What we’re about
Welcome! Discover Lodi is your new source for fun and politically progressive events.
Although Lodi used to be solidly (R), the many new folks moving in from Stockton and the Bay Area mean growing fellowship for liberals and progressives.
Together we'll "Party With a Purpose" as we create a more welcoming, equitable Lodi.
If you're a traditional Democrat, Grassroots Progressive, or otherwise under the Big Blue Tent, join us!

Yes, there are Democrats in Lodi!
And there always have been. This stalwart group has seen it all through the years, including a cross burning at Tokay High School. And we've stood strong.
We're happy that recent meetings are swelling with newcomers!
Come see how "the sausage is made" -- how the Democratic Party's data and infrastructure get candidates elected and change made in Lodi.
We meet at the Lodi Public Library. Enter the main sliding glass doors and turn left. We'd love to meet you!

The Breakthrough Project for Social Justice was first created in 1998 on February 5th, after a burning cross and racial epithets were found spray-painted at Tokay High School. Members of the community felt compelled to form a group in Lodi aimed at speaking out against racism, and bigotry by celebrating diversity and promoting a greater understanding and tolerance of the wonderfully diverse ethnic, religious, and cultural groups in our community.
Since its conception in 1998, the group has taken an initiative with the Lodi Police Department to work as liaisons between the police department and members of the community who are victims of hate crimes. The Project now serves Lodi and the surrounding area by reaching out with compassion and sympathy to victims of hate crimes and working to prevent future hate crimes.The central aim of Breakthrough Project for Social Justice has been to spread the message of peace and unity, by recognizing and appreciating the towns diversity, and truly making Lodi lovable and livable for all.
