  • Blockwalk with State Representative Lulu Flores


    Join State Representative Lulu Flores and the Riverside Democrats for a neighborhood blockwalk to talk directly with voters ahead of the upcoming election! This is a great opportunity to get involved, meet Representative Flores in person, and canvass to get out the vote for Democrats up and down the ballot for the election.

    No experience necessary — volunteers will receive a quick training, walking materials (door hangers, scripts), and a walking route before heading out in small groups. Comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing are recommended.

    What to bring: A filled water bottle to stay hydrated while we’re out blockwalking and talking with our neighbors, comfortable walking shoes, and a friend or two!

  • Riverside Democrats Neighborhood Clean-Up



    Join the Riverside Democrats on Saturday, June 20th, for a community trash cleanup and beach day!

    Bring a sack lunch and meet in the parking lot of Ruiz Branch Library at 10am on Saturday, June 20th. Trash bags and gloves will be provided in order to walk down Grove and Riverside Drive to give back to our community by doing a bit of beautifying! After about an hour of picking up trash, we’ll head to Guerrero Park, take a short hike down to Secret Beach with our lunches, and spend the rest of the afternoon socializing by the water.

    Swimsuits, folding chairs, beach towels, sunscreen, and bug spray are all encouraged! Make sure to wear any Democratic Party (or related) apparel if you have any. Gather with your fellow Democrats to give back on this Juneteenth weekend and then spend some fun in the sun. Children are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult at all times!

    If you would like a Riverside Democrats T-shirt, email lucian.villasenor@gmail.com. We ask for a $10 donation.

  • County Commissioner Precinct 4 Candidate Forum

    Candidate forum hosted by the Riverside Democrats. This forum is designed to bring candidates George Morales III and Susanna Ledesma-Woody together in a structured, community-facing setting that gives voters a direct look at where they stand.

    Spanish translation will be available, and there will be time for audience questions. Early voting begins May 18, and Election Day is May 26.
