Hi there! I have an opportunity to host a ‘shopping’ party at a jewelry store in San Francisco where 19% of the proceeds go to a non-profit of my choice and I chose Mother’s Out Front ! Can you please provide me with the name and contact info of someone at your organization for me to provide to the store? I will also need the address and name of the person for the check to be sent. Please let me know if the tax ID I found, 46-5758600, is not correct. I don’t anticipate it being a significant amount of money but hope it will be somewhat helpful in supporting all of your great work. Thanks! Danielle

Can we join students in doing FridaysfortheFuture demos? i can make time in my fridays and downtown san jose has lots of great street corners where we can deliver the message of our time

I am interested in starting the group in Berkeley. I run a very active mom group and I know a good number of them would be on board!

I recently joined a MOF group in San Jose. They held a Pizza Poster Party for the Climate Stike event. We meet at the Pearl Library ,South San Jose. One of the coordinators of the poster making group was named Susan . Please assist me in reaching out to this group. I can be contacted at: lynnhermoso@yahoo.com;

mobile cell #: (619) 855-0217. Text is preferred for I am traveling most of my business hours. Thank You. BL

Would love to join a group in the inland empire or even Los Angeles or orange county.

I would love to know if there are any east bay groups, or interest in starting one. I live in Berkeley

Hello! I am a mother, and just started the hashtag #EcoMom to try to get mothers involved everywhere! … I don’t see a Santa Cruz/Monterey group, but would like to harness the power of mothers here.

I was just checking out your website, and was very impressed with the quality, look and feel.


I’m sure you have seen a lot of companies are starting to add animated videos to their websites, social media and YouTube pages to help explain their services in a fun, clear and engaging way. I think a 60-90 second animated video would be a perfect way for you to get your companies message across to more potential clients.


My team, located in Israel, helps businesses create quality customized Character Animation, Motion Graphics & Whiteboard videos at affordable rates.


I would be happy to set up a call for a consultation and price quote.


We are eager to hear back from you!

In your recent email “Grateful for rain, grateful for you”, you wrote erroneously that you “… helped to pass Senate Bill 100, for 100% renewable energy for CA by 2045, …”.

Have you bothered to read SB-100? Nowhere does it call for 100% renewable energy by 2045. It calls for 100% zero-carbon energy by 2045. The CA legislature understands the limitations of renewable energy, but apparently you do not. Solar and wind farms rely on combustion of fossil fuels to back them up when the sun is down (or clouded out) and the winds are calm (or destructively strong). That fact makes 100% zero-carbon energy an impossible goal for the foreseeable future.


Or perhaps you have read SB-100, but misinterpreted it because you think “zero-carbon” and “renewable” mean the same thing? Nuclear and large hydroelectric are both non-renewable zero-carbon energy sources. Without those sources, there’s no credible way that renewables alone (mostly wind and solar) can meet the demand.


If batteries ever become cheap enough to store electricity from renewables when their output power exceeds the demand, and release it when their output is less than the demand, it’s theoretically possible to achieve 100% renewable energy. But doing so would require so many wind and solar farms that the goal is a practical impossibility because they would take up so much open space. Land is a limited resource.


It’s fine to advocate clean energy solutions, but why don’t you do your homework first? That way you can avoid spreading misinformation. Homework must include fact-checking what you read, because many organizations and news have made the same mistake in reporting news about SB-100. Laziness to fact check is rampant.

I am writing on behalf of YesCleanCars.org, a coalition of California environmental organizations working for passage of the Clean Cars 2040 Act, AB 1745. This bill provides that new model-year 2040 and later passenger vehicles sold in California must be zero emissions vehicles. The Sierra Club, Earthjustice, Stand.Earth, Environment California, Center for Climate Protection, 350 Bay Area, 350 Silicon Valley, NextGen California, Brightline Defense, Plug In America and Fossil Free California are among its chief supporters.

This legislation will greatly reduce air pollution and carbon emissions from gas-powered cars. It will send a clear signal that the gasoline era is ending, thereby immediately disincentivizing coastal oil drilling. It will move billions of dollars from foreign oil to local electricity. The certain sunset date allows utilities, automakers, governments and businesses to prepare for a smooth, orderly, and economical transition.

We were wondering if your organization would be willing to sign a letter of support on behalf of AB 1745 and/or send information about the bill to your membership.

I look forward to your response.

We’re also planning a rally on the West lawn of the Capitol in Sacramento for April 4 at lunchtime, including speakers and entertainment including electric vehicle demos and Coltura’s Gas Trap performance piece. Save the date, and we’ll send more info shortly.

Thanks!

Question….I am a Grandmother perhaps interested in joining your group. Any meetings in Oakland or Berkeley?

Congrats for your organization…climate change seems to pale when I learn about the brain dangers for other toxins for our children presently in Santa Clara County:

1. fluorosilicic acid, a neutoxin from phosphate fertilizer..600 tons is put in tap water in Santa Clara County. NIH says it does NOT prevent cavities, does cause stains/pits in half of US kids and when pregnant women drink such tap or bottled water, it lowers the IQs of children. Harvard agrees with 50 world studies that it damages brains and IQs.

2. Last year CA passed law that took away parents rights to object to the 40 or more vaccines now required to get a child in public/private kindergarden in CA. Yes, vaccines are unsafe since Reagan gave vaccine companies immunity and they have no reason to do scientific and proper studies on the vaccines. Merck writes MMRII is ‘unsafe for babies, pg women and elders; Autism will be 1 in 2 with 4 x more boys than girls in the next few decades. Half of US kids have chronic health problems that did not exist 30-50 years ago. (5 vaccines by kindergarten for my 7 kids). Bill Gates is being sued by India for 47,000 paralyzed kids from the polio vaccine he gave them from US in 2000!!! Polio did not die off, it just has a new name.

3. WiFi, the EMFs now causing more brain tumors in babies, 50% fertility loss under laptops (my grandson says "my laptop is sooo hot, I put a book under it.). 18 countries now ban/limit WiFi in schools. U.S. companies won’t tell us the risks.

After 3 new pair of digital hearing aids, I read the instructions that suggest they don’t work around WiFi..and they don’t!


Altho I have organized much in my 80 years, I failed to organize anyone in past 5 years against any of these 3 obvious and present dangers for my 18 grandkids. Parents lost their right to object to any vaccines for any reason with a CA law last year.

Hopefully, your efforts against climate change can expand to these 3 very damaging toxins which do damage the brain and often kill. I’ll be glad to meet with any of your leaders.
