Democratic 21st Century Club

Join us for the D21stCC Annual Member Meeting! We'll enjoy a free lunch, elect our Executive Board and Officers for the next two-year term, and explore how the club can support Democratic candidates and causes up. All current, prospective, and lapsed members are welcome.

Continuing a new tradition, we'll meet at the Santa Clara County Democratic Party Headquarters in San José. Your membership dues allow us to contribute more than $20,000 a year to help pay the rising rent on this year-round hub of Democratic action and activity. We're excited to show it off to you!

If you'd like to nominate yourself or another member for a position on the Executive Board, please send an email to Nominations Chair Janice Allen no later than Monday, June 30th. We will post a list of candidates and/or a slate at least one week prior to the meeting.

Join us for our monthly luncheon featuring guest speaker Marcela Miranda-Caballero, Executive Director of the California Ranked Choice Voting Institute (CalRCV), where she leads efforts to advocate for RCV across the state. Since launching her career with then-Mayor of San Diego Kevin Falconer’s policy team, Marcela has been a proven advisor for national leaders, campaigns, and causes.

In 2018, Marcela was the only Dreamer and Latina to build and lead a multimillion-dollar federal campaign as the Campaign Manager for Ammar Campa-Najjar’s national news-making effort to flip California’s 50th district. She broke fundraising records for a campaign in San Diego County
and led an aggressive media strategy that gained coverage in national outlets such as the New York Times and NBC News. The success of her leadership propelled her to lead a national super PAC combating corruption in government that helped flip the US Senate and foster political candidates across the country.

Marcela is the proud daughter of a working-class immigrant single mother who taught her a fierce work ethic and the importance of leadership. She owes her success to her lifelong commitment to serving her country and expanding the American Dream to all Americans. She is a first-generation college graduate who received her B.A. in Political Science with a minor in Business Management from San Diego State University.

We hope you'll join us to meet Marcela and learn more about RCV, which is currently under consideration for Santa Clara County elections.
