100 Club update, parades, concerts and more!

Hello clean-air-and-climate friends: Thanks to everyone who donated so we could get a deal on more stickers! They’re coming soon, and now’s the time to finish handing out the last batch of stickers while helping us qualify for the Nov 2024 ballot by collecting 135,000 signatures by W Nov 22, 2023!

The 100 Club: Kudos to folks who have 100+ signatures (Teague, joining Brynn M, Casey, Di, JJ, and Jan K), to folks who have 250+ signatures (Joan G, joining Karen D), to folks who have 500+ signatures (Dennis M), to folks who have 1000+ signatures (Lisa R), and to folks who have 2500+ signatures (Dave C and Yoram). There are dozens more who are on the board and within reach of the 100 Club… and there’s room for you too!
