Comments must be received electronically or postmarked on or before April 17, 2020.
Tomorrow at 11 am, we will hold our first video and teleconference for our members in place of upcoming advocacy training. This first session will simply help bring our supporters up to date on making comments and current processes. In the weeks to come, as we will all have time on our hands and all need intellectual pursuits, we will hold planned sessions on understanding California water, the Delta, climate change impacts etc. We plan to make the best of the situation.

We wish you all good health, safety, and love. Regardless of whether we agree or disagree on policies, we are all Californians.
Yours in service,
Barbara Barrigan-Parrilla
Executive Director
