Specter of Anti-Palestinian Politics in Emeryville ADEM Race
Breaking News
The Tattler has found an anti-Palestinian, Gaza genocide denying funding and influence connection in the local ‘ADEM’ Democratic Party delegate race reported this week. Four Emeryville residents are running in two posing slates as the Tattler reported. One of the two slates, called the ‘Housing and Climate Progressive Democratic Slate’, is paid by ‘California Jobs and Justice’, a Sacramento lobbying entity that itself is funded by the ‘Democratic Majority for Israel’ a Washington based lobbying organization that is Gaza genocide denying and anti-Palestinian. Emeryville residents Sam Gould and Regina Chagolla are both part of that slate.
The other slate in the ADEM race is the ‘People’s Slate’ and is the more progressive slate of the two, despite the word ‘progressive’ in the Housing and Climate Slate title. Emeryville residents Kalimah Priforce and Sarah Perez are among the People’s Slate members. Mr Priforce is an Emeryville City Council member and a current ADEM delegate for the 18th District. Regina Chagolla is an Emeryville school board member.
The 18th Assembly District Democratic Party delegates are charged with setting the Alameda County Democratic Party agenda and so it has been considered a powerful position and one that reflects East Bay Democratic Party values. The anti-Palestinian connection has not been reported openly by the Housing and Climate Slate, probably because that is not a popular position for East Bay Democrats.
