California Environmental voters is sponsoring a very important bill to require large corporations to report their carbon footprint. SB 253, introduced by Senator Scott Wiener, would require all large U.S.-based corporations doing business in California that make over $1 billion annually to publicly disclose their full carbon footprint in a way that is easily understandable and available to the public. For transparency and accountability, we need SB 253. More here: https://www.envirovoters.org/sb-253-climate-corporate-leadership-accountability-act/ Asm Jim Wood is not on board or hasn’t confirmed a yes vote. 350 Humboldt would like to get as many of our members as possible to a meeting with Asm Wood to express our support for the bill. Please fill out this form and California Environmental Voters will contact you. https://forms.gle/Fs2BUhxtCv7v1Aox8

GET OUT THE VOTE
There are now three active campaigns campaigns to influence voters to elect candidates who support climate action.
FIELD TEAM 6
The organization Field Team 6 is currently postcarding to register new voters. Here is a link telling you how to get started: https://fieldteam6.herokuapp.com/getting_started
VOTE FORWARD – New program in Ohio plus on-going programs for the fall elections: send letters
I’m ready to write |
POSTCARDS TO SWING STATES — New program for fall elections
In Virginia, we’ll write to rally Democrats to vote in 42 competitive state legislative districts this November. Democrats hold a narrow majority in the state Senate and Republicans hold a narrow majority in the House of Delegates. In Kentucky, our postcards will help Democratic Governor Andy Beshear win re-election in November.
Sign up HERE.
You’ll need to provide your own postcards and stamps for this program. We recommend progressivepostcards, an online store that sells postcards with several of our designs for less than most sellers. We’ll add designs specific to Virginia and Kentucky before sign-ups start, but you can buy general designs there anytime. After you sign up, we’ll email you a list of voters and instructions, which will include an October mailing date and three short message options.
FREDERICA AALTO
Another way to participate is to work with Frederica Aalto:
“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.”
She can be reached at: [email protected]
