Awaken has abandoned their plan to establish a presence in Coronado. Your pressure forced them out and kept our community protected. Stay alert for any future attempts to return and keep checking the local board meeting agendas.

The organization called "Awaken" in San Diego is a radical cult that spreads disinformation, conspiracy theories, hate speech and intolerance. It has actively facilitated the disruption of school board meetings throughout the county, sought to infiltrate school boards, supported the Jan 6, 2020 insurrection, denounced democracy, vilified and dehumanized those with whom it disagrees and supports armed struggle to get its way.

Awaken is now seeking to open a full-time presence in Coronado. This will lead to more disruptions and attacks directed at Coronado's school board and elected officials, disparagement of our local churches and faith leaders, active recruitment in our community for Awaken's militia-style camps, and result in more unsuspecting Awaken followers being fleeced of their money and Coronado youth being subjected to indoctrination.

As residents of Coronado we say a resounding NO to the Awaken cult and will seek to do all in our power to ethically and energetically spread awareness of this group and seek to prevent it from establishing itself in our community.

Please sign our petition and lend your voice to our efforts.

We are approaching one thousand signatures and need a final surge to hit this milestone before we present our case to local officials. Copy the petition link to your Facebook feed right now and text it to three people in your contacts who care about our schools. We need everyone active today to show the town council that our community rejects this group.

I am gathering documentation on their recent activities to present to the city council. Post the link to this petition on your Facebook page today. Text three neighbors to warn them about the risks this group brings to our schools.

After 13 years of giving and serving I told leadership that they could not come to Coronado because they had gravely offended mt Coronado community. in response, they excommunicated me. They are divisive, deceptive and dishonest about their intentions.

I'm a former Coronado resident. My two children both graduated from Coronado High School. The masquerade of 'AWAKEN' as a church is disingenuous at best, and in actuality, a sick ruse. I support exposing their covert anti-democracy (hidden) agenda!

This group‘s influence in our community, and our school system is dangerous. They actively push for religious theories in public school. And their political goals include defunding public schools all together. And when the district already miss-manages school funds, this is the last thing we need.

Church? Not by any definition of Christianity I know. Cult? By all appearances, YES! Seeking a foothold in Coronado (1) exploit wealthy contributors and (2) recruit military/ex-military. Extremist and dangerous.

San Diego local for respect and human dignity. I want to live in a community where Christian nationalist hate is unacceptable.
