ALERT FOR ACTION TODAY – NOW


If you care about California’s fisheries and the San Francisco Bay Delta, please take action today.  FOTR seldom asks for this kind of help, but your action now is critically important for our fishery and San Francisco Bay Delta resources.

Fran Pavley’s water rights enforcement bill (SB 565) deals with illegal water diversions.  These water diversions are enormous damaging to our Northern California fisheries and San Francisco Bay Delta restoration efforts. 

The bill could come to a floor vote in the Assembly Wednesday afternoon or Thursday.

The bill faces serious opposition from financially strong interests adverse to our values and our work, and it is CRITICAL that Wes Chesbro and Noreen Evans hear from you that the bill needs their strong support.   Some provisions of this bill have been changed to provide more due process and fairness to small diverters that were concerned that the State Water Resources Control Board would run amuck, a hearing/process rights has been added, and first time penalties waived.  Other changes also have been made to accommodate concerns that have been expressed.  

You should tell them that as one extremely interested in fishery and Delta restoration and protection, as you know they are, you ask for their strong support for this bill and our fisheries and Delta as opposed to a handful of vintners.  Contact information for these two Assembly members:

News Flash!!  Pleased to share that our partners in Richmond scored a HUGE VICTORY today.  At issue was how to spend $19 million in realignment dollars to county.  On one side was the Sheriff who wanted $3 million of those funds to expand jail capacity** and the other side was the community, with leadership from formerly incarcerated people themselves, saying those funds need to go toward critical re-entry services and supports.  After a long and sustained campaign, the Sheriff backed off of his plans.  I’m confident that our investments in building the leadership, partnerships and power evident in the campaign made a critical difference today.

Couldn’t say it better:

At the close of the meeting State Senator Loni Hancock emphatically stated, "This has been an extraordinary meeting, and I hope everyone realizes what a tribute to democracy this whole process has been. I am in awe of you guys, I'm in awe of this community and the testimony you've given.  And the fact that it is really coming together with such promise for developing a whole new system.  The whole promise of AB109 is not to replicate the failed system of the state level, but to build a new system that will break the cycle of crime and poverty and violence and put people on another track.  Everybody talks about it almost nobody has done it successfully, and it sounds to me like Contra Costa is on the road to doing it successfully. You will make history if you do that, you will be a model for other places that are struggling with these tough issues. Just thank you, every single one of you for what you've done here."

 

Another warrior passing on…Gus Gutierrez, who struggled tirelessly for the rights of Indigenous peoples. He will be remembered for his positive outlook on life and the good natured person that he was.

Gustavo, PRESENTE!!
