Jorjorian, a Davis resident and parent of two DJUSD students, has long been active in support of immigrant communities in Yolo County, particularly since the election of Donald Trump as president in 2016, and was, as she often is, moved to action.

Welcome 2020: Join a group or volunteer for one
Support Local Journalism
Editor’s note: If you know of a group we missed, or of a new organization just starting, send a news release to fgladdis@davisenterprise.net. We’ll include the information in one of our regular editions.
Being a Davis resident means being involved. For newcomers or longtime locals looking for connections, there are plenty of adult organizations, clubs and political causes. For those who want to lend a hand or further a cause, there are lots of volunteer opportunities that make a difference.
The activities of many of the following organizations are announced in the Briefly column or Community Calendar, or elsewhere in the pages of The Enterprise. Keep reading the paper, check online, and feel at home in the community.
In March of 1965, Davis Community Church’s pastor at the time, the Rev. Dewey Pruitt, boarded a bus with people from around the country. He marched the 54-mile highway from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama to leverage his whiteness for the sake of justice and equality for black Americans.
Ever since, DCC has worked to balance the scales of justice for all Americans. These last few years, our advocacy for immigrants, DACA status students, and the Black Lives Matter movement has meant, among many things, that we post banners here in our downtown location to promote justice, equality, and leverage what power we have to end discrimination and declare that the injustices for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color must end. We’re working to birth a new era here in Davis.
