350 Humboldt is a grass roots affiliate of 350.org. Until the pandemic hit we were a Humboldt County group, with monthly meetings in Arcata CA and local actions throughout the County. Now everything happens online, so it doesn’t really matter where people are physically.
We have a monthly meeting (on Zoom), send out a monthly newsletters called News Flash, and send out requests for people to take action on specific issues. We also have committees that meet on their own schedule: a book club, an art committee, a small social media group, a committee for local issues and one for legislation and national/regional issues. We also present a speaker on the first Monday of the month on alternate months. The next one will be October 5th and will feature Ciara Emery speaking about her research with offshore wind stakeholders. All these activities are virtual for the foreseeable future.
You are receiving this introduction to the group because Action Network, the platform we use for emails and petitions, assigned us 200 new email recipients, including you. The process is a little mysterious but is supposed to result in people from Humboldt County getting assigned to 350 Humboldt if they sign a climate petition or letter sponsored by another group that uses Action Network. In this case, all 200 new people live outside of Humboldt County!
If you are interested in what we are doing we welcome you wherever you live. If it is too much of a stretch, you can unsubscribe using the link in this email.
