San Diego is home to a vibrant and diverse military community. It is more than a day off for the public; it is a day to reflect on the courage of the many men and women who have served and continue to serve our country. This Veterans Day, I encourage you to thank a veteran and attend the San Diego Veterans Day Parade, happening on Tuesday, November 11th, at 10:00 AM on Harbor Drive.
To our veterans: thank you for your sacrifice and for defending our freedoms. Happy Veterans Day.
Cheers,
Assemblymember Tasha Boerner
77th Assembly District
P.S. My office is available every day to talk with you about your concerns or help connect you with resources. You can reach us at (858) 481-7704 or Assemblymember.Boerner@assembly.ca.gov.
Día De Los Muertos
💀 Felíz Día De Los Muertos 💀
I was happy to participate in Encinitas' 12th annual Día De Los Muertos celebration! There was live mariachi music, vibrant ballet folklorico performances, Aztec dancers who blessed the gathering, and ofrendas, and much more! It was a beautiful celebration brought on by Encinitas Friends of the Arts to honor the rich cultural heritage of Latinos.

Know Your Rights
I understand that many of us are feeling angry in the face of what is happening in our local communities and across the country.

The California Immigrant Guide offers various resources in multiple languages to assist you or those you know. I know these are unprecedented times, and we will get through this.
