Your School Board Vote Matters!!
Many voters believe the current school board has spent too much time on political and cultural issues instead of focusing on strong schools, supporting teachers, and helping students succeed. This November, voters have an opportunity to choose new leadership for the Western Placer Unified School District.
If you are one of those voters who gets to the school board section of your ballot and thinks, "Who are these candidates?" You're not alone!
Join Us and meet the candidates running for the Western Placer Unified School District Board. Hear their priorities, learn how they'll address the challenges facing our schools, and make an informed choice before you vote.
Don't rush off — join us for ice cream after the meeting!

Lincoln Democratic Club hosts back-to-school drive for families, students in need

While school children and their families increasingly struggle to make ends meet in 2026, the Western Placer Unified School District’s Family Resource Center (The HUB) works hard to fill the financial gaps so kids can thrive in school.
The Lincoln Democratic Club just completed a donation drive that helps equip The HUB with well over 200 new, high-quality backpacks that will be distributed to kids at its Back-to-School Resource Fair on Saturday, Aug. 8 at the Lincoln High School parking lot on 790 J Street from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m. The fair is set up to help families and students who are facing financial challenges prepare for the upcoming school year.
“Our members understand that many of our neighbors are finding it harder and harder to keep up financially, especially during the last 18 months as a result of tariffs, higher energy prices and federal aid cuts,” said Ruth Cox, President of the local club. “Our members are enthusiastic about helping to make sure all students have the resources they need to learn and flourish.”
The backpack drive began in mid-June and ends Friday, July 31. In addition to the more than 200 backpacks purchased, the members donated an additional $325 for The HUB to acquire other school supplies, like pens, pencils, paper and binders. The donation drive was the third such club effort in 2026 in support of Lincolnites who need assistance, making a real impact in the community.

Protests
Too often, politics can feel distant—but not when you show up at a protest or rally. Whether it’s No Kings or speaking out against our representative’s voting record, there’s real hope in standing shoulder to shoulder with others and pushing back against a cruel, incompetent administration.
