SUMMARY:Discussion on What to Ask Primary Candidates
DESCRIPTION:Are you wondering why we have such a big disconnect between what people want and what our politicians vote for? \nPoll after poll shows that a majority of Americans support policies like progressive taxation\, yet many elected officials continue to vote against them. This gap between public opinion and political action raises an important question: how do we hold candidates accountable for where they truly stand? \nAs 2026 is a big election year\, we want to make it easier for people to ask candidates questions to see where they really stand on a series of issues. \nOur team has updated our Policy Platform (link) and we’d like to invite you into a conversation about what questions candidates should be answering during the primary season. \n\nWhat are the most important issues voters can ask candidates about?\nHow can we frame questions to avoid vague or evasive “non-answers” and get clear\, substantive responses?\n\nHosted by David Green & Kirsten Maynard \nSign up HERE

SUMMARY:The Role Universities Play in Wellbeing Economies
DESCRIPTION:Universities are an economic engine in their community. Not only do they employ many people\, they purchase a large amount of goods and services. Campus design\, policies\, curriculum and participation in the community also have ripple effects. \nWEAll California would like to bring together the people doing great work at Universities to share what is being and done and what else could be done. \nThis special session is a kickoff to help us work on a Wellbeing in Education Conference and to find future speakers for an online series on Education. \nIn this discussion\, we will focus on three areas: \n\nCampus Spending and the Anchor Institution Model\nIndividual Curriculum and Cross-Speciality Curriculum\nHelp people on campus connect the dots and understand what makes up Community\nWellbeing\n\nGiven the specific nature of this discussion\, we would like to invite current and former professors and administrators. Normally\, our events are open to anyone. However\, to make this session productive\, we would like to limit attendance to people from this field. \nWe will also share some of the work that other WEAll Hubs are doing on Education. \nSign up HERE

SUMMARY:Discussion - What is the deal with Wealth Taxes
DESCRIPTION:California is struggling to meet budget shortfalls. \nThe Inequality gap in America is now wider than it was during the age of Robber Barons and the Gilded Age. It even excedes the French Revolution. \nYet\, lawmakers are skittish to tax the ultra wealthy. \nWhat can our community do to find a solution? \nOur discussion will revolve around a few questions: \n\nWhich of the current Wealth Tax plans do you favor?\nHow do we counter the common concerns (“Billionaires will move to Texas”)?\nWhat steps can our coalition take to ensure lawmakers in California do something?\n\nThis is a friendly discussion\, so do some meditation right before our meeting to get centered. The purpose is to engage our brains and meet others doing good work. \nThe discussion will not be recorded\, so that everyone can speak comfortably. \nDo you have the secret answer? We want to know. \nIf you want to read up on some of the different tax plans beforehand\, please let David know. \nSign up HERE for this discussion. \n

SUMMARY:Bioregional Regeneration Unconference
DESCRIPTION:From our friends in the Bay Area— \nThis is the 4th Bioregional Regeneration Unconference for the SF Bay Delta Bioregion. Each gathering has deepened our network and sparked new collaborations across the region. \nAt previous unconferences\, participants have mapped 100-year visions for the bioregion\, explored governance models from sociocracy to citizen assemblies\, explored mutual aid networks\, and asked hard questions like “what do we tell our kids about collapse?” and “how do we bring more play into resilience work?” \nThis spring\, we’re building on that momentum – and preparing a delegation to the Turtle Island Bioregional Congress in September. \nUsing Open Space Technology\, there’s no pre-set agenda. You bring the topics that matter to you – whether that’s local food systems\, land stewardship\, Indigenous leadership\, solidarity economy\, regenerative tech\, or something we haven’t imagined yet. Our experienced facilitation team holds the structure so you can dive into the conversations that call to you. \nWhether you’re running a community garden\, organizing mutual aid\, working on local policy\, or just wondering how to plug in – you belong here. This is your invitation to join a growing network of people committed to a future that works for all life.

SUMMARY:In Person - Pomona - Community Meeting
DESCRIPTION:A Wellbeing Economy is one where everyone thrives. \nOur current economy is inequitable and does not support community priorities \nJoin multiple community based organizations as we come together again to discuss how we turn visions of Wellbeing Economy into reality here in the Pomona Valley. \nLast year\, we met to explore what a Wellbeing Econom could look like here in Pomona.  Several themes emerged: \n\nQuality of Life – Time to be with friends\, family and community without worrying about financial challenges.\nWorking together – The importance of groups coming together in harmony for solidarity\, maximizing resources and building power.\nChanging the Systems – Looking at what builds community wellbeing and what weakens it and making changes.\n\nJoin us at our May 12th event\, we will work in breakout groups to determine what are the key levers that will build a local Wellbeing Economy and consider forming working groups to keep these efforts going long term. \nThis is a great time to join us and help form what comes next. \nWe welcome people of all ages\, skill levels and occupations.  Let’s build community as we learn together. \nLocation – dA Center for the Arts\, 252 S. Main Street\, Pomona \nSign up HERE to participate.

SUMMARY:Proportional Represenation Explained
DESCRIPTION:ProRep Coalition believes that moving our state legislators from single member districts to multi member districts with proportional representation would lead to a healthier democracy that better represents the multitudes of each district. \nProRep Coalition does educational work to build support for a ballot measure in California to move to this system. \nProportional Representation (PR) is used by most advanced democracies and can help solve many of the shortcomings of a system with entrenched two parties. PR represents diversity better\, encourages cross-party coalition building\, and results in policies that work for the many\, not the few. \nCaledon Myers is the Founder and Executive Director of ProRep Coalition\, and will be joining us to share more about the organization’s work\, and to specifically highlight the democracy reform town halls they’ll be piloting later this year that will be used to determine the features of a future ballot initiative. \nSign up HERE
