The Santa Cruz Community Calendar
Santa Cruz County, California
Thursday, February 5, 2026
Due to the persistent efforts of Climate Health Now members and our allies we have been able to secure meetings with 6 of our elected representatives, which means we're halfway to our goal of 15 meetings to ask them to join the elected officials sign-on letter for protecting our lands! Our ultimate goal is to secure 50-100 signatures on Elected Officials to Protect America's opposition letter. (Please let us know if you want coaching to schedule a meeting with your reps.)
In case you missed it, we are organizing these meetings because Trump's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is paving the way to open over 1 million acres of our public lands in California to new, toxic oil and gas drilling leases-- from the Bay Area to the Central Valley and Ventura county-- and we're building the coalition to stop their plans-- just like they averted new offshore drilling leases in the Southeast US a couple months ago.
As a next step in our campaign, on Thursday, February 5th from 12:30-1:30pm we are continuing our opposition efforts by submitting comments in real-time together on the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement and will discuss next steps in our campaign.
