A few months ago, Tim Holmes, the owner of Zocalo Coffee House in San Leandro convened a number of community-minded individuals together with the idea of forming a group that would work to make San Leandro a better city for all. And so, the San Leandro Community Action Network (SLCAN) was born. The mission of the group is to improve the quality of life in San Leandro by ensuring quality education, smart growth, and an inclusive and equitable community. We are trying to improve the schools, encourage good development and keep bad development away and try to create a community where every culture and subculture feels not only welcomed but embraced.
So far our most visible activity has been a Mayoral candidates forum, which apparently was very useful. We plan to hold more before the next elections.
If you live in San Leandro, check us out. We will soon open the group for membership, for the time being you can sign up for our announcement list.
