Welcome to the week.
It’s Earth Week, which means it’s the perfect time to take climate action, and what better way that joining the phone banking session with the Environmental Voter Project that Quinn is hosting this Wednesday (April 23rd) at 8 PM ET.
Training is provided if you don’t have any phone banking experience!
Ok news time.
This Week
Have a great week,

What's your view on restricting cars in city centers?
Last week, we asked: Would you support your city or county implementing a small fee (eg., $1 on utility bills) to fund local regenerative agriculture projects?
You said:
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Yes, and I would advocate for it (44%)
“What's not to love about this?”
🟨🟨⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️ Yes if it were optional (opt-in) (18%)
“I live in a mixed income neighborhood and I don't think it's fair for low income or struggling neighbors to have to do this. But I also live in a very liberal and community-minded neighborhood (very obvious in how we vote each year) and believe there would be a lot of organic support for this. ”
🟨⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️ Yes even if it were automatic (opt-out) (14%)
“Our food system is the base of human energy and must change now if we are to evolve rather than cause further extinction, including of humanity.”
🟨⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️ Maybe, I would need more information (13%)
“Organic only.”
⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️ No I don't think the local government should be involved in this (5%)
“State and local governments are already misusing the funding tactics related to special fees on utility bills. There is too much mission creep that occurs. ”
⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️ No I don't support any additional fees (6%)
“With all the taxes we pay over 60% of take home pay that should cover it.”
New Shit Giver Beth is here because “I'm here because I am a geriatric nurse and although I am at the corporate level now, I was not during the pandemic. I was a DON over a facility of about 98 residents. We were the first in the county to have a COVID outbreak and the first to have a death.“
Thank you so much for your service, and thank you for being here!
