Please join us on zoom for our monthly general meeting, 6pm Thursday April 27. Luis Neuner of EPIC will be talking about his role at EPIC and thinking going on about the CAP. Poet Susanna Gibson will read a poem of hers. We’ll have a quick-action everyone can perform. And, since most of our work is done in committees, reports about Earth Day and other goings on. The full agenda is below. Here is the zoom link to use.

Land Acknowledgement: “350 Humboldt would like to acknowledge that where we live and hold our meetings in Humboldt County is on unceded territory and the ancestral homeland of indigenous nations which include Tolowa, Hupa, Karuk, Mattole, Wailaki, Wiyot, and Yurok.
We thank indigenous nations who have been caretakers of the land. Additionally, we recognize that the well-being of all people is bound up with that of indigenous peoples, and we must all take action on the climate.”
This month we are sending a donation to the Klamath River Renewal Project, a private corporation enabling the removal of dams in the Klamath. Both the Yurok and Karuk tribes are represented on their Board.
