1.  Attend the City Council meeting on July 19th and speak (or cede your
time. https://solar.oaklandnet.com/Speaker/form

2.      Contact Council members (email, tweet, social media, phone) urging
them to accept the changes to the Kalb/Gallo measure offered by the
Coalition. Earlier, Kalb/Gallo had made changes some of which we agreed to
but some of which we disagreed with. We need to fight to have the original
language of our measure re-inserted so we want to ask the Council members to
vote “yes” on the 19th to accept the changes advocated by the Coalition (7
specific changes; see attached for specifics)
