Transportation Monthly Meeting
2025-08-17 10:30 - 12:00
Transportation Monthly Meeting

Transportation is the Bay Area’s biggest single source of greenhouse gas emissions – and emissions are expected to increase again as travel increases and transit ridership remains low. Localities, even those that have declared a climate emergency, are not meeting their climate goals.
Join us to work on electrifying transportation, supporting charging infrastructure, cleaner trucks, and providing safe, clean, cheap, convenient on-time transit for everyone. View the agenda here.

Get a crash course in the proposed project, it’s risks to our community, and why we are taking a stand against it with this recording from our Monthly Climate Action Meeting, featuring Theo LeQuesne of Center for Biological Diversity: Carbon Capture and Storage and our Fight to Stop the Montezuma Project.

When: Tuesday, September 9th, 11:45 AM

Polluters Pay Youth Walkout Adult Mentor Training
2025-09-09 18:00 - 19:00
On October 24th, young people across California will host school walkouts to say: “Youth Demand Climate Action!” and pressure legislators to support the Polluters Pay Climate Superfund, a California bill that would make the largest fossil fuel polluters pay for the climate damages they’ve caused. By filling out this form, we can connect you with youth who expressed interest in planning at their school, and resources to assist them in their planning process!

This role would start with attending an adult mentor training on Tuesday, September 9th from 6-7pm. You would then get paired with youth leaders at a middle school, high school, or college in your area and you would work with them one-on-one to provide guidance, mentorship, and help with anything they need to plan their walkout. This could include helping them with a timeline, outreach, supplies, logistics, negotiating with their school administration, and anything else they need help with. It would be around a 1-2 hour time commitment per week depending on the needs of your student mentee, with likely more help needed closer to October 24th.

Register for the training here.

California, Stand up to Big Oil Billionaires!
2025-09-21 11:00 - 16:00
Check out the event page and RSVP here!
As the United States braces for extreme heat, wildfires, and hurricanes, the Trump administration just rammed through a mega-bill defunding our communities to give handouts to billionaires. They’re dismantling our democracy, attacking immigrants, and feeding the war profiteers. The attacks on our people are directly tied to the attacks on our planet. The billionaire fascists are hoarding resources and leaving working class communities across the globe to face the impacts of the extreme weather and rising seas.

Among Trump’s billionaire buddies, a handful of Big Oil & Gas executives are raking in profits while the rest of us pay the price of rising costs, toxic pollution, and worsening climate disasters.
All across the world, authoritarian regimes are on the rise but people are fighting back. We are uniting across the world to demand a better future for our communities and for all living beings.

Shut down billionaires. Fund our future.
Shut down fascists. Protect migrants and the global majority.
Shut down polluters. Defend Mother Earth.

We are rising up for our people and our planet. Will you join us?
We are collaborating with the Sacramento Climate Justice / Sun Day 🌞 Festival, which will host info booths, workshops, kids activities and bands, including Mumbo Gumbo from 11am to 3pm.
At 3pm, the March to Make Billionaires Pay will begin!
