The March-April Channel Voter is Online. 

Inside you will find information about our April Community Forum on climate change, this month's Discussion Units about fake news, details about the May 13 Garden Party featuring LWVUS President Chris Carson, state and national Action Alerts, and much more. 

Come to the League office at 328 E. Carrillo Street, Suite A, this Monday, April 10, at noon to learn more about "fake news" and "alternative facts." This is a new location for the discussion unit which had been meeting at Valle Verde. Bring your lunch!

The Carpinteria unit will be Wednesday, April 12 at 10 a.m. at the Carpinteria Women's Club. There was a lively discussion last week at the Madam Lu unit.

 

Legislation is moving fast these days so it is hard to stay informed on every issue. The best way is to sign up for League updates and action alerts.

For the LWVUS, click here to get the latest alerts and to respond to the League's call for actions. Get the LWVC action alerts and help us advocate on critical policy issues here. 

This year, legislation is moving very fast so there are frequent Action Alerts. One surprising one is about a move toward a Constitutional Convention for a balanced-budget amendment. Read the reasons for the LWVUS position against such a convention.

Dr. Karl Hutterer, who teaches climate change for the Vistas Lifelong Learning program, will talk about what we are learning today about the rapid changes in climate and its effects around the world. Other panelists are: Cameron Gray from the Community Environmental Council, who will discuss innovations in controlling auto emissions; and Aeron Genet, the new director of the Air Pollution Control District, who will talk about new regulations controlling air quality in the state.

Please note that this forum will return to the Louise Lowry Davis Center. Bring friends and your lunch. Parking is free during the meeting. 

The event will be at the Santa Barbara Club, starting at 2:30 p.m. For more information and to purchase tickets call 564-6803 or send an email. LWVSB is a coalition member.
