POSTCARD WRITING TO VOTERS ORGANIZED BY HUMBOLDT ACTIVIST FREDERICA AALTA
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. At present, we have just finished postcarding Wisconsin, so are at a lull, but new campaigns will be starting soon for several states. 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.

OTHER LETTERS/PETITIONS
STOP THE MONEY PIPELINE
The good news is that some pension funds have begun to divest from fossil fuels. New York State just divested from tar sands, Minnesota is divesting from coal, and a number of states are moving forward divestment legislation.
That’s why we need to take action now and push as hard as possible for pension funds to divest entirely from fossil fuels, not just coal and tar sands. We need to stop investing in fossil fuels across the board.
NATIONAL CAMPAIGN FOR TRANSIT JUSTICE
Senator Sherrod Brown and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer recently introduced the Clean Transit for America plan to move our country’s public transit systems to zero-emission fleets.
This is an important step toward investing in public transit while addressing the climate crisis. As Chair of the Senate Banking Committee, Senator Brown plays a key role in advancing our goals of investing in public transit to lower carbon emissions while connecting people and communities to jobs, education, food, healthcare and more.
Together, let’s fight for increased funding for public transit to invest in a zero emission transit policy that addresses the climate crisis, increase routes and stops to make public transit accessible to more people, and eliminate or reduce transit fares to combat racial and economic inequity.

Today, more than two thousand water protectors are traveling from across the country to join frontline Indigenous leaders for the historic, three-day Treaty People Gathering in Northern Minnesota.
Instructions: Fill in your contact information and write a message in your own words about why you want Biden to take action to stop Line 3 tar sands pipeline.
Sample comment: “President Biden: Please stop the Line 3 tar sands pipeline. Like Keystone XL, this project is a threat to our climate and water and violates Native American treaty rights. You must take immediate action to stop the construction of Line 3 and invest in clean energy instead.”
350 FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE GROUP
We writing to ask you to help end fossil fuel subsidies. Such subsidies keep the fossil fuel industry in business, and make it easier for them to lobby Congress and block strong climate legislation. As noted by Senator Ed Markey, the 20 largest fossil fuel companies account for more than a third of global gas emissions in the modern era. Yet, such companies receive $15 billion per year in direct federal subsidies, and in 2020, spent more than $115 million lobbying Congress in defense of these giveaways — a 13,000% return on their investment!
Please call or email your Congressional representative (Rep. Jared Huffman) this week and ask that they cosponsor HR 2102, the End Polluter Welfare Act , and that they push for the bill to be included in the President’s American Jobs Plan. We have only a narrow window of time to make this happen.
