Let's get 100% clean renewable energy in Calabasas NOW! It is so easy with the Clean Power Alliance. And with your support, on Wednesday 1/27 at 7:00pm, the Calabasas City Council could provide 100% clean energy to all homes and businesses. And if you already have solar panels (yay!) you will receive 10% more than SCE's surplus compensation rate. Please Zoom in and let the council know you want to do something to reverse climate change and clean energy is the first step we can all take. https://cleanpoweralliance.org/

Vintage WWII planes will fly in formation across Calabasas tonight at 6:50pm. Happy Fourth of July!

At last week's Calabasas City Council meeting, I shared some material I've read, listened to or watched to help me understand the abhorrent history and pain and suffering of African Americans. Here are a few recommendations and I look forward to your's. "1619"--This Pulitzer Prize winning series of podcasts, "... is an ongoing project developed by The New York Times Magazine in 2019 with the goal of re-examining the legacy of slavery in the United States and timed for the 400...th anniversary of the arrival of the first Africans in Virginia." You can listen to the podcasts or read the transcript. The August 2019 New York Times Magazine "1619" that launched the series can also be ordered. "13th"--Netflix made this gut-wrenching Academy-Award nominated and Emmy-winning documentary available for free on YouTube. "Combining archival footage with testimony from activists and scholars, director Ava DuVernay's examination of the U.S. prison system looks at how the country's history of racial inequality drives the high rate of incarceration in America." It starts with the 13th Amendment that "abolished" slavery. Author Ta-Nehisi Coates--Try the soul-searing "Between the World and Me" or anything he wrote in The Atlantic including 2014's "The Case for Reparations." Let's keep this dialogue moving forward. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krfcq5pF8u8 Mary Sue

NO ON N. Calabasas residents have now experienced the most expensive campaign in the history of Calabasas elections by the billion dollar corporation, Avalon. Slick mailers, polling, FB and Instagram ads, polling, robocalls, and more polling, and the blitz continues. But we see through this developer's greedy attempt to bypass the City Council, the Planning Commission--AND PUBLIC INPUT. ... And we say: NO ON N. For more information visit: www.protectcalabasas.com
