Happy 4th of July from the Sweetwater Valley Civic Association! 🇺🇸

Today, we celebrate the birth of our great nation with hearts full of gratitude—for our freedoms, our shared values, and the incredible community we’re proud to call home. Bonita is more than just a place on the map—it’s a vibrant and growing neighborhood where neighbors look out for one another, families put down roots, and community spirit thrives.

As we gather to enjoy fireworks, BBQs, and time with loved ones, let’s reflect on how far we’ve come and the bright future ahead. Together, we’ve built a foundation of civic pride, growth, and prosperity—and we’re just getting started.

Here’s to continuing that momentum and strengthening the bonds that make Bonita such a special part of the American story.

🛡️ Protecting Survivors: New Bills to Fight Abuse & Trafficking 🚨

In a powerful step forward for victims' rights and public safety, the California State Assembly has passed two critical bills authored and championed by Assemblymember David Alvarez (D-San Diego) aimed at protecting survivors of stalking, domestic violence, and child sex trafficking.

Assembly Bill 358 addresses long-standing delays in accessing vital digital evidence—like surveillance footage and GPS data—that can be crucial for restraining orders and criminal investigations. Meanwhile, Assembly Bill 379 increases penalties for those convicted of trafficking minors, strengthening California’s response to one of the most horrific crimes in our society.

With the support of San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan, both bills underscore the state’s commitment to delivering swift justice, empowering survivors, and holding perpetrators accountable.
