Our state legislature will be voting on important bills over the next two weeks. After the legislative votes, we will be asking you to contact Governor Newsom's office to request his signature on our endorsed bills. Stay tuned for more information . . . If you're not on our Legislative Team email list, we'd love for you to join so you can receive emails with timely Action Alerts directly from our Legislative Chairs in between newsletters. Contact Kathy Schaeffer to join this fun and informative group! Here's a current example: ACTION ALERT: The Trump administration has announced plans to obliterate the Roadless Rule, a landmark land-conservation policy that has protected many of the most pristine backcountry areas of our National Forest System against costly and harmful road building and logging since 2001. Sign the EarthJustice petition to save the Roadless Rule! |
