(In-person) From No Kings to May Day: Mass Non-Cooperation against Fossil-Fueled Fascism
2026-04-14 17:30 - 18:30
Fossil Fuels are the backbone of the extractive economy that exploits people and the planet for private profit. The US is experiencing the culmination of a billionaire takeover with Trump destroying decades of social and ecological progress to sell off our futures for the benefit of his Big Oil Billionaire buddies.
No Kings on March 28 marks the first step on the countdown to May Day, which will bring together the power of all of us who are not billionaires, led by labor and immigrant rights groups to demand an economy that works for all of us and for a livable planet.
Join our training to learn about:

The role of fossil fuels in upholding fascism
How we fight back through non-violent non-cooperation
How we build our solidarity and collective power as an anti-fossil fuels movement
Tools and skills on non-cooperation and recruiting our networks in this moment.

This page is for the virtual training sponsored by 350 Bay Area, Oil and Gas Action Network, Fossil Free California, and others.

Intro to Grassroots Campaigning for Climate Action
2026-04-25 13:30 - 14:30 | Berkeley Animal Rights Center – West, Berkeley
In the climate fight, people power is our biggest asset! However, it is not always easy to know how to use your voice to bring lasting political change. To bridge this gap between passion and action, 350 Bay Area is organizing a policy teach-in for SF Climate Week. This workshop will equip you with the tools to engage with and advocate for environmental change.
​Join us for an exciting presentation and workshop to:

​Learn about the Make Polluters Pay campaign

​Get involved in grassroots climate organizing

​Make friends in the climate space!

​Enjoy some delicious (vegan) snacks & refreshments

​The Make Polluters Pay campaign is an initiative to hold the largest fossil fuel companies financially accountable for the damage they cause to California’s environment. 350 Bay Area is one of many groups advocating for this crucial climate policy.
​This workshop is organized by 350 Bay Area’s mobilizing team. We are a group of youth and young adults who take tangible and collective climate action, raise awareness, and advocate for climate solutions.
​While our team is youth-led, we invite folks of all ages to join us for an afternoon of collective learning and movement-building!
​This event is free and open to the public. By registering for this event, you agree to share your registration information with the organizers of SF Climate Week.

Action Hour: No Big Oil Immunity
2026-04-29 17:00 - 18:00
This Wednesday at 5pm, we’re cosponsoring a No Immunity For Big Oil Grassroots Action Hour, where we’ll walk through all of the actions to oppose these bills together!

During this hour, we will walk through tools and then call & send emails to Congress members to tell them to oppose the Big Oil Immunity bill, introduced last week. There will also be breakouts for those wanting to write LTEs or make social media posts!
The facts: Hageman & Cruz have introduced two bills that are essentially a wish list for oil companies and grants them complete immunity. This bill effectively stops any state regulation on climate emission, including any Climate Superfund/Make Polluters Pay campaigns. We must tell our Congresspeople to oppose these bills.

Fossil Free Future Festival: Joyful Resistance to Chevron
2026-05-17 12:00 - 14:00 | Judge Carroll Park • w. cutting blvd and s. garrard blvd, Richmond, CA 94801 US
Chevron’s shadow has loomed over Richmond since its inception, but now we are dreaming of a future beyond fossil fuels, where Richmond is for the People, Not Chevron. We are moving from an extractive economy to a regenerative one, where our community owns its land, labor, and local food systems.
We are gathering for a rolling festival and concert: live music from local artists and a giant statue will roll through the streets of Richmond to uplift the struggles of indigenous land and water protectors, organizers from the front lines here in Richmond and across the continent, to Chevron’s role in attacks on Palestinians, and to bring art and joy to resisting Chevron’s attempts to shape our local and global economies for their shareholders’ profits.
This festival is a celebration of our collective power to build the “sacred middle” work of transformation—ensuring that as we phase out fossil fuels, we cultivate a regenerative society that returns power to the people and puts the health of our earth above corporate profit.

11:00am Indigenous Opening Ceremony at Keller Beach
12:00pm Festival at Judge Carroll Park
1:00pm – 2pm Rolling Festival March

This event will be the 13th annual gathering of Anti-Chevron Day, which historically has uplifted voices of communities around the world that seek accountability from the global oil giant for the destruction they have caused.

Sponsored by: Richmond Our Power Coalition, Idle No More SF Bay, Oil and Gas Action Network (OGAN), Rich City Rays, Amazon Watch, Asian Pacific Environmental Network (APEN), Tiny House Warriors, Fencelines Project, Arab Resource and Organizing Center (AROC), BDS Movement, Boycott Chevron Campaign, Sacred Places Institute, Richmond Shoreline Alliance, Richmond 4 Palestine and more.

Radicals, Realists, and Repression: The State of Activism in the U.S.
2026-05-21 18:30 - 21:00 | Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists: 1924 Cedar St. , Berkeley, CA 94709
Join us on May 21st at 6:30pm for a panel on Radicals, Realists, and Repression: The State of Activism in the US.
The panel will feature Prof. Thomas Zeitzoff, professor in the School of Public Affairs at American University and author of “No Option, But Sabotage,” Prof. Omar Wasow, Assistant Professor in UC Berkeley’s Department of Political Science, longtime environmental campaigner and organizer, and co-host of the Green and Red Podcast, Scott Parkin and Jason Myles, host of THIS IS REVOLUTION>podcast.
We’ve been in the midst of a serious rollback of first amendment protected activities. States are passing anti-protest legislation, police are increasingly militarized, surveillance is being drastically increased on activist groups and the Trump administration is turning activism into terrorism.
BUT, we are also seeing new large-scale resistance from the massive No Kings and May Day mobilizations to fierce resistance to ICE in Los Angeles, Chicago and Minneapolis, communities and movements are fighting back.The anti-AI Data Center movement has blurred political divides across the country. Activists are not only marching in the street and disrupting authoritarian forces, but actions at Tesla dealerships, Kimberly Clark warehouses, the offices of corporate war profiteers and other locations show a radical edge to today’s resistance.
This panel discussion will focus on the state of activism in the United States from its radicals to its realists, how the state is responding with repression, and understanding why movements and activists make the choices they do.
WHERE: The Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists; 1924 Cedar St. Berkeley CA
WHEN: May 21st, 2026. Doors open at 6:30pm. The event begins at 7pm.
