Stop the #FakeNationalEmergency! Presidents’ Day Protest Ventura
Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/events/2474989142574688/

This is a NATIONAL EVENT!

DATE: President’s Day—Monday, 2/18 from noon to 1:30pm

LOCATION: The corner of Victoria and Telephone in Ventura in front of the Government Center (800 S Victoria Ave, Ventura)

DETAILS: Bring your flags, signs, dress in red, white, and blue – and show what real patriots look like!

Donald Trump has declared a #FakeNationalEmergency. This is an illegal power grab. In crisis moments like this, how the citizenry responds in the immediate aftermath can shape the course of our country’s history. That’s why MoveOn members and allies are launching hundreds of events all across the country.

Together, we will say NO to Trump’s power grabs, NO to his border wall, NO to xenophobia, and NO to HATE. Trump’s undemocratic power grab to secure his border wall is a direct attack on our democracy.

#FakeNationalEmergency is now in full swing.

Sponsored by: Sierra Club, Ventura Climate Hub, 350 Santa Barbara, CAUSE & allies

JUMP ON THE BUS on Saturday, September 8th, with a dynamic group of activists to march in SF and push government leaders to deal with global warming. Share this once-in-a-lifetime adventure with potentially 50,000 people. Experience the camaraderie of a mass of humanity who shares your goal of a thrivable and resilient planet. Take part in street art, music, chants and merriment. Buy your ticket here today.

350 VC Climate Hub has just put a $5 Low/No Income ticket to San Francisco at the Eventbrite Charter Bus ticket sales page for the Rise for Climate March on Saturday, September 8.

They have reserved a late model relatively low emissions Roadrunner Charter Bus out of Camarillo that will stop at the Unitarian-Universalist Church of Ventura at 11:30 pm next Friday, September 7, then pick up riders in Santa Barbara and Isla Vista and head north for an early morning drop-off at the Embarcadero in San Francisco.

Experienced march organizers (who did this in NYC and DC) plan a smooth pick-up. You will know where to show up at the time specified by your bus captain Amber Bassett (sometime between 3 and 5 pm) for the ride back home. You’ll get back to the UU Church around midnight. Your car is safe in the back parking lot for the day.

Pack your food and drink, including items you can leave on the bus–a pillow or two, blanket, hoodie, warm socks, maybe earplugs if you need to withdraw from the vibrant, soul-filled conversation of other riders. Pack whatever helps make the ride home more comfortable that you can feel OK leaving with your bus driver for the day. There is plenty of room for walkers and wheelchairs and strollers.

There will San Fran food trucks at the Embarcadero bus drop-off point and at the end of the march at the Civic Center where a Resource Fair of partner organizations, campaigns, and projects will showcase the work that they do, how they educate people about climate change and just transition, and where people can get involved in art, technology and economic structures for humanity’s regeneration.

The march needs us. The moment needs us to step out and shout for climate justice and a fair transition to a safe world.

Thousands have been learning songs from The Peace Poets up and down the coast during the past three weeks. Be with them singing.  The people gonna rise like the water, We’re gonna calm this crisis down. I hear the voice of my great grand-daughter singing ‘Keep It In the Ground’.

Sliding scale charter bus tickets now as low as $5 as well as $20, $50, $85 and $100 in order to fill all 55 seats on the bus. Tickets are available on Eventbrite at RISE FOR CLIMATE MARCH SAN FRANCISCO: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/rise-for-climate-march-san-francisco-tickets-48614002791

Be a climate rider on the bus leaving from Ventura, Santa Barbara or Isla Vista!

Support Community Choice Energy at Ventura City Council Meeting

Community Choice Energy, ventura city council Community Choice Energy

We believe we have the votes necessary but they need a big push to get staff to put it on the agenda in time. It would be so helpful if you would contact Ventura City Council members and come to this coming Monday’s Council meeting [Monday, December 4/TODAY] and ask when will it be on the agenda. Ventura City Council meeting starts at 6 pm TODAY, Monday, December 4, 2017.

When they put it on the agenda, has to be December 11, will you help us fill every seat with people saying we want choice to not be forced to buy our electricity from the monopoly investor owned utility and instead take advantage of this limited opportunity to start next year getting cheaper and cleaner electricity from Los Angeles Community Choice Energy.

*Arrive early to the City Council meeting and fill out a speaker card and give it to the Clerk at the front. You will be given anywhere from 1, 2 or 3 minutes to speak depending on how many speakers are signed in. Make it personal. Speak from the heart.

The time to act is now for Ventura County and its ten cities, especially Oxnard, to move ahead to join a Community Choice Energy Aggregation. The quickest option that promises greater immediate competitiveness with SoCalEdison is to join Los Angeles County Community Choice Energy or LACCE. Oxnard being the largest user of electricity of any city cannot afford to lose out on the benefits of local control of clean, resilient, cost-effective energy development. The long-range forecast with SoCalEdison is higher rates and less ambition to develop local renewable energy.

By choosing to join LACCE, every resident will have a choice of 30%, 50%, or 100% renewable energy in their electricity mix. The time to join, at no cost whatsoever to a City, is by Dec. 27, with a ninety day trial period in which Oxnard can opt-out with no consequence.

The feasibility of local jurisdictions competing with SoCalEdison is proven. Several cities and counties across the state already maintain successful CCE’s, including: Marin, Sonoma, San Francisco, San Mateo County, and Lancaster. The neighboring cities of Calabasas and Agoura Hills have signed up with LACCE.
