[colette@greencorps.org: Join us to launch the Save CA Solar Campaign!]
by Igor Serebryany 15 Sep '21

15 Sep '21

Hi Folks, Many people on this list are probably in California, and, beyond the recall (fingers crossed!), there are many ways to be involved in local politics. A particularly pressing issue right now is the investor-owned-utilities' push in California to create a new Net Metering standard that dis-incentivizes installing solar panels. More information here: https://www.savecaliforniasolar.org/faqs I'm planning to go to this event on Thursday, and beyond that I'm already calling Governor Newsom, the CPUC, and my representatives in the state assembly and senate. Make your voice heard! <3, --igor ----- Forwarded message from colette <colette(a)greencorps.org> ----- Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2021 18:04:56 -0700 (PDT) From: colette <colette(a)greencorps.org> To: berkeleyclimate <berkeleyclimate(a)googlegroups.com> Subject: Join us to launch the Save CA Solar Campaign!

My name is Colette, I am an organizer with the SaveCASolar campaign in Berkeley . I'm sure I have met quite a few of you at Berkeley's famers markets the past few weeks. We are launching our campaign this Thursday at our kickoff meeting, and I would love to invite everyone! Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions at 909-582-8058 or [1]col...(a)solarrights.org. The information for the meeting is below! Save CA Solar - Bay Area Campaign Kickoff Meeting The 3 big utilities including PG&E are lobbying to make it too expensive for people to get solar panels on their homes. This is very harmful for California and all of its residents. We should be working to help millions of people get solar, whether they rent or own their home, so people can cut their energy bills, avoid blackouts, and clean up the air. This January, the state will decide whether or not to cave to utility lobbying. To fight back against the utilities and harness the power of the sun for everyone, we’re launching an exciting grassroots movement campaign right here in Berkeley where we’ll be holding Days of Action, organizing media events, building a local coalition, gathering petitions and more to protect solar energy. But to make it happen, we need a lot of people involved. Join us for our fall kickoff meeting! What: Save CA Solar - Bay Area Kickoff Meeting When: Thursday, September 16, 7-8 pm PT Where: Zoom ([2]RSVP[3] ) Join Zoom Meeting [4]https://publicinterestnetwork-org.zoom.us/j/91482072900? pwd=eWhKYnIrUUsvTzV2T25NbkN6YWkrQT09 Meeting ID: 914 8207 2900 Passcode: y?S25WL[ We will discuss our strategy, tactics and goals for the upcoming months, and brainstorm campaign plans for our volunteer network.

phone banking for the California governor recall
by Stacey Svetlichnaya 24 Aug '21

24 Aug '21

Hi folks, Some of us at Chrysalis are joining this phone bank <https://www.mobilize.us/swingleft/event/404576> for the California governor recall (so we can avoid getting a Republican governor). This might be an uncomfortably close election, and I think this is a high-impact opportunity. The event is here: https://www.mobilize.us/swingleft/event/404576 and the options are generally *Wed 6-8pm or Sat 10am-12pm up until Sept 14* (some of us joining this Wed Aug 25 and this Sat Aug 28) I've done a number (ha) of phone banks with various orgs and I bet this will be one of the friendliest possible audiences! <3S P.S. it's of course also important to vote—please do and remind your friends!!

Drivers Cooperative: worker-owned alternative to Uber/Lyft
by Christopher Lin 19 Aug '21

19 Aug '21

Hi friends, I recently invested in The Drivers Cooperative, a new worker-owned/operated ridehailing service in NYC. They're still actively fundraising, and although it's not quite a "giving" opportunity, Stacey encouraged me to tell the folks on this list! So, allow me to give you the pitch! [image: coop-ride2.webp] *Why invest in The Drivers Cooperative?* * Drivers keep 85% of the fare vs. 60% on average with Uber/Lyft. * The company is 100% driver-owned and -operated. Any profits are shared amongst driver-owners rather than disproportionately benefiting executives and VCs, and drivers take part in decision-making. * A successful ridehailing cooperative in NYC will create interest in more such cooperatives in other metro areas, including the SF Bay Area! It will also create interest in making cooperatives work in other industries. *Can they really compete with Uber/Lyft?* * Yes, the app works! I personally used it several times on a recent visit to NYC (early July, a month after their launch). Most of the time, I was matched with a driver with only a 7-minute wait time, and a slightly lower price than what Uber/Lyft offered. I talked to the drivers about their experience, and they were universally over-the-moon excited about the company. There were a few times the app could not find a nearby driver, in which case it was easy to turn to Lyft as a backup. I anticipate that a significant segment of riders like you and me will prefer Coop Ride for ethical and price reasons, knowing that they can always fall back to Lyft/Uber if for some reason a particular ride request doesn't work out. * They've put together a high-quality software engineering team including former Facebook employees. * The NYC ridehail market is so huge, and they've worked out the unit economics enough, that they only need 0.2% market share to break even. (Details in their deck, linked below.) *How does the investment bit work?* * The minimum investment is $100. * The first three years of your investment are a grace period for the company during which you won't receive payments. * Starting in Year 4, you are paid back on a quarterly basis. 2.5% of quarterly revenues after driver payouts are reserved for investors. You will be paid every quarter until you have been paid back 250% of your investment. For example, if you invest $100, you will be paid a small amount every quarter until you have been paid back $250 total. (Their deck, linked below, includes several examples of payback schedules.) *Interested?* * Check out their deck and fundraising campaign at https://wefunder.com/driverscoop! * Email me with any questions or concerns! Happy to answer. * If you do end up investing, please let me know, it would put a smile on my face and also let me know that this email accomplished something :) Thanks for reading! I'm excited to support companies that share power amongst all workers and simultaneously provide high-quality service to the general public, and I hope that some of you will join me in this effort. <3 Topher

Paper on climate justice giving
by Lindley Mease 28 Jul '21

28 Jul '21

Dear friends who care about climate, First, I *love * that this community has continued to flourish and exchange. Keep it coming! I'm reaching out to share a resource on climate giving. Solomé Lemma (my kickass boss lady) and I were tasked with writing a paper about 'why climate justice' for funders. Although the audience is traditional funders, I think the majority of it is quite useful for folks seeking to connect the dots between the root causes of climate change (white supremacy, colonialism, capitalism, and heteropatriarchy), grassroots movements, and climate justice. It was such a sweet exercise for me to lay out the definitions, framing, and research that might inform more strategic giving! I hope it might be useful to a few of you. <3 -- Lindley Mease 206-482-6104 she/they Huichin Ohlone Land/Bay Area Walls turned sideways are bridges. - Angela Davis

We drove our kids to the mountains, and my plan was to take the day "off"; to not think about climate; to enjoy my family and nature; to refuel. But it was 113℉, we were dodging wildfire smoke, and our EV battery drained faster than expected. Of course, we're fortunate and I was thinking about folks without respite from the heat, and without HEPA filters for the smoke. I was thinking about the Exxon tapes <https://climatechangemakers.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=694082bcf5db…>, and about the 2030 version of summer in the American West. Let's just say I was not *not thinking about climate*, and I was not winning. And it felt pretty lousy, because I'm used to grabbing the bull by its horns and kicking its ass, which feels… pretty great. > > Today, I'm back in my element, taking action. I'm filled with hope, optimism, and fight, and I'm super fired up to make as big of a dent in this big carbon pollution challenge as humanly possible, alongside this inspiring community of changemakers. And I'm extra fired up for TWO (2!) US Hours of Action each week going forward; this week focused on stopping the nonsense of new fossil fuel projects. The fossil fuel projects *already online* are plenty to contend with.

call your senator re: climate funding
by Igor Serebryany 16 Jul '21

16 Jul '21

Hi folks! Some good news, for once: Senate Democrats put together a $3.5T budget package that includes basically the entirety of Biden's climate agenda. This is the biggest thing since Roosevelt's New Deal. Act now, and get everyone you know to act now, to get this bill passed through the Senate. More information on the package, including details and scripts for what to say to your Senator: https://call4climate.com/ They include a phone number which asks for your zip code. Or, if you're in California, call directly: Dianne Feinstein -- (202) 224 - 3841 Alex Padilla -- (202) 224–3553 It only takes 5 minutes, and it makes a huge difference! Reply to this thread when you've called, to keep the momentum up. Post on your FaceTokGrams or whathaveyous to spread the word even more! <3, --igor ----- Forwarded message from "Sam Ricketts, Evergreen Action" <hello(a)evergreenaction.com> ----- Date: Fri, 16 Jul 2021 16:16:16 +0000 From: "Sam Ricketts, Evergreen Action" <hello(a)evergreenaction.com> To: igor serebryany <igor47(a)moomers.org> Subject: Great news Earlier this week, we got some great news: Senate Democrats put forth a $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation package, and it includes two of the policies we've been rallying for together: a Clean Electricity Standard (CES) and a Civilian Climate Corps (CCC). Activists across the climate movement have been pushing for these plans for years, and Joe Biden campaigned and won on them. This reconciliation bill is Senate Democrats' best chance to deliver on those promises, setting America on course for 100% clean electricity by 2035 and putting millions of Americans to work building climate solutions in their own communities. In addition to a federal CES and CCC, we need major investments to address environmental injustice, and we need to eliminate all direct, taxpayer-funded handouts to fossil fuel corporations. Only then will American truly be on the path to a just, inclusive clean energy recovery. So here's what each and every one of us who cares about climate action needs to do: Call your senator today to tell them you support transformational climate investments in the reconciliation bill...and they should, too. [2]Click here to get a script, and call 202-318-1885 to reach your senator and make your voice heard! [3]CALL YOUR SENATOR Now is the time.

important updates on S.1
by Igor Serebryany 18 Jun '21

18 Jun '21

hi folks. thanks for reading this email. i think it's critically important that you, and everyone you know, takes action on S1 this week. tl;dr -- call 888-453-3211 and the automated system will tell you what to do next! s1, the senate version of the "for the people" act, is heading to a vote on the senate floor next week. this is definitely going to be an uphill battle -- republicans have vowed to oppose this bill with everything they've got -- but i also believe that if we don't pass this bill, democrats will be locked out of power in DC for a decade or more thanks to partisan redistricting, restrictive voter legislation, pressure on election officials, and straight-up overturning of elections by republican state legislations. stacey abram's fair fight is recommending calling every day this week. our senator's unconditional support -- esp from feinstein -- is not guaranteed, so your voice makes an unusually big difference here for a california resident (which i'm assuming you are). i'll be calling every day this week, as suggested below. --igor ----- Forwarded message from Team Fair Fight Action <info(a)fairfightaction.com> ----- Date: Fri, 18 Jun 2021 10:37:22 -0400 From: Team Fair Fight Action <info(a)fairfightaction.com> To: igor serebryany <igor47(a)moomers.org> Subject: THANK YOU for your work to help pass the For the People Act—here’s what YOU can do next X-Spam-Status: No, score=3.6 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_99,BAYES_999,DKIM_SIGNED, DKIM_VALID,DKIM_VALID_AU,HTML_FONT_LOW_CONTRAST,HTML_MESSAGE, RCVD_IN_DNSWL_NONE,RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_H3,RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_WL,SPF_HELO_NONE autolearn=no autolearn_force=no version=3.4.4 Your Senators need to hear from you all #HotCallSummer [291305860] [1][ffa-logo] igor, THANK YOU for joining us last night for our Hot Call Summer: Southwest Town Hall. We had hundreds of folks tune in last night to learn how they can help make sure the U.S. Senate passes the For the People Act. Last night we heard from Fair Fight Action Founder Stacey Abrams, Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, and Nevada Assembly Speaker Jason Frierson about how the most important thing you can do to help protect your freedom to vote—no matter where you live—is to contact your U.S. Senators and let them know that YOU want them to pass the For the People Act, also known as S 1/HR 1. Missed the event? Don’t sweat it! In addition to sharing highlights from the event on Twitter, you can: • Call your U.S. Senators at 888-453-3211 every.single.day between now and next week’s vote. • Join Fair Fight Action’s text bank days of action on June 21, 22 and 23 to ask voters in key states to call their Senators about passing the For the People Act. □ If you have not already attended Fair Fight Action’s text training on our new text platform, Impactive, [2]sign up for a training here to everything you’ll need to join one of these textbanks. • Visit [3]StopJimCrow2.com to learn more about the For the People Act and other ways you can take action today! Thanks to the hard work of Democracy Warriors like yourself, since kicking off the Hot Call Summer campaign last week you all have made over 20,000 calls to Senators in addition to sending over ONE MILLION texts to encourage even more folks to make calls. Now is the time to keep the pressure on! Together we can protect our freedom to vote by demanding that our Senators support the For the People Act when it goes up for a vote NEXT WEEK. Thank you for all your hard work—now keep hitting the phones! Team Fair Fight Action PS, help Fair Fight Action document voter suppression to advocate for federal legislation like the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act!

There are currently 39 pieces of anti-voting legislation in the Michigan state legislature that seek to limit Michigan voters' ability to cast a ballot, and we need your help to oppose them! Join us as we call Michigan voters to make them aware of this effort to suppress their vote and their voice. We'll ask them to contact their legislators to urge them to oppose any and all attacks on voting rights." > Begin forwarded message: > > From: Monique with Sierra Club Political Team via Mobilize <messages+26ae5b3378ddc9131bb9(a)mobilize.us> > > > You are receiving this message because you previously attended an event by this host. > > Monique with Sierra Club Political Team > Organizer > Good morning, > > This past week, volunteers worked together to call hundreds of Michiganders and ask them to urge their legislators to protect the right to vote.

Hi folks, Hope you're doing as well as possible <3 This is a reminder/invitation: the 30 friends activism group is starting back up this Sunday April 25, 2pm-3:30pm. Now that the election is over, we're focusing on the long-term next steps and concrete actions in every meeting to support the shifts on climate change, social justice, democracy, etc that our country needs. All are welcome to join us for this relaunch! If you're looking for a way to be regularly engaged in activism (while having fun with friends), I highly recommend this one :) I know this email list has a bunch of overlap and many of you already know about/are part of 30 friends (hi! thank you!!), and I hope the redundant reminder is ok :) <3S ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Zoe Young <zoe.o.young(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Apr 20, 2021 at 8:58 AM Subject: 30 Friends - Zoom Link for Sunday's Meeting!!

To keep up that streak, each monthly(ish) meeting will include an action hour, so that the meeting itself becomes a chance to get shit done. You should already have a calendar invite in your inbox. It's on! Zoe
