Hi! Thank you so much for donating to The Ring of Democracy- through my link! That means you're either a friend, family, or you're helping me win our team competition- either way I appreciate you!
A little bit about me! I actually immigrated here from Egypt when I was 4 years old. My culture is such a strong part of who I am, and it motivates a lot of my work. I've always had a strong passion for social justice, but honestly, I never really knew where to direct that passion, until I found The Ring of DemocracyTROD)!
Especially with everything going on today, I knew I wanted to have a more direct impact, I wanted to see the change right in front of me with every person I talk to. TROD is exactly where that happens.
We engage, educate, organize, and mobilize Black, Brown, and other historically marginalized people to build power for themselves and their communities. We get into "The Ring" to fight for Democracy.
Last year, under the California Workplace Outreach Project, we tabled at over 70 community events, talked to over 7-thousand community members, and passed out over 27-thousand pieces of educational literature! With volunteers from Sacramento Job Corps, we helped to canvass and knock on approximately 4-thousand doors. We sponsored over 100 free haircuts for kids going back to school across Sacramento. We were chosen to be Sacramento County's Community Ambassador for We Prosper Together's Catalyst Fund in the Capitol Region!
This year you've seen us host a forum for We Prosper Together, partner with the UC Davis Labor Center, Sacramento Cental Labor Council, and Capitol City SDA to host the Immigrant Defense Community Forum! We helped H. Allen Height with their very first resource fair! We've been educating the community on worker's rights and immigration rights. We showed solidarity with IBEW 1245 and Boilermakers Lodge 549 in their attempt to organize workers at SIEMENS. We launched "Champions of the Ring", where we honor community leaders in Sacramento!
We at The Ring of Democracy have been fighting the good fight. Help us fight by supporting us in the Big Day of Giving! Join us and let's fight for democracy! 💥🥊
