PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:

BACKGROUND:
City Council Member Sarah Martinez is requesting $1,200 to sponsor The Dig 2025: A
Contemporary Speakeasy starting February 26, 2025 at 6 pm. The Dig returns in 2025
with a powerful new installment, The Young Leaders Series, showcasing the voices of
our youngest and brightest community members. This dynamic speaker series is more
life. Following a troubling trend of declining civic engagementdocumented in Robert
this series
seeks to reverse the narrative by fostering a renewed sense of belonging and purpose
through shared stories and the simple act of breaking bread.
Over the past decade, participation in community-based clubs and organizations has
plummeted by up to 70%, eroding the hyper-local social capital that defines and
strengthens our communities. The Young Leaders Series aims to change that by offering
a space for our emerging leaders to share their unique perspectives on who we are, what
we have to say, and where we are heading. Hosted monthly in the welcoming Backroom
at the Senate Bar, these evenings of storytelling and connection promise to inspire and
uplift, reminding us all of the power of community and the importance of investing in the
voices that shape our future.
The 2025 lineup includes: Javier Quinones, Tyler Shown, Megan Moore, Shannon
Palmer, Jennifer de Groot, Gavin Grant, Vicy Stone, Jocelyn Martinez, Antonio Huerta,
Haley Sue Robinson, Molly Cotner, and Rachel Kutskill

Payment of funds in the amount of $1,200 would be paid from the Council Contingencies
