Registration is closed for this event
Citizens demonstration against ALEC and their corporate shadow government.

Union groups and many other groups, including Citizens' OversighStopALEC festt and Artful Activist San Diego will converge at the Grand Hyatt Hotel (where ALEC is hosting their 42nd Annual Meeting) starting around 4:30pm. SanDiego350's William Leslie will be one of many speakers and he will specifically be highlighting ALEC's detrimental effect on climate action.  Let's have a great showing from SanDiego350 members at this event!  We need to show ALEC they're not welcome in California!

ALEC cozies up corporate interests with legislators to produce model bills that represent the interests of corporations, not "we the people".  ALEC's Board of Directors includes lobbyists from ExxonMobil, Peabody Energy, and Koch Industries so is completely vested in avoiding any regulation of greenhouse gases.  ALEC's Energy, Environment, and Agriculture Task Force was previously chaired by American Gas Association and Peabody Energy. Other ALEC members include Chevron, which has put huge amounts of money into fighting climate action in California.

You can meet up with other SD350'ers at this event at the grassy spot in front of Kansas City BBQ between 3:45 and 4:10pm. We'll be toting SD350 banners/signs.  The meeting spot is on the opposite side of W Harbor Drive from the Grand Hyatt. A crowd of around thousands is expected at this event, so it is probably advisable to take public transit or walk/bike if feasible.
