Sacramento’s The Ring of Democracy non-profit is triggered!

The Ring of Democracy non-profit organization in Sacramento, CA that exists “to engage, educate, organize and mobilize Black, Brown, and other historically marginalized people to build power for themselves and their communities.”

Their agenda matches items typically found in leftist groups such as social justice, economic justice, housing justice, environmental justice, voting rights, and criminal justice reform.

They had a table at Sacramento’s Hmong American Day Celebration on May 11, 2024. City Council member Mai Vang was a sponsor of this event. Almost all of the tables were occupied by vendors or groups having strong ties to the Hmong and Asian communities.

As a political organization, I was curious why they were at this event, but I did not want to discuss their various justice advocacies. Instead, after some general conversation about their organization I asked a question specifically about the political power of non-marginalized people in Sacramento.

My question concerned how many non-marginalized people are members of the Sacramento City Council.

This question upset the lady at the table, but the man answered there is 1 member, Mayor Steinberg, who is a non-marginalized person on the city council; however, the other 8 are all marginalized people. I said this indicates success for them. The lady reacted by saying she needed to get help and I remained to talk about the man’s response with him, expecting her to return with some information.

Nothing was recorded during this early discussion. This video is a document of what happened after she returned with 3 members of event security, the Men in Black. The video and audio from that point to the end was recorded by my phone and is not edited.

The founder and executive director of The Ring of Democracy was called to help his table staff and he said they are now off limits to me because they are “flustered”.

I stopped recording but told them I would post what I recorded on the Internet before leaving.

I checked the Internet when I returned home to prepare this video and found the following on The Ring of Democracy. I used information and photos from their website:
