Because you can shop locally for almost anything

Rather than fi lling up an Amazon shopping cart, we can fi nd just about anything we’re looking for around town. Need an original gift in a pinch? We’ve got it: STRAPPING STORE (the fl agship store is at 3405 Broadway; (916) 477-3376; strap pingstore.com). Baby clothes and accessories? We’ve got it: JAM BABY (3330 Broadway; (916) 706-2472; shopjambaby.com). Vintage fi nds that don’t suck? We’ve got it: OLD GOLD (at WAL Public Market, 1104 R St.; (916) 761-5950; facebook.com/ shopoldgold). A new houseplant that we’re defi nitely not going to over-water this time? We’ve got it: PROPAGATE (1700 I St.; (916) 399-4804; propagatesac.com). Something new to read? We’ve got it: CAPITAL BOOKS ON K (1101 K St.; (916) 492-6657; capitalbooksonk.com). Home decor? We’ve got it: MIDTOWN BLISS HOME AND GIFTS , (2722 R St.; (916) 376-7319; vintage blissmarketplace.com). Costume apparel? We’ve got it: EVANGELINE’S (113 K St.; (916) 443-2181; evangelines.com). The point is, in Sacramento, every day is Small Business Saturday. Do you think we can make #Shopramento a thing?

Because Women Are Represented In Our Local Government

Women are historically underrepresented as government o cials, but that isn’t the case in the greater Sacramento area. A majority-women Sacramento City Council was elected for the second time in history at the end of 2022, the mayor and all four councilmembers of West Sacramento are women, and Sacramento’s county executive is Ann Edwards.
