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%!

Volunteer Opportunities
•
We need a list of all Sonoma County bars, clubs, restaurants, food
trucks, food vendors, caterers - any company that serves food and
drinks. First we are doing a mailing to Mexican restaurants and
taquerias about GMOs in corn and then in a few months we are doing a
large mailing requesting that food vendors use paper straws and not the
new so-called compostable plastic which is only slightly better than
regular plastic. We need help compiling these mailing lists.

Hello Emerald, I want to share an action for the Rights of Nature in Sonoma County that will take place on Tuesday, October 9th at 5pm at Julliard Park, Santa Rosa. Please see below for more details.
On Tuesday, October 9th, we will lead a procession of frontline communities- those most directly affected by the fires, displacement,
deportation - from Julliard Park into Courthouse Square. We want to make a call for the collective care of our collective Home, to assert our commitment to the protection of our planet and our families here in Sonoma County.
Roots, Roof and Refuge refers to our campaigns to win a Rights of Nature ballot initiative in the coming years (Roots), to build out our Tenants Union and win renter protections (Roof), and to assure our immigrant community can
live safely and flourish amongst us (Refuge).
This will be the first action hosted by our Rights of Nature Task Force, and we'll invite the broader public to participate in this ongoing, dynamic campaign.
We need your voices and energies, please come participate!
