RECALL ELECTION<\/h3>\n

There are many reasons not to buy into the right-wind recall campaign. The two biggest climate related reasons are a) Newsom has been at least a fair advocate for climate action and seems to be getting more committed while the likely Republicans are climate deniers; and b) the Governor gets to appoint Diane Feinstein\u2019s replacement were that necessary, ending our biggest chance for significant federal climate action \u2013 probably for years. VOTE NO on recalling Governor Newsom.<\/p>\n

NEW NEWSLETTER \u2013 NEW CLIMATE ORGANIZATION<\/h3>\n

Bill McKibben starts a new newsletter and a new organization for those of us in the last third of our lives. The newsletter is a \u201cpay if you\u201d can arrangement. Check out the introduction at: https:\/\/billmckibben.substack.com\/p\/weve-wasted-enough-decades?showWelcome=true<\/a><\/p>\n

ASK THE GOVERNOR TO SIGN CLIMATE LEGISLATION<\/h3>\n

350SV has made it very easy for us to ask the Governor to sign the climate bills that have made it through the Legislature:<\/p>\n

While several climate bills we’re following may receive their final votes in the next few days, right now two climate bills of consequence are ready for Governor Newsom’s signature: SB 68 (Becker)<\/a> and AB 881 (Gonazlez, et al)<\/a>. SB 68 would expand the focus of the California Energy Commission’s Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) program to include projects that “lead to technological advancements to reduce the costs of building electrifications”; and require the Commission to publish guidance on building electrification and EV charging equipment for all parties in the process of new building construction. AB 881 would rein in the use of plastics by making it harder for municipalities to claim recycling credit for exporting mixed plastics, which are often considered contaminated by overseas recyclers and subsequently burned.<\/p>\n

Use the letter form linked here <\/a>to ask Governor Newsom to sign SB 68 and AB 881 today. <\/em>Also check back frequently in the next ten days as the letter is updated to add other bills that pass the Legislature.<\/p>\n

POSTCARD WRITING TO VOTERS ORGANIZED BY HUMBOLDT ACTIVIST FREDERICA AALTO<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is Frederica describes what they are doing:<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

VOTING \u2013 VOTE FORWARD<\/strong><\/p>\n

https:\/\/votefwd.org\/campaigns<\/a><\/p>\n

The founder of World Letter Writing Day says: Never underestimate the power of writing a letter to someone. We agree. Writing Vote Forward letters on September 1 is a great way to make a powerful connection with a fellow voter and one of the most effective ways to encourage that voter to turn out to vote<\/a> in November.<\/p>\n

Virginia is winnable for Democrats this year, but recent polling shows the races are close. If Republicans win this fall, they will no doubt use a Virginia victory to propel them into the 2022 midterm elections.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s work together to make September 1 a record-setting day of letter writing to boost voter turnout in Virginia!<\/strong><\/p>\n

VOTING \u2013 POSTCARDS TO SWING STATES<\/strong><\/p>\n

IMPORTANT:<\/strong> The Postal Service is increasing postcard stamp prices on August 29th. The price will go up to $0.40 from the current $0.36. Here are a couple important things to know:<\/p>\n

You can use postcard stamps forever regardless of their current price, just like Forever Stamps.<\/p>\n

The easiest way to stock up on postcard stamps before the price increase is to buy them online from USPS here<\/a>. You can also buy them from your local post office.<\/p>\n

Prices for Forever Stamps also go up on the 29th, from $0.55 to $0.58.<\/p>\n

Please SIGN UP<\/a> to write postcards to make sure Democrats come out and vote. We\u2019ll send you the postcards, addresses and instructions for free. You provide $0.36 stamps and mail the cards. \u00a0A number of campaigns are available on the website.<\/p>\n

With the help of volunteers like you, we wrote 21 million postcards in 2020, and we saw incredible results! Voters who receive handwritten postcards are significantly more likely to vote. You can help us keep New Jersey and Virginia blue!<\/p>\n

WILDERNESS SOCIETY<\/h5>\n

Current laws make it easy for fossil fuel companies to drill on public lands. As a result, the industry has been exposing communities to pollution, harming our health and releasing dangerous climate change emissions.<\/p>\n

The historic budget reconciliation now being drafted is the perfect opportunity to fix this broken system and help ensure public lands are managed for people, not polluters. Click on this link: Public lands are for people, not polluters.<\/a><\/p>\n

STOP THE MONEY PIPELINE<\/strong><\/p>\n

BlackRock is the largest asset manager in the world \u2014 and it has both the power and responsibility to make sure that EVERY company it invests in is on track to reach net zero emissions by 2050.<\/p>\n

We need rapid, science-based steps toward decarbonization, not just vague plans and green marketing campaigns. If that\u2019s all BlackRock has to offer it may as well still be denying the immediate threat that climate change poses.<\/p>\n

Click here to send an email to BlackRock\u2019s leadership urging them to announce a science-based plan before COP26 for how their company will actually achieve net zero emissions.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

COALITION ON HUMAN NEEDS.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Voting rights in our country are under attack. The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act<\/em>, H.R.4, is an important step towards creating national voting standards\u2015ensuring that our voices are heard equally at the ballot box, no matter who we are or where we live.<\/p>\n

The House of Representatives, last week, passed this urgently needed legislation. Now, it must pass the Senate, where it faces steep opposition.<\/p>\n

Join CHN and our growing national coalition to demand the Senate to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act! Sign the petition today!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

SIERRA CLUB<\/h5>\n

This fall, we need to take another powerful leap forward. As a nation, we must ensure that the $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill includes funding to finally move the country toward a 100% clean energy economy.<\/p>\n

Take action to demand Congress support a budget package that transforms our energy system away from fossil fuels and into 100% clean, renewable energy for all.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

NRDC Needs 50,000 People Calling on the Biden Administration to Take Tough Climate Action by Strengthening Clean Car Standards<\/strong><\/p>\n
