If you care about the environment and don't mind getting a little dirty, then this may be the perfect fit for you! Join us on August 9 from 8 a.m. – 11 a.m. for a riverbed clean-up in the Mission Valley Preserve. The River Rescue Team mobilizes to target trash for removal every Saturday, and for this date, we are looking for a few extra hands (no experience necessary!) to remove trash and debris from this sensitive habitat. We invite you to join us for just this date, but if you have a good time, ask us for more information about coming out for future River Rescue clean-up events! Each year, San Diego River Park Foundation volunteers remove more than 200,000 pounds of trash from our namesake waterway. Without our amazing volunteers, this trash would be left to pollute native animal habitats, parks and public spaces, leach contaminants into the water, and wash out into our ocean and beaches!

The Town Hall CA48 Deserves — Even If Darrell Issa Won’t Show Up Join Indivisible North County San Diego and our powerful coalition of regional grassroots groups for a dynamic, people-powered congressional town hall—the kind Representative Darrell Issa refuses to hold. In 2025, many Republican House members—including Issa—are dodging public accountability. They’re avoiding traditional town halls because they don’t want to answer tough questions about their voting records, their ties to extremist policies, and their refusal to represent the will of their constituents. But we believe democracy demands better. That’s why Rep. Sara Jacobs (CA-51) is stepping up and standing in. In a bold act of solidarity, she’s agreed to take questions from CA48 residents, speak directly to the issues impacting our community, and help strategize ways we can pressure Darrell Issa to do his job—or get out of the way. Have something to say? Submit your questions in advance for Rep. Jacobs. Submit your questions here. Want to make change? Show up, speak out, and stand together. This event will fill up fast. Reserve your spot today—because representation isn’t optional.
