What: Rally at Sen. Feinstein’s offices

On July 15th, Sunrise Movement is leading a protest to put the heat on Sen. Feinstein for her inaction on the climate crisis. Californians will come together to rally outside Feinsten’s offices at three different locations. Can you join the rally in downtown San Francisco to demand a bold and equity-based Civilian Climate Corps?

Organizers from Extinction Rebellion SF Bay are collaborating with Sunrise to help fill roles for the action. If you’d like to get involved with planning or support in any way, please email our Direct Action working group: dawg@xrsfbay.org.

America is at a crossroads.

Six months have passed since the failed attack on our nation and our democracy on January 6th. Since that day, anti-voter laws have been passed in states all over the country and the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent rulings have made clear that it will not act to protect the sacred right to vote. This summer, Congressional districts risk being redrawn in a way that will allow politicians to choose their voters – rather than the voters fairly choosing who represents them.

We have reached an inflection point in which we must force our elected officials to act now or risk losing the very foundation of our republic.

But there is hope for us to stop this undercurrent of corruption and rebuild American democracy so that the freedom to vote is protected, billionaires don’t control our political systems, and our representatives actually respond to we the people.

To do this, we must pass the For the People Act, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, and D.C. Statehood – and we can’t let anything, including the Jim Crow filibuster, stand in our way!

Join us for The Good Trouble Vigils for Democracy on July 17 – the one year mark of the passing of Rep.John Lewis – as we carry on his legacy by hosting candlelight vigils nationwide to demand that Congress act to protect our freedom to vote and rebuild our democracy.

We must and will win this Fight!

Make calls together on Zoom to get killer cops off our streets!

At YSA we have found that it takes a village to build a village. If you’re interested in volunteering on Saturday’s from 9:30am to 4pm come join us @ 633 Hegenberger road Oakland, CA.

Topic: All-hands Call on DeJoy’s Electric Vehicles Contract

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

The Save the USPS Coalition invites you to an “all-hands” meeting on Postmaster Louis DeJoy’s gas-fleet, non-union contract with Oshkosh Defense. In this meeting, we plan to bring together postal advocates and labor, environmental and contracting experts to discuss what legal and political actions we can take to slow and stop this contract. If you are interested in working in coalition to bring down this contract, fill out this Doodle Poll and let us know when works for you. Further, if you know of anyone working in this area who should be included in the call, please let us know.

Who we are:

The Save the USPS coalition is a group of nearly 300 public interest groups that came together when Postmaster General Louis DeJoy was appointed to  protect and expand the postal service into a hub for community services.

Background on the Oshkosh Contract:

With DeJoy’s direction, USPS plans to spend $11.3 billion on a new fleet of USPS trucks. This contract with Oshkosh has a slew of environmental and labor issues. The trucks would be mostly gas-powered and be built by non-union labor in right-to-work South Carolina. Watch More Perfect Union’s quick video covering the contract’s long list of issues. Our ask is a nearly entirely electric fleet built by union workers in Wisconsin. USPS claims the contract is finalized, but it’s not over yet!

Help us strategize about the next stage of this fight!

Please fill out this Doodle Poll as soon as possible.

We need all hands on deck for this coming Tuesday, to demand the termination of Vallejo PD’s badge benders and to protest borrowing $30M for a police station upgrade we already voted against. #PoliceBrutality #Vallejo #PoliceReform pic.twitter.com/42B0ZzsyH6

What: Stop the Money Pipeline Action

Join us to demand that Wells Fargo cut financing for expansion of fossil fuels. There will be street theater, signs and flyering to alert the public to the bank’s ongoing funding of climate chaos. This is part of a national Stop the Money Pipeline week of action.

We have one simple demand for Wells Fargo: stop providing financial services to any corporation expanding its fossil fuel operations. In other words, stop funding the climate crisis. At Wells Fargo’s general meeting last month, a shareholder resolution was presented, urging the bank NOT to fund ANY future fossil projects. The bank urged shareholders to vote against the resolution, which then got only 11% approval by shareholders, but even 11% gets leadership’s attention. We must keep up the pressure!

Come by between 4 and 6pm on May 18th and show that you have had it with Wells Fargo’s business as usual while people are dying and the climate crisis escalates.

We are looking for volunteers to help in the following roles:

• Safety Marshals/De-escalators
• Flyer Team
• Banner Holders
• Photographers

If you can help with any of those, please drop us an email at dawg@xrsfbay.org or let us know on our event RSVP form.

Please spread the word and invite friends through the Facebook event here…or just show up!

Like the Warriors, Empty Homes Tax is on the final home stretch, join our signature gathering mobilization this Sunday at noon on Stanyan and Haight— followed by a celebratory BBQ in Dahlia Dell at 2PM!! Hope to see you there ☀️ https://t.co/DqEOmfFqmx pic.twitter.com/83NoKJ9x3S

Exciting as hell. Parents, teachers and supporters are planning to occupy Parker Elementary in protest of the OUSD closure. I think this came close to succeeding at Lakeview ten years ago, but in today's climate, I am predicting more parent/student participation. pic.twitter.com/9FBLxPO63t
