October 8th, 6p - The Local Road to Copenhagen Climate Talks! (RSVP)
Dave Room
Speakers: Ellen Choy, Global Exchange; Ananda Lee Tan, GAIA; Kriss Worthington, Berkeley City Council
The LCEA has open meetings on the second Thursday of every month, featuring informative speakers on renewable energy, energy efficiency, and related efforts.
The
next meeting of Alliance is October 10th at 6p and will feature
presentations on how local climate actions fit into the December's U.N.
climate negotiations in Copenhagen. Ellen Choy and Ananda Lee Tan will
talk about specific local actions for Oct 24th and Nov. 30th that you
can plug into, and discuss how the local actions provide support for
strong climate action in Copenhagen. The talks will also cover climate
justice issues and how to ensure that these issues should be included
in any climate action plans.
In
addition, Aaron Lehmer and Dave Room, steering committee members of the
Oakland Climate Action Coalition, will give an update on the
coalition's progress in working with the city, the new timeline, and
getting the Port involved in the ECAP process. They will also
facilitate a conversation to get your feedback on the coalition's
progress and policies.
Also joining us will be Berkeley City Councilor Kriss Worthington to speak about PG&E's fraudulent ballot initiative which is intended to kill Community Choice Energy in California. This initiative would also hamstring public power programs and set a dangerous precedent with respect to restricting a city's revenue bond authority. Kriss will discuss the initiative and how local energy activists can band together to defeat it.
WHEN: October 8, 6-8 pm
WHERE: Central Historic Building, 436 14th St.
2nd Floor Conference Room, Oakland
(Just up the stairs from the 12th St. BART station)
Coordinator, Local Clean Energy Alliance
