SUMMARY:June Climate Circle: Breaking the Spiral of Silence–Why We Don’t Talk and How We Can Start
DESCRIPTION:June Climate Circle: Breaking the Spiral of Silence\nAre you comfortable talking to your neighbors\, friends\, or family about climate change? If the answer is no\, you’ve got company. \nAccording to a recent global study by The Guardian and international newsrooms\, 89% of people are concerned about climate change—but most of us aren’t talking about it. \nFear of judgment\, disagreement\, or social tension silences us\nPsychologists and communication experts call it the Spiral of Silence—a powerful force that keeps us quiet when we fear judgment\, disagreement\, or social tension. We assume others aren’t concerned\, or that we don’t know enough\, so we stay silent—even with the people closest to us. \nConnection\, emotion\, and trust open pathways to change\nSilence slows progress. Research shows that people don’t change their minds through facts alone—they change through connection\, emotion\, and trust. If most of us want to accelerate climate action\, then the way forward starts with conversation. \nLet’s turn concern into connection—and silence into momentum\nJoin us for our next Climate Circle on Monday\, June 2\, as we explore how to break the climate spiral of silence. Learn how to talk about climate change in ways that open minds\, spark action\, and bring communities together. \nLet’s turn concern into connection—and silence into momentum. \nSign up here to receive the discussion materials and Zoom link. \n\nImage credit: Ekaterina Bolovtsova on Pexels

SUMMARY:July Climate Circle: Refinery Shutdowns--Consequences for Our Communities
DESCRIPTION:Refinery Shutdowns–Consequences for Our Communities\nAre you concerned about Valero’s announced closure of its Benicia refinery? What happens if Chevron shuts down? \n\nEnvironmentalists point to improved health outcomes and progress towards a carbon-free future.\nIndustry argues that gasoline prices and pollution will increase because we will have to import less-regulated gas.\nUnions fear their members will not find well-paying jobs if the refinery closes.\nLocal city and state officials worry about loss of tax revenues.\n\nAs California transitions from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources\, we need a framework for scaling down refinery operations that includes refinery accountability\, community support and safety oversight.   \nJoin us to discuss this multi-layered topic at our next Climate Circle on Monday\, July 7\, at 12:00 pm.  \nSign up here to receive the discussion materials and Zoom link. \n\nImage credit: Christine Stevens

SUMMARY:August Climate Circle: Status of California Climate Action in Wake of OBBB Act
DESCRIPTION:Status of California Climate Action in Wake of OBBB Act\nIn early July Congress passed the budget reconciliation bill\, outrageously and erroneously dubbed “One Big Beautiful Bill.” It became law on July 4th. Among many other impacts\, this bill guts federal climate and clean energy funding throughout the country\, including eliminating rebates and tax credits for solar and wind farms\, rooftop solar\, electric vehicles and energy-efficient home upgrades.  Since solar and wind are currently less expensive sources of energy than fossil fuels\, utility rates are predicted to jump another ten percent in the next few years. \nSome of the Questions to be Discussed\nHow can California continue it’s clean energy initiatives without the federal funding provided by the Inflation Reduction Act? What can we do in our state\, county and cities to keep moving forward toward a healthier environment for all? \nJoin us on Monday\, August 4th\, 2025\, noon to 1 PM to discuss how the climate-related features of this budget act will affect California businesses and residents and what we can do about it. \nSign up here to receive the discussion materials and Zoom link. \nCome curious. Leave inspired. Everyone is welcome. \n\nImage credit: Akil Mazumder on Pexels

SUMMARY:Legislative Team Meeting—Special Meeting
DESCRIPTION:One-Time Change! We’re moving the August meeting ahead a week to September 4 because the last day for bills to be referred from the Appropriations Committees to the floor is Friday\, August 30\, one day after the original August meeting day. When we meet on September 4\, we’ll know which bills are going to be up for a floor vote this year. We’ll have a good starting place for a discussion of which bills need our efforts in support or opposition.  \nThe Legislative Team focuses on the Sacramento lawmakers who represent Contra Costa residents. We cultivate strong relationships with these state senators and assembly members so we can influence their votes on important legislation. And we get the word out to our fellow constituents when letters and phone calls are needed to convince lawmakers to vote the right way. \nWe meet on the last Thursday of the month to discuss the progress of California state bills that significantly impact Contra Costa County’s transition to a fossil-free\, environmentally just future. We recommend actions for 350 Contra Costa Action members and others  to gain legislators’ support for our positions. Everyone is welcome to attend our meetings. For newbies\, the meetings are a way to learn about the legislative process and our environmental policies. Contact the team leader for more information and the zoom link to the next meeting. \n

SUMMARY:Communications Team Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Communications Team meets via Zoom every other Monday. At our bi-weekly meetings the Communications Team identifies and plans ways to engage with county residents about climate solutions. We encourage community members to become active volunteers through actions like monthly newsletter emails\, website posts\, speaking engagements\, and tabling at public events. Contact the team organizer for more information and the zoom link to the next meeting. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
