Our Club has been on a remarkable run lately of exciting monthly meetings, record-breaking membership, expanded organizing muscle, and a growing reputation across California as one of the most active and effective Democratic clubs in the state. Now it’s time to meet this moment of fierce urgency in our nation’s history with the resolve that our Club’s reputation is built on.In times like these, Democratic clubs are more than our monthly meetings. We are organizing hubs and training grounds for volunteer teams heading into swing districts later this year to take back the House, and for the candidates who will run in crucial local elections that shape our communities.
That is why the Santa Monica Democratic Club is proud to announce the return of our signature fundraising event:
The 2026 Sammy Awards
We are thrilled to honor an extraordinary lineup of leaders:
- Representative Julia Brownley
- Los Angeles County Democratic Party Chair Mark Ramos
- Former Santa Monica Mayor Gleam Davis
- Reverend Janet McKeithen
Each of these honorees embodies the Santa Monica values we fight for every day: justice, equality, democracy, and opportunity. And in this moment, they represent something equally important: refusing to allow the status quo or the challenges of being in the minority to stop us from making real, effective change in people’s lives.
