We’ve asked Rep. Scott Peters to show us he’s a climate leader by taking three simple steps: 1) cosponsor the Green New Deal; 2) sign the No Fossil Fuel Money pledge; 3) host a town hall meeting on climate change.
Although Representatives Levin, Vargas and Davis have cosponsored the Green New Deal, Rep. Peters has yet to take action.
So, as part of the Raise the Alarm Campaign, SanDiego350 is leading rallies outside his office every single Friday, beginning June 28, until he does.

Join us for a guided tour of the Sycuan Cultural Center to help us better understand and appreciate the Kumeyaay community, its history and culture, and its priorities and values. We'll receive a guided tour of the cultural center and museum, and enjoy a program and question and answer session with Kumeyaay members.
The Cultural Center and museum opened in 2016 and is located on the prehistoric Kumeyaay village of Matamo. The center and museum house research and educational materials for use by tribal members and the general public, as well as a host location for exhibits, programs and other services.
We'll include a boxed lunch. Suggested donation: $10.00 to cover lunch and materials (donate at the event). We will share carpooling opportunities once you RSVP.
