem with systemic racism and a shoot-first mentality among the legions of cops,” said Thomas Bilbo, Chair of the Stonewall Democratic Club of Solano County.

We are asking that people in Solano County join us on Thursday, April 22 at 7 pm for a vigil remembering the people lost to Police Violence and Brutality at the County Event Center plaza.

In Response to a Recent Article About Hakeem Brown

Fairfield, CA – October 14, 2020 – “The Solano County Democratic Central Committee (SCDCC) does not condone any form of violence or abuse being perpetrated on one person by another,” said Marjorie Olson, SCDCC Chair said in reference to the Open Vallejo story that broke overnight about Vallejo Mayoral Candidate, Hakeem Brown’s instances of violence towards women.  “The revelation of this has taken us all aback and we are now working with the state party on what the next steps might be.”

Domestic violence/abuse is a tragic reality that many people face in the home and in an intimate relationship that is supposed to be loving.  On average, more than 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men in the US will experience rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner. 

If you are suffering from any form of this, the SCDCC urges you to call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1.800.799.SAFE (7233).  You can also find confidential resources online at https://www.thehotline.org/.

SCDCC will be keeping the Vallejo and Solano County community informed.
