In Fresno on Monday: EPA/NHTSA hearing on rolling back clean car standards

Sep 20, 2018 | Action Alerts, Events, News, Party News

Dear Central Valley Progressives,

 

As you may know, Trump’s EPA and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are proposing to roll back fuel economy standards.

 

I just learned that the only hearing on this issue in California will be next Monday, Sept. 24, in Fresno. The Sierra Club is running a free bus from Oakland to Fresno, to bring folks in from the Bay Area – but we need to pack this hearing and make all our voices heard. Can you join us, and invite others in your community?

Here’s more about the hearing – one of only 3 total in the country:

To reserve a spot on the Oakland bus, email julia.foote@sierraclub.org.

 

PlugIn America will also be having a huge Electric Vehicle rally in Fresno that morning, Sept. 24, from 8 to 10 am, at The Grand 1401, 1401 Fulton Street, in Fresno. Contact kstainken@pluginamerica.org if you plan to participate.

 

I will be there to testify, and I invite you and your networks to send folks as well. Please share this widely, and let me know if you plan to attend by replying to this email. 

 

Thank you!

Vanessa

The ‘Yes On P’ campaign is in full swing, and we have hit the streets to educate the community on the benefits of Measure P. We have signs popping up across the city and canvassers out walking and knocking on doors, but we need more.

We have less than six weeks left till election day and now is the time to kick in to gear and help.

How you will help pass this important measure so we can have safe, clean parks throughout Fresno?

HELP PASS MEASURE P!

Show your support with a #YesOnP yard sign. Pick one up at our campaign office (5380 N. Fresno St., Suite 105, Fresno, CA 93710 – near Fresno & Barstow) or sign-up online.

Help pass #YesOnP by canvassing door-to-door. Adopt your precinct and walk in your own neighborhood. We’ll provide materials, scripts, and a simple mobile app.

Every contribution is crucial to the campaign, and will help ensure we can communicate with Fresno voters about #YesOnP. Donate online – it’s quick and easy!
