Opening our coasts to offshore drilling jeopardizes human and ecological health, tourism, fishing livelihoods, and marine life — particularly in the Gulf of Mexico, where impacts of the Deepwater Horizon disaster can be felt to this day. Allowing new oil and gas development would also result in billions of tons of new greenhouse gas emissions at a time the world needs to urgently slash global emissions by ending reliance on fossil fuels. There is too much at stake.
We still have a chance to stop this.
We must ensure that President Biden keeps his promise to end offshore drilling.

Clean energy projects (wind, solar, storage, and more) are waiting years to get connected to the grid. But we don’t have that kind of time. And this isn’t just slowing clean energy down—it’s making it harder to avoid blackouts during extreme weather events like last year’s deadly winter storm in Texas.
But there’s good news: FERC is considering new rules that would speed up the queue and accelerate the just transition to a clean energy future. Sign an official public comment right now, and we’ll deliver it to FERC decision-makers!

350 Bay Area Action (new voter program)
Take action and take heart.
Send Out Postcards Now!
You are needed in our launch of post-primary phone calling and postcardingas we build voter strength for the midterm elections this November.
ACTIVATE AMERICA
There are large numbers of pro-choice Democrats in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and California who often skip midterm elections. We believe the right message on this issue can help motivate these voters. We have worked with Planned Parenthood and other experts to develop these scripts, so you can be assured that you are sending a tested message that will resonate with these voters.
This postcard program focuses on the fact that Senate candidates John Fetterman (D-PA) and Cheri Beasley (D-NC), as well as our CA House candidates, will vote to protect reproductive rights, while Republicans are pushing a nationwide abortion ban.
We’re also sending pro-choice postcards in five House districts in California, with more coming soon.
Want to join us? Sign up through the Mobilize link HERE.
Vote Forward
Vote Forward volunteers like you have “adopted” more than 1 million voters who will receive ‘please vote’ letters ahead of the midterms this fall!
This is incredible progress, but in order to reach our 10 million letter goal, we need your help. Please visit it us and sign up to write letters at: https://votefwd.org/
There are races all around the country we are writing for, including in California.
Third Act – Bill McKibben’s new group is postcarding

POSTCARD WRITING TO VOTERS ORGANIZED BY HUMBOLDT ACTIVIST FREDERICA AALTO
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. 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.
