  • Write for Democracy

    We’re seeing real momentum in elections across the country, with a clear shift toward Democrats—but this is NOT the time to get comfortable.

    Wins don’t happen on their own. They happen because people show up and put in the work.

    Now is the moment to act

    👉 Join a postcard party
    👉 Sign up for phone banking
    👉 Get involved in voter outreach

    Let’s reach the people who didn’t vote last time and make sure every voice is heard.
    Stay focused. Stay energized. Let’s get it done. Write for Democracy
    Every first Wednesday of the month.
    St Andrews Episcopal Church 5pm-6:30pm
    Next session May 6th.

  • Los Padres ForestWatch Stop Oil Drilling & Fracking

    Protect Central Coast Public Lands From Trump’s Oil Expansion

    The Bureau of Land Management has released a new federal proposal that would open up to 850,000 acres of Central California—including nearly 400,000 acres of public lands, parks, beaches, and wildlife habitat—to oil drilling and fracking. The plan threatens some of the Central Coast’s most treasured landscapes and water sources, from the Sierra Madre Mountains and Montaña de Oro State Park to lands near schools and major waterways.
    A public hearing is scheduled for February 3, 2026, for proposed updates to public lands in parts of Santa Barbara, Ventura, San Luis Obispo, Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, and Tulare counties managed by the BLM Bakersfield Field Office. Click HERE to register.
