Defeating Washington's Assault on Climate

Click here watch local, state, national and legal leaders urge actions in response to the current political crisis. Key points:

Make yourself heard at peaceful protests like the No Kings demonstrations this weekend.
Insist on fact-based governance and resist the rollback of science and public media.
Keep California the bastion of climate action, with rules of the road for EVs and heat pumps, and climate bond funds to counter federal cuts.
Support Marin leaders to provide more local funding and ordinances to keep on track.
Restoring democracy and the rule of law by legal action is key to guarding climate gains hard won by past administrations.
Talk up climate in civil conversations (in public and private) with citizens of all persuasions.
Make climate central to next year's midterms.

Hear Congressman Jared Huffman, ranking member, House Natural Resources Agency; Sara Aminzadeh, Deputy Secretary, CA Natural Resources Agency; Mary Sackett, Marin Supervisor; Colin O'Brien, Earthjustice.
