"While industries are most likely to site toxic facilities in low income communities of color, some research shows that they also look for sites where the surrounding area contains a mixture of races and classes, knowing that will decrease the likelihood of communities sharing information and working together to address issues that ultimately affect everyone. It’s a sadly effective tactic."

Volunteer Opportunities
• OSC puts on six events
every year. Can you agree to post our event flyers to the bulletin boards
where you already shop? Please let us know what bulletin boards you can
cover. Flyers can always be downloaded from our website or we can get
them to you.
Call To Action!
We urge all groups including schools,
neighborhood associations, organizations, clubs and groups of any kind to adopt
a Climate Declaration. Adopt ours or write your own. Share your
Climate Declaration with local governments, the media, write articles, and share
information.
Occupy Sonoma County Climate Declaration
Occupy Sonoma County, along with concerned, forward thinking people all over the world, declares that climate change has reached catastrophic proportions as evidenced by the current level of CO2 in the atmosphere, the melting of polar ice caps, and the continual rising of global temperatures. This is a global emergency, and we must act immediately. We invite all forces of life to join together for our survival. We stand up for life.
We recognize that the root of climate change is a capitalist system run by money greedy corporations and the governments that they control. We actively oppose greenhouse gas producers, nuclear power investors, and fossil fuel companies by boycotting their products, developing alternatives, divesting from corporations that endorse them and insisting that governments at all levels take action. We call on all governments and corporations to adopt life-sustaining practices immediately.
The people must act now to
stop this destruction from continuing and reverse the damage this has
caused. The future is in our hands. We are the 99%!
What Earth Actions are you taking?
