that one in particular, as of almost three years ago. Santa Monica Dems, Monkey Wrench Brigade, and more were organizing carpools of people heading up the 405 to the 25th district (now formerly republi-CON Steve Knight’s) to register voters, talk to people, lobby for change. Almost every weekend there was some kind of activity generated. Especially focused on the 25th district.

And all that work paid off! Similar efforts were focused on Orange County districts to the south. And they worked, too. The formerly rash-red OC is now all true-blue! But Lordy there was an avalanche of activism aimed specifically at District 25, republi-CON Steve Knight’s district. Not his district anymore, though!
