FEATURING

CONGRESSWOMAN JULIA BROWNLEY (CD-26)

In 2019, Julia was appointed by the Speaker of the House to serve on the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis because of her long career fighting at the forefront of environmental policy. She was a co-author of the Committee’s 2020 report, Solving the Climate Crisis: The Congressional Action Plan for a Clean Energy Economy and a Healthy and Just America, which was praised as “the most detailed and well-thought-out plan for addressing climate change that has ever been a part of US politics.”

CONGRESSWOMAN SYDNEY KAMLAGER-DOVE (CD-37) (Invited)

Sydney is Vice Ranking Member of the Natural Resources Committee and cosponsor of the Donald A. McEachin Environmental Justice for All Act. During her time in the California State Legislature, she coauthored legislation to reduce single-use plastic packaging in landfills by 75% and fought for legislation to close the Inglewood Oil Field, removing carbon from the atmosphere and ensuring clean air and water for communities across California.

*Special Guest Congressional Candidate TBA*

Dear Member,

President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is the most important federal legislative effort, ever, aimed squarely at addressing climate change, and, incidentally, towards addressing our commitments as a country. It implements California’s dramatic moves to limit the Greenhouse Gases pouring into our atmosphere at a national level. The Congresswomen will address the Scope and Goals of the IRA, its impact on US Economy and some of the programs intended to stimulate clean power generation and promote new tech.

An existential threat is looming and we MUST re-elect President Biden and VP Harris, plus retain the Senate and Take Back the House in 2024 to prevent it!

A small donation will help us pay for venue rentals, continue providing programs illuminating the work that President Biden has done, and to introduce the Club to candidates running for U.S. Senate and Congress as well as our local state and city electeds. We will present panels on the issues of the day to keep you informed, and in the fall, a ballot measure forum with the pros and cons of each ballot proposition.

Please Join Us! Be More Informed – Talking Points Abound – Refute the Nay-Sayers and Keep President Biden in the White House!
