Triple Recall Rally at Will Rogers Beach Saturday 7/31 feat. Larry Elder
| Pacific Palisades, CA – On Saturday July 31st, at 9 am, at the Will Rogers Beach, Asian Industry B2B (aib2b.org) will be bringing together various grassroots groups and individuals supporting the Triple Recall happening at that location: for City Councilman Mike Bonin, District Attorney George Gascon and Governor Gavin Newsom.
Date: Saturday, July 31st, 2021 Keynote speaker is media personality and longtime talk radio celebrity Larry Elder, who announced his candidacy for governor in the September 14th election and is now the frontrunner according to two polls: Emerson and Berkeley, where he leads by double digits. Elder was met with controversy after the Secretary of State left him off the original list of candidates released last Friday. By court order, he was put back on and he will be our event’s keynote speaker. Private citizen Betty Tom Chu, Founder of East West Bank and previously Mayor of Monterey Park will also speak as a winning party as private citizen to the lawsuit to get Larry back on the ballot. Registered voters will be mailed ballots in mid-August for the upcoming election. Two other recalls are in the petition stage. Volunteers of both the Recall Bonin and Recall Gascon Now campaigns will be present for voters to sign to push special elections, similar to the statewide Recall Newsom one. Deputy DA John McKinney will speak on the Recall Gascon effort and the crimes not being prosecuted. He will be joined by Emma Rivas, an advocate for mothers of murdered children and Gascon voter, to speak on her “buyer’s remorse”, now that the killer of her son will be eligible for release back into the streets due to Gascon’s policies. Domestic workers advocate Carmel Foster will speak about the state’s AB5 bill, which she was the citizen testimony for, and also expresses buyer’s remorse. She is now endorsing Elder for Governor, and so is Monterey Park City Councilman Mitchell Ing. Both are Democrats and are prioritizing issues over party and will speak on the issues that matter to them. Finally, concerned voices from the Hispanic community will speak including Alfred Cuellar, a father, who will express concerns about public school education quality. Organizer Marc Ang says, “This special spot we congregate in is ground zero for 3 recalls and the image of a beach that has been overrun by homeless encampments. Mike Bonin’s policies and moves as a councilman have angered citizens of all party affiliations, including his own Democrats, because of bad policy and moving the homeless around with no consequence to the residents of the city or the homeless themselves. Gascon’s policies are similarly not helping – not prosecuting allows situations like meth labs in front of elementary schools, which is what propelled key proponents of the Bonin recall to get politically active. Finally, overall state policies like Prop 47 have exacerbated problems and we have a governor who is more concerned about partisan food fights and hypocritical displays of power and elitism than solving on-the-ground issues. Our crowd is mostly Democratic today, including city councilman Mitchell Ing, key advocates like Foster, Rivas and many more. We are “post partisan”, and while we all don’t share the same views, many of us are here to support common solutions, and some of us are proposing a bold and much needed change with Larry Elder leading the way to replace Newsom.” |
