When: Sunday, September 17th, 11am
Where: Old Sacramento, Corner of Front and J Sts., Sacramento, CA 95814

As part of a national effort to amplify the march in New York, there will be a supporting event on September 17th in Sacramento, aimed at getting Governor Newsom to do the right thing on climate. 

We call on all Californians to gather at the state Capitol to demand that our leaders, Biden and Newsom, stop permitting fossil fuels and make a plan to phase out oil and gas. This family-friendly action will feature a giant puppet show, carnival games, performers and speakers who will share how you can get involved in ending the era of Fossil Fuels and building a better future together. Contact the organizers to help bring this event to life!

Sign up to join the event on September 17th in Sacramento.

  The Carbon Conversations Fall Series starts Wednesday September 6, 2023  with Bikes as Transport             The City of Sebastopol and Sonoma County have just launched the process of updating the Bike & Pedestrian Master Plan (now known as the Active Transportation Plan (ATP)). Updating the ATP will provide a clearer vision toward shaping a Climate and People Friendly community, enhancing cycling features that enable folks to safely get around town on pedal power.

At 7pm  presentation and Q&A will begin with Dana Turrey, Sonoma County Transportaton Authority, and Eleanor Leshner, local plan consultant lead (partnering with Fehr & Peers), will present an overview of the plan update process, some technical analysis details, and opportunities for the public to provide input.   We’ll also hear from folks that routinely ride their bikes to get to work, school, or run errands around town, some with electric boost and some not.
