This event is organized by Wellbeing Economy Alliance California. Reclaim our Power is building support for SB 332 to begin to move us from corporate for-profit utilities (PG&E, SC Edison) to local, community owned utilities. Reclaim Our Power has done extensive studies showing multiple benefits:  savings, reduced risk and building community “power” (the other type).

California Senate Bill 332 will be introduced in early April and WEAll California would like to help get organizations to sign on to their letter in support of the bill.

We invite you to a presentation on the details of the studies and benefits next Thursday, March 27 at 4pm

Reclaim Our Power will answer any questions you have.  You can learn more at https://reclaimourpowerca.org/

Join the Food Committee and welcome our new co-chairs, Cindy Cotter and Tatjana Kudla as we resume regular meetings after a 2-month hiatus. It's going to take two of us to replace the inimitable Jen Ho who has left LA for the "American Riviera." Our loss is Santa Barbara's gain. We have some ideas of our own about the direction we want to take, but we'd like to hear what you think. Come to listen, or come to share.

Ellie Cohen, the CEO of The Climate Center, will give a Zoom presentation at 2 p.m. on Feb. 13, talking about how California, the world’s 5th largest economy, can expand its leadership role in taking bold action for a climate-safe future.

Her talk will highlight recent climate science findings, the state’s recent successes and its priority climate policy challenges ahead. “What we do in California to address the climate crisis has a ripple effect across the world,” Cohen has said. “With a climate-denying, pro-oil administration soon to take control of the White House, California’s climate leadership is more important than ever.”

This event is being sponsored by Elders Climate Action’s Northern California chapter, but it’s open to all who are interested in helping, and all who register will be sent a recording of the event.
