Policy Teams
The legislative committee reviews proposed legislation on environmental, climate change and social/environmental justice issues, we meet with legislators and lobby for climate-forward legislation, and we engage with coalition partners to endorse climate legislation.

  • Coordinate an educational forum for local and state ballot measures.
  • Research and analyze local, state and national legislation.
  • Participate with coalitions that advocate for stronger zoning requirements and larger buffer zones that protect communities from oil and gas facilities.
  • Working with a coalition to influence CARB’s rules on ZEV fleets of trucks.

WHAT OUR VOLUNTEERS DO

    • Analyze legislation.
    • Meet with elected officials to  promote climate-forward issues.
    • Develop educational presentations for SD350 members and the community.

Team Accomplishments

  • Successfully facilitated a Zoom Legislative Training that educated San Diego County residents on climate-related legislation.
  • We were also able to set up Zoom meetings with most of the legislators in the San Diego region to promote this legislation.
