From The Sea, To The Mountains, To The Valleys, To The Deserts and Down To Baja

I'll see you at sunrise

I'm Ken Brucker. I ask for your consideration when you select the Local Chapter Coordinator of Southern California for the California National Party. As defined by the party's bylaws, I want to grow the places in California south of  35° 47′ 28″ / 35.791111° North latitude. That is a straight line that is the northern boundaries of San Bernardino, Kern and San Luis Obisbo counties.

Looking Forward

Some of the ways that I propose that we grow party membership and activism is doing plain, old retail organizing: loading up my minivan with my canopy, table, folding chairs, the party's handouts and banners, driving to meet people like you to talk to Californians about what we can do as an independent nation better and how we can reach that goal. We can also leverage technology to help us grow the movement in your community.

The party has a robust constituent management system with which we manage mailing lists, coordinate volunteers to staff events and manage donations. I'm working with the party's IT Director to develop that application to manage media contacts so that we can disseminate our own messaging about California independence instead of rogue actors in the movement driving the narrative about the movement. I also see that this can easily be converted to make a list of educators that we can reach out to so we can give presentations about the party and the movement.

Intersectionalism

If California nationalism is to succeed, it has to be many things. We need to be multicultural and take many interests into account. Tenemos que hablar en varios idiomas lo mejor que podemos a nuestros vecinos. If I could say that in Hmong, Tagalog, Farsi, Mandarin...and on down the list...I would. Not all women need the same things to be well and successful. There aren't just a few silver bullets what will solve California's problems, so we have to look at all of the issues. I want to work with you on creating solutions to those problems.

Experience with The Party

I'm not a plankowner in the party. I joined the party and started organizing San Diego County in January 2017. Since then, I have...

• written and printed material
• made presentations to groups about the movement
• organized and staffed many tents presenting the party:
• Beach Clean-Up in August, 2018
• December 2018 at the San Diego Stadium Swapmeet
• Late March 2019 at the Santa Fe Springs Swapmeet
• Solicited donations for and designed stand up banners
• Earth Fair, 2019 with lots of help from The Usual Suspects

Again, lots of people helped out with those events - you can see them in those pictures and I'm grateful to every one of them.

About Me

I'm a twice-married father of one son who is about to graduate from high school. I'm a graduate of U.C. Santa Barbara where I earned a B.A. in Communication Studies. I was awarded a certificate in Computer Information Sciences from the now-defunct Coleman College. I've lived in San Diego most of my life, but that was interrupted with stints in Isla Vista, Los Angeles (The Palms District) and Hayward. I currently work part-time as an independent contractor with ridesharing services (your first two guesses as to which business would probably be correct). I speak Spanish better than I can understand it.
