Nine candidates for city council have confirmed their attendance. Each candidate participating in the evening’s forum will have the opportunity to answer various questions related to the overarching theme of Equity, Anti-Racism, and Transformative Change for the Black Community. This forum is designed to raise and address issues that our communities may not hear in other forums.
This is not a typical election year. Join us in this important process of evaluating who will make decisions that will impact the politics and culture of Santa Monica for years to come.
