When Tubbs Fire hit, the county had no plan in place for how to get the animals out of the wildfire. Shelina teamed up with other community members and built a system that rescued thousands of animals out of Tubbs Fire, and tens of thousands since. Nicknamed "Team Badass", they're 100% volunteer group and an important resource for our community.

When Measure J targeted Sonoma County, Shelina banded together a team of farmers, restaurateurs, wineries, contractors, lawyers, local businesses, and other community members to make a memorable community building campaign to unite the people who grow the food with the people who eat the food. They helped get the word out to defeat Measure J 86% to 14%.

Shelina was on board when the Petaluma High Auto Shop was in jeopardy. Believing that hands-on classes help students, Shelina helped take the PHS auto shop from the chopping block to a classroom we can all be proud of, with full classes, that now makes parts for NASA! What a great opportunity for the youth of our community.

Petaluma has a unique downtown that has an allure all of its own. Shelina believes in community-led preservation, and that telling the stories of our past helps us cultivate a democratic future. She stepped up to help open the democratic process of public having a say in the future of our downtown, and will stand up for the unheard voices in our county.

During Covid when people couldn't get Milk & Eggs, Shelina Moreda started bottling milk on her family's dairy farm to supply Sonoma and Marin Counties with old fashioned contact-less "doorstep delivery" of wholesome favorites. She knows the importance of a strong local food system being able to pivot to provide for our communities. It also highlighted to her how much we all value a "connection to our food", and she wants to strengthen that connection.
