Anti-Poverty and Homelessness Impact Litigation and Access to Justice MoGo is committed to making a profound impact on the lives of the most vulnerable San Diegans. We empower marginalized and underserved community members directly impacted by racially-biased and discriminatory systems by initiating lawsuits on their behalf to make transformative policy and systems change and through access to justice programming.

Law enforcement data for San Diego show clear patterns of discriminatory policing by the San Diego Police and Sheriff’s Departments. Both departments disproportionately stop, search, and use force against Black people, Indigenous people, people of color, LGBTQ individuals, and individuals with disabilities. Stand with MoGo and the other members of the Coalition for Police Accountability and Transparency in demanding five data-driven police reforms that will reduce bias in policing.

Protecting San Diegans' Constitutional Rights MoGo is a proud member of the TRUST SD Coalition (Transparent and Responsible Use of Surveillance Technology - San Diego). TRUST SD originally formed to address the widespread and secretive use, installation, and acquisition of “smart streetlights” throughout San Diego County. Although the smart streetlights were sold to the San Diego City Council as an environmental project, entrepreneurial tool, and a way to help the City improve traffic safety and efficiency, it didn’t take long for their capabilities to be abused by our government. San Diego police began routinely using the video recording, audio, data collection, and artificial intelligence capabilities of the streetlights, with no regard for civil liberties and First Amendment rights. The San Diego Police Department wrote its own policies for accessing the footage from the Smart Streetlights, and in turn violated its own rules. TRUST SD led the call for community oversight of the use of all surveillance technology and strong, legally enforceable ordinances to address the constitutional and civil liberty issues. Accordingly, we wrote two ordinances that will put in place the community oversight, accountability, and transparency essential for our Democracy. Although the San Diego City Council unanimously approved the ordinances, community members must keep up the pressure to ensure that the ordinances are properly implemented and that our city officials adhere to the process as laid out in the ordinances and honor the spirit in which the ordinances were passed. We advocate for community-led solutions to all of the problems we face as a city. We are 100% community-centered and community-driven.

Ranked Choice Voting MoGo is a proud member of the More Choice San Diego (MCSD) Coalition, which is currently working to bring ranked choice voting to San Diego. Implementing ranked choice voting will better serve our community as it improves voter turnout, leads to more women and people of color being elected, and will save taxpayer money. Learn more about Ranked Choice Voting at morechoicesd.org and register for our Ranked Choice Voting Townhall at bit.ly/MoGo_RCV How will Ranked Choice Voting work? Five candidates, instead of just two, will advance from the primary election to the general election. If five candidates or fewer run for an office, the primary will be eliminated altogether and all candidates will automatically advance to the general election. In the general election, you can still vote for only one candidate OR you can rank candidates in order of preference. If a candidate wins a majority (over 50%) among the first-choice votes, that candidate is the winner. If no candidate wins a majority or more, the winning candidate is determined by ranked-choice voting.
