This month\u2019s News<\/span> Flash<\/span> highlights two important issues we’ll discuss at 350 Humboldt\u2019s General Meeting on Thursday, February<\/span> 20, 6 PM at El Chipotle<\/strong> restaurant at 850 Crescent Way in Arcata. <\/strong><\/p>\n One is our participation in the national campaign<\/strong> to stem the tide of investment in fossil fuels<\/strong> by the wealthy. The other is the effort to bring climate-friendly buildings to Arcata <\/strong>\u2014 a city that\u2019s already declared a climate emergency but appears stalled in responding to it. First \u2026<\/strong> \u00a0Help plan the Thursday, April 23 Day of Action<\/strong> 350.org<\/a>, Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth, and many other environmental groups plan a Day of Action on April 23 to protest and shame Chase Manhatten Bank, Liberty Mutual Insurance, and \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 BlackRock asset managers.<\/p>\n 350 Humboldt will participate locally in support of the national campaign.<\/strong> Please come learn more at our General Meeting on Thursday, February<\/span> 20, at 6 PM at El Chipotle restaurant at 850 Crescent Way.

It\u2019s also a measure that 23 other cities and counties in California have passed.<\/p>\n But no ordinance has been passed, and in recent months several city council members have distanced themselves from that goal. <\/strong><\/p>\n We\u2019ll talk about how to respond to this. You can help by emailing the city council members. Ask them to support this measure. It’s the very least we can do in facing a climate emergency!<\/strong><\/p>\n Brett Watson at bwatson@cityofarcata.org<\/a> We look forward to seeing you on Thursday, February<\/span> 20, 6 PM at El Chipotle restaurant!<\/strong><\/p>\n Pat Carr for 350 Humboldt<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This month\u2019s News Flash highlights two important issues we’ll discuss at 350 Humboldt\u2019s General Meeting on Thursday, February 20, 6…<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-373","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
