350 Silicon Valley
The plastics crisis is a global crisis, and global action to resolve it is underway.
On February 28, the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) meeting in Nairobi will open negotiations to establish a committee to draft a legally binding international treaty on plastics. Rwanda and Peru have proposed a resolution that would address the full life cycle of plastic, including oil and gas extraction, manufacture, transportation, consumption, and disposal. Last week, the Biden Administration expressed its support of a comprehensive treaty. But the US must do more. It must take the lead in securing an effective and legally binding global agreement at the upcoming UNEA meeting.
Your help is urgently needed.Let President Biden and Secretary Blinken know that you expect them to fight hard for the strongest possible treaty.

91% of plastic is NOT recycled – but it’s not individuals’ faults!
Communities across the country can’t properly recycle plastics because they lack funding for recycling plants!
That’s why we need to invest in our recycling infrastructure. With fully-funded recycling programs, we can:
1. CUT greenhouse gas emissions.
2. CREATE over a MILLION new jobs.
3. DECREASE waste in our oceans and landfills.

NEW POSTCARD CAMPAIGN FOR WISCONSIN VOTERS:
From Activate America (Formerly Flip the West)
We are writing to likely Democrats in Wisconsin to let them know Democrats delivered on their promises with the new Infrastructure and Jobs Act. Wisconsin is widely considered to be the most vulnerable state in the Democrats’ “blue wall” for presidential elections. Then-candidate Joe Biden narrowly won the state in 2020 after Donald Trump won in 2016. But Republican Senator Ron Johnson is increasingly out of touch with reality.
Many voters do not pay attention to their elected officials’ voting records. Join Activate America (formerly Flip the West) as we write to Wisconsin voters and let them know how Johnson is voting against their interests.
You may also chose to write a similar message to voters in key CA congressional districts in Spanish or in English.

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.
