The WHO petition has been advertised here before but not the Tow Hall. All CA residents should try to get a Town Hall held in Scott Wiener's district. He is behind some particularly awful legislation, esp. SB 132, which has put violent male rapists in women's prisions, and his Democrat challenger, Cynthia Cravens, is going to call him out on his legislative record. (Yes, I know she's a Dem., but she's the best chance we've got of ousting him, I think.)
I don’t know her well by any stretch, but I’ve met Cynthia Cravens in person and came away impressed by her commitment to women and girls. I hope she or any other candidate is able to defeat Wiener and his anti-woman, anti-child platform.
Many thanks for the links. It's certainly heartening to read this:
Our schools should be free from unscientific ideologies.
Parents in our district must be informed when their children start to adopt new pronouns and self-identify as new gender identities. The fact is, most of these kids are gender nonconforming... and would simply grow up to be gay.
and this:
Trans-identifying males should not be in women’s spaces and sports.
It's unsafe and it's unfair. Boys and men, no matter how they self-identify, can and should compete only in male sports.
o/Activism is a circle for sharing various calls to action for feminist causes, including petitions, fundraisers, letter-writing or call-in campaigns, etc.
The call to action should be clear from the post itself. Do not post links to news/articles and then write about what to do about them in the comments. Instead, make a text post with the action to take described in the post, and then include any links to news/articles in the text post. Posts that are links should only be links to pages that include calls to action in them, or are relevant, current activism resources. No one should be left wondering "but what am I to do about it?" after reading a post.
Image posts are only enabled for event fliers and advertisements of feminist groups. No other images are allowed.
Personal or action-inspiring activism reports may be appropriate here, subject to mod discretion. This is not a discussion circle but a call to action circle, so the activism report needs to contribute to calling others to action. In general, it's a better idea to use the feminist discussion circles listed below.
Activism groups that are friendly to gender critical feminists can also be advertised here. However, advertisements for Discord chat rooms or other private groups must be pre-approved by /o/Activism moderators before you post. Please report any ads for private groups that do not have a comment from a mod confirming that it is approved. Never give anyone sensitive information that could be used to de-anonymize you without first vetting them yourself. Be careful!
This circle is about accomplishing specific feminist goals. If you want to discuss ideologies, current events, debates, articles, or news, use other circles such as /o/WomensLiberation or /o/GenderCritical. If you are posting a specific event, you probably want to post to /o/FeministEvents as well.

That's great to know. I am trying to find out more about her. Hadn't heard of her before this I read this on the WDI site.
Her campaign website is here: https://www.cynthia4senate.org
And she tweets as @cynthia4senate. If you're on Twitter/X I'm sure she'd answer your questions there. Hope you can connect!

What do you mean by, "I know she's a Dem" ?
She's a Democrat. I am trying to find out what her other political positions are.
