IMPORTANT LETTER FROM BILL MCKIBBEN
Read at: https://billmckibben.substack.com/p/your-money-is-your-carbon?
We need to pressure Chevron’s biggest institutional investors to ACT NOW and vote FOR Resolution #10 on May 25 at the Chevron AGM. This resolution would allow for concerned shareholders to force management to meet to discuss its environmental and human rights crimes. It is a critical step towards accountability.
Send your message to key chevron investors!
NRDC
Dangerous pipeline projects are in the works all across the U.S.
Many of these ill-conceived projects move forward thanks to a loophole known as Nationwide Permit 12 (NWP12) — a notoriously problematic license under the Clean Water Act that is used to fast-track pipelines without proper environmental review.
The Army Corps of Engineers is inviting public comments on NWP12 through May 27, so we have an important opportunity to close that loophole and help stop dangerous, climate-busting fossil fuel pipelines from seeing the light of day.

From Activate America (Formerly Flip the West): California Campaign
Sign up to postcard in CA-40. We’re postcarding Democratic voters in three districts who have missed elections before to make sure that they don’t sit this one out. You will be writing to support specific progressive candidates.
Third Act – Bill McKibben’s new group is postcarding
Let’s join together as Third Act’s Democracy Force to write postcards and mobilize voters in Arizona and Pennsylvania to request their vote-by-mail ballot in time for Midterm Primary Elections. Learn more below about why postcards and mail voting are vital and effective at increasing turnout.

Vote Forward: Here is a new advance in targeting letters to where they make most difference. If you write to voters, please take a look.
This year, we’re bringing back The Big Send—our biggest letter writing program of the year—with a goal of sending 10 million letters to voters ahead of the midterm elections this fall. And with you on our team, we’re confident we can make this happen. Because you’ve volunteered with us before, all you need to do to participate is keep writing! Just head over to your Vote Forward dashboard to download a batch of letters.
Postcards for swing states
We need your help to write 550,000 postcards to rally Democrats to vote in the Pennsylvania primary on May 17. Encouraging Democrats to make voting a habit now will ensure more of them will also vote in November.
Sign up now and we’ll mail you free postcards with the design below, along with instructions and voter lists. Volunteers need to provide the postcard stamps. You’ll pick from three messages that we’re testing as the first step of signing up. You’ll have until May 6 to finish writing the postcards.
Environmental Voter Project
Our next postcarding campaign will be to Colorado voters ahead of their June 28th state primary!
We’ll be sending postcards to environmental voters who voted in the 2020 General Election, but are unlikely to vote in midterm elections based on their previous voting history. We expect to begin mailing out packages of postcards to signed-up volunteers beginning in late March, and the required “mail-to-voters” date for this round of postcards is on Monday, June 6th.
This sign up form is only for trained EVP postcarding volunteers. New postcarding volunteers should sign up for an orientation below.
If you have not already attended an EVP postcard training, please sign up for one of the 45 minute trainings below. We use very specific designs and messaging that are optimized to increase turnout, so we require all our postcarding volunteers to receive an EVP training before sending postcards.
POSTCARD WRITING TO VOTERS ORGANIZED BY HUMBOLDT ACTIVIST FREDERICA AALTO
Here is Frederica describes what they are doing:
I am administering a postcarding network in Humboldt County (presently over 300 writers) and we supply postcards and stamps to writers, which are available for cost at several convenient pickup locations. Have anyone interested in joining us contact me. We mostly postcard for ROV (Reclaim Our Vote), which is non-partisan, but have also postcarded for Activate America (which used to be called Flip the West), which is partisan.
