350 Bay Area Action’s Legislative Committee works to pass state legislation that reduces emissions while protecting our communities. We train and equip the team to dive deep into the issues, educate and lobby our elected officials, and testify at committee hearings.

Our dedicated Bill Policy Committee, a group of Legislative Team leaders and policy experts, review bills when they are introduced in either house of the California Legislature (Assembly or Senate) and decide which bills to actively support or oppose. The bills then go to the appropriate Action Team to be extensively researched and tracked throughout the legislative session.
We create and promote events, actions, and communications to move our supported bills forward and to rally opposition to bills with negative climate impacts.
