We are continuing our outdoor meetings at the Gazebo in Larson Park in Arcata. We meet at 6pm tomorrow, Thursday the 27th.

Meeting in person again has been fun, maybe especially sharing reactions with the poet who graces us with a poem each month.

Tomorrow we will be talking about all the ways in which we could expand our membership. The climate crisis just keeps getting worse, but we are not getting a lot more people to join with us. We will share some of the actions we are taking and brainstorm others.

We hope to see you tomorrow. Bring a chair as the Gazebo has no seating of its own! The full agenda is below.

350 Humboldt Steering Committee

 

350 Humboldt: Grass Roots Climate Action

Agenda: General Meeting July 27, Six PM, Larson Park Gazebo

Facilitator: Dan Chandler

Notes:  Martha Walden

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.”

For this reason we will send a donation to the Jamestown S’klallam Tribe, and Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, who are hosting the 2023 Tribal Climate Camp to support Tribal Delegates in the development of tribal plans and policies to address climate change impacts.
