Special Board Advisor
Co-Founder of 350 Sacramento and President Emeritus (2010-2018)
At the time I recognized climate change as the biggest challenge to the future, worrying for my children and grandchildren, I saw that there was no group working on climate change in Sacramento. With Martha Turner, I reached out to numerous groups and individuals for the Global Work Party on October 10, 2010. From that arose 350 Sacramento.

Equity Statement
Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, & Justice
Climate change disproportionately affects people of color, communities with lower incomes, and others from underrepresented and under-served communities, both locally and throughout the world.
Climate justice, which recognizes that climate change is intertwined with other social struggles such as racism and economic inequality, is a central principle to our work and mission. Therefore, building a strong, diverse social movement is necessary to combat climate change, which is a significant and mounting threat to the survival of humanity and all other living beings.
We strive to make 350 Sacramento’s culture one of respect, empathy, collaboration, inclusion, belonging, and liberation for people of all races, ages, sexes, genders, abilities, and religions. We fight alongside the intersecting struggles for a more just, free, equitable, and sustainable society, at home and around the world.
Understanding that we all have different backgrounds and life experiences, we give the benefit of the doubt that each member is doing their best to meet the moment, while being sensitive to environmental and social challenges. Consequently, we embrace opportunities to communicate and cultivate empathy, self-awareness, and restorative justice. We will continue to build our capacity to organize and co-power our diverse community to fulfill our mission.
