At the April 3 meeting of SUN environmental activists including Nicole Rickets-Brown, Mimi Spreadbury and Elizabeth Sarmiento exposed the 400+ anti-environmental Trump policies and provided solutions that would keep the planet safe. District 5 City Councilperson Peter Ortiz and Our City Forest CEO Rhonda Berry (both pictured below) highlighted the efforts to enhance the tree canopy in East San Jose. Peter Ortiz also expressed his support for SB42, the proposition on the November ballot that would allow for publicly financed elections.

At the SCORCHED EARTH protest and press conference on Earth Day at City Hall, scores of local residents protested Trump and local policies that are harming our planet and local environment. Speakers included Acting Deputy Chief of Staff for Supervisor Otto Lee, Emily Pachoud; Harry Adams from Veterans for Peace Chapter 46; Dash Leeds from the Sierra Club Loma Prieta Chapter; Mimi Spreadbury from California Indivisible Climate Justice; Senior Field Representative for Assemblymember Ash Kalra, Tuan Nguyen; Derek Grasty on behalf of the South Bay Progressive Alliance; and Human Agenda Vice President for Environmental Action Nicole Rickets-Brown.

Sierra Club spokesperson Dashiel Leed expressed deep concerns regarding 34 data centers in development in the City of San Jose without any public engagement whatsoever. Nicole Rickets-Brown denounced the evisceration of the Endangered Species Act and the Environmental Protection Agency. Harry Adams highlighted the devastating impacts of war on the environment, among other speakers. Below, a photo of the SUN Earth Day protest and press conference at City Hall.

Public Banking Signed into Law

:{Human Agenda has been a consistent supporter of the Public Banking Action Team of the South Bay Progressive Alliance (SBPA) moderated by Jake Tonkel (candidate for City Councilperson in Willow Glen).  This group as well as the entire California Public Banking Alliance scored a huge victory when Governor Newsom recently signed AB 857 into law. 

In the coming seven years as many as 10 experimental public banks may be established.  Please contact the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors to make sure we have a local public bank, which will save local taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars that will not go to Wall Street banks but rather can be used locally to help the homeless through a community land trust, create a democratically run eco-friendly transportation hub, fund the creation of worker-owned cooperatives, etc.}:
