Elon Musk is destroying our democracy, and he's using the fortune he built at Tesla to do it. We are taking nonviolent action at Tesla to stop Musk's illegal coup.

A peaceful protest will take place on the sidewalk along North Main Street in front of Spencer's Fresh Market in North Morro Bay. We DO NOT have permission to park in the Spencer's/Taco Temple parking lots (you might get towed). You may park along the side streets or in the neighborhood behind Spencer's, being careful not to block anyone's driveway. Please do not park along the frontage road in front of Spencer's as that will block visibility from Highway 1. Please carpool if possible. Email ProtestInLosOsos@gmail.com

As your United States Representative, I believe that protecting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid is non-negotiable. These vital programs support millions of Americans, including retirees, disabled workers, survivors, children, and seniors. They must remain strong and accessible. But right now, these benefits are under serious threat.

Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are pursuing a reckless overhaul of the Social Security Administration. Their plan is to shrink the workforce by 12%, close nearly 50 field offices, and slash staffing for processing claims, appeals, and benefit payments. Call wait-times have already doubled, and these cuts could risk technical outages, disrupting payments to more than 73 million Americans.

Meanwhile, House Republicans are pushing massive budget cuts that could gut Medicaid, raise health care costs for working families, and put food assistance for thousands of Californians.

I’m hosting a town hall in Cambria at the Veterans’ Memorial Hall (1000 Main St, Cambria, CA 93428) on Thursday, March 20th from 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM to hear from you and talk about how Congress is fighting back and working hard to protect the benefits that you and your family have earned.

This is a time to meet with fellow democrats sharing similar ideals and frustrations to process aspects of the current political climate and collaborate regarding how we might take care of ourselves and our community despite the issues we are facing.

Mujeres de Acción and Faith Organizations & Neighbors in Action are hosting two highly regarded immigration attorneys for a seminar on family plans for mixed-status families (in the event a family is separated by deportation), and on the civil rights of immigrants (and others) who are confronted by ICE agents. All of this is intended to help you feel more confident and equipped for the work that is before us. See: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/community-training-family-plans-and-know-your-rights-tickets-1260333002939 Faith organizations wishing to join this effort are encouraged to email Pastor Kathleen McShane: kathleenmcshane@icloud.com.

From Jimmy Panetta:

I will be hosting a virtual town hall to discuss Social Security and the overhaul of this agency by the Trump Administration. I am planning to have former Social Security Commissioner and former Governor of Maryland, Martin O’Malley, on the line as a special guest to discuss Social Security issues and to answer your questions. I believe that this is such an important issue and an excellent opportunity to hear from Commissioner O’Malley that it is necessary to conduct this town hall by telephone so that the entire constituency of California’s 19th Congressional District can participate.

Join the discussion and participate by either:

• Signing up to receive a call at the start of the event: https://panetta.house.gov/live

• Dialing in directly by calling 833-380-0413 at 5:00 PM on Tuesday, March 18th

• Listening live online at https://panetta.house.gov/live

Social Security is a critical lifeline for millions of Americans, ensuring retirees, disabled workers, and survivors receive the benefits that they have earned. In California’s 19th Congressional District, over 140,000 people rely on Social Security, with $282 million in benefits distributed each month. Americans count on the Social Security Administration (SSA) to be responsive and effective, and that is why we must do everything we can to strengthen Social Security. However, the SSA is currently undergoing a massive reorganization that is being driven by Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which could easily weaken the agency and potentially collapse the system.

Be on the lookout for additional opportunities to connect in-person and virtually.

It's more important than ever that we stay informed, united, and focused on holding those in charge accountable for their actions and continue to fight back against these harmful actions. Can you join me this Monday?

On March 15th, mail Donald Trump a postcard that publicly expresses our opposition to him. We, in vast numbers, from all corners of the world, will overwhelm the man with his unpopularity and failure. We will show the media and the politicians what standing with him — and against us — means. And most importantly, we will bury the White House post office in pink slips, all informing Donnie that he’s fired.

Each of us — every protester from every march, each congress calling citizen, every boycotter, volunteer, donor, and petition signer — if each of us writes even a single postcard and we put them all in the mail on the same day, March 15th, well: you do the math.
