Open letter to San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors
May 18, 2020
Dear San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors,
On behalf of the San Joaquin County Democratic Central Committee’s Issues Committee we would like to take this opportunity to provide insight and input on behalf of our communities 133 million dollar allotment of CARES Funding.
In order for our county to thrive to its fullest capacity, we must work together. We must make our efforts of creating safety and economic stability for our entire community one that will reach far and wide. There are so many non profits, and individuals that are doing the work but help is desperately needed. Please consider some of our solutions and recommendations on behalf of our community as follows:
As concerned community members, we ask the Board of Supervisors to consider funding : expansion of homelessness relief, the many job-generating small businesses, expansion of mental health services and community based services.
We share concern for our parks and recreation, local farmers, and migrant workers who need access to health care clinics. Please consider aiding: child care access, and our county college students.
This pandemic has exposed increased need for public mental health services and the importance of supplying appropriate PPE to our essential workers who care for us each day..
And, in order to open our community safely it is critical we provide more testing sites.
We ask the Board to ensure that these funds help protect our surrounding cities by reimbursing the cost of the COVID related services each city has incurred.
133 million dollars is a lot of money, and can help so many in need. This money needs to be ear-marked immediately and with precision so that the people of San Joaquin County will come out of this crisis whole and ready to meet the new challenges that lie ahead.
As you plan to open in phases, with the guidance of our Public health scientists, let’s move our County together in solidarity.
Sincerely,
Kari Khoury
Mary Ann Cox-Martin
Issues Committee Co-Chairs
San Joaquin County Democrat Central Committee

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL MEMBERS!
As you are well aware, we are living through extraordinary times and we must start thinking of creative and safe ways to interact with each other and when necessary carry out the Democratic Party business. Of great importance is our physical, mental, financial, and emotion well-being both as a society and individually. I/we appreciate every act of kindness and action you take to protect and enhance our democracy on a daily basis. It is my sincere hope that these extraordinary times will bring us closer together and start to heal some of the divide we have been facing in our country.
A few important things to note:
- All in-person meetings for the SJCDCC E-Board, Regular Membership and Committees are cancelled until further notice. Our downtown office is also closed until further notice.
- The SJCDCC will utilize the Zoom application to conduct all business until group meetings are authorized the county public health officials.
- Our scheduled May 17th Annual BBQ and fundraiser has been postponed until a later date. (to be determined)
- Please take a few moments now to fill out your Census 2020 and drop it in your mailbox or you can complete online at https://my2020census.gov/
- On a personal note, please consider reaching out to at least one person a day through email, text, phone call, social media, etc. just to check-in with them and communicate for a few moments. This stay-in-home order can create an emotional distance that we can help each other bridge through connections, however small they may be.
- Do not hesitate to reach out to any one of us with questions or concerns. If the E-board needs to take any action, we will communicate with you through email.
