If you are feeling concerned & activated by recent news & events related to climate change & the new administration, come get your voice heard with the power of your pen. A letter writing group is forming to band together to write to legislators, editors, & business leaders about current issues from fossil fuel pipelines to clean energy, public land protection, & food justice. Elected representatives take hand written letters more seriously than email.
This week we will be writing letters to:
- the Air District, commenting on the draft 2017 Clean Air Plan, Spare the Air - Cool the Climate". This is an exciting development in regional air quality management that could pave the way for more cities and counties to follow suit. A sheet with bullet points about the plan and letter suggestions will be provided.
- EPA workers. Now that Mr. Pruitt has been officially assigned to EPA, we'll write letters to EPA employees and dept heads urging them to continue to fight for tough regulation of harmful emissions.
This is our second meeting. Newcomers are always welcome. Form letters, paper, post cards, & envelopes will be provided. We pool money for stamps. Please bring your pen & a friend! And please RSVP if you can.
Au Coquelet is a few blocks from the Downtown Berkeley BART station. Many bus lines are nearby. There are bike racks, and there should be street parking available for cars since it is after hours, & there are parking garages nearby as well.
