350 Bay Area Action

Legislative Team Gathering - Learn About Sponsoring a Bill
2023-11-19 15:00 - 16:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Learn about what it takes to sponsor a bill
The 350 Bay Area Action Legislative team is exploring how we can strengthen our voice and build our political power. Let’s get together and learn about sponsoring a bill in addition to working with what legislators come up with. What would that entail? Join us on November 19th at 3pm on Zoom to find out.
We have invited Gary Lucks to to our Legislative Committee get-together to talk us through “Sponsoring a Bill 101” – including why we might do it, what it would entail, and how it’s different from the support and tracking that we currently do.

Everyone is invited to come and learn about this important approach that could increase the strength of our climate voice in California. In addition to being an accomplished environmental attorney, Gary is the author of several environmental policy textbooks, and has extensive legislative experience to share.

Legislative Team Meeting - Learn About Montezuma Carbon Capture & Storage
2023-09-10 15:00 - 17:00
Learn About Montezuma Carbon Capture & Storage

REGISTER HERE.

Carbon Dumping may be coming to the Bay Area, especially refinery communities. If you aren’t sure what that is, you are not alone. Another name for it is Carbon Capture and Storage. That sounds good at first glance. Who doesn’t want to get rid of the CO2 that is driving climate chaos? But did you know it has never worked? Did you know permanent storage may be for as little as 50 years? Did you know that a leak can be FATAL? YIKES!

Victoria Bogdan Tejeda, Staff Attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity, will talk about the proposed Contra Costa and Solano Montezuma Carbon Capture and Storage project that proposes to collect CO2 from four Bay Area refineries (Chevron, Valero, PBF and Marathon), two hydrogen plants, and four fossil gas-fueled power plants, and run the compressed carbon dioxide (CO2) via barges and pipeline under Suisun Bay to the injection site under the 3,200 acre Montezuma wetlands.

Victoria works as part of the Center for Biological Diversity’s Climate Law Institute to fight false climate solutions such as carbon capture and storage, as well as polluting industries involved with petrochemicals and biomass energy. In addition to her work on the Montezuma project, she is a participant in the lawsuit against Contra Costa County for approving the EIRs for the Phillips 66 and Marathon refineries conversion to biofuel production.

Walk & Roll to Washington
2023-01-01 08:00 - 2023-02-14 20:00
We are in a race against time! We have seen that elected officials can put forward strong climate focused legislation when we keep the pressure on them, so we’re launching an event to support 350 BAA’s work to do just that…
We’re logging miles walking and rolling to “reach” Washington DC to call attention to the new legislative session and the need for immediate climate action. Like any good relay race, it takes a team for us to reach our overall goal of 2,800 miles logged (the distance from the Bay Area to DC). We’re calling on you to be part of the team, by walking or rolling 50 miles before February 14th. Sign up below:
