Hello friends!
As many of you know, last fall I enlisted the help of Jane Fonda here in Orange County to hold oil companies accountable for the environmental and economic damage they caused due to their oil spill. Jane knows firsthand that I will always fight to protect our environment, which is why she has endorsed my candidacy and invited me to participate in the Grace and Frankie Live Reunion fundraiser this Friday, October 28th at 5 PM! I could not be more thrilled to join Jane and Lily Tomlin for this special live reunion event!
Tickets for the event purchased through the link below will be split between my campaign and the Jane Fonda Climate PAC, which supports environmental champions like me running for public office. Please see Jane’s email below and hope to see you Friday.

As we prepare for the upcoming 2023-24 legislative year, we reflect on how we can best focus our advocacy to protect animals and the environment. We must continue to shape public policy to stop killing our wildlife, to stop killing our domestic animals, and to stop killing our planet.
The only way we can do that is with your help. We cannot thank you all enough for your past support. Your participation is essential for success!
We have not had a fundraiser in a few years due to Covid, but that does not mean we are not in need of funding to continue our work. As we head into the holiday season, please consider making a donation to support our vital work for upcoming two-year session.
Please donate to Social Compassion in Legislation (SCIL), our 501(c)(4), or Social Compassion, our 501(c)(3), when deciding where to invest your charitable dollars. Our two groups only exists with the donations provided by our supporters. It is because of you that we have been able to pass groundbreaking legislation that has saved the lives of millions of animals across the globe and provided humane education to thousands of children in California since our founding in 2007.
Please note you can donate to the 501c3 and receive a tax write-off, while donating to the 501c4 does not receive a write-off.
Thank you and Happy Holiday Season!
Judie Mancuso, founder/CEO/president
