Ask Sen. Toni Atkins to Support SB 307
An Opportunity to Stop the Cadiz Project
SB 307 will ensure California conducts the environmental review on the Trump-backed Cadiz Water Project, which would drain a primeval aquifer in the Mojave Desert. But SB 307 must move out of the appropriations committee by Thursday in order to be eligible for a Senate vote. Contact Senator Toni Atkins and ask her to vote YES on SB 307. Help us send this bill to the full Senate with maximum strength. Tell your state senator to vote YES on SB 307.

California Wolf Center Guided Tour
Sunday, June 16, 10:00 a.m.
Most Californians are unaware we have active, wild wolf packs in our state's wildest corners. But this wasn't always the case. A campaign of extermination wiped out the American Gray Wolf in Northern California by the 1930s, and there are currently no wild Mexican Gray Wolves in Southern California, as wolves remain endangered nationwide. Join Brandon Coopersmith and Tommy Hough for a special, guided tour of the California Wolf Center in Julian.
