The Climate Crisis Won't Stop for Corona
And Neither Will We!
TONIGHT, Tuesday, May 5 at 7:00 p.m. is the first monthly meeting of the Westside LA Hub of Socal350.org. Please join and invite others on the Westside who are concerned about the climate crisis. RSVP to the Zoom meeting here!
If anything is clear, it is that there are many links between our current pandemic and the slow but steady destruction of our ecosystems. It is easy to lose hope, but there are many ways to be part of the solution. SoCal 350 Climate Action has been active in Southern California since 2013 and starting today, we will have our own Westside chapter.
The first Westside LA Hub meeting is tonight, May 5, at 7:00 p.m. (via Zoom, further event details below)

350.org derives its name from 350 parts per million, the amount of carbon in the atmosphere that would allow the Earth to continue supporting life as we know it. We are well into the 400's now, but in the past few years, we have gained a better understanding of how we can reverse global warming. (For more information, check out Drawdown.org)
All levels of 350.org - international, national, and local, have at their core the same mission. They organize, activate, and engage across class, gender, racial, and ethnic lines to build a mass movement for a healthy climate and a 100% clean energy future with full employment.
SoCal 350 has organized public demonstrations about the climate crisis and worked on campaigns to stop neighborhood oil drilling in Los Angeles, close the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, promote fossil fuel divestment by closing the "money pipeline", and many more.
"Our goal is to help Southern California transition away from fossil fuels as quickly as possible while creating a more equitable society with abundant jobs, housing, and green space for all our residents." -SoCal 350 Westside LA Hub
In order to reach more people and accelerate its work during this critical year, SoCal 350 is starting a new local hub on the Westside. Despite the coronavirus forcing all activism online, they decided it made sense to initiate a local group because the climate crisis hasn't become any less critical during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The first monthly meeting is TONIGHT Tuesday, May 5. Please invite others on the Westside who are concerned about the climate crisis. RSVP to the Zoom meeting here!
