Robert PrinzIt’s incredibly weird to me that some people maintain conspiracy theories about the small, local non-profit I work for. They could literally just come to our 1 room office w no plumbing & see what we’re up to. But instead they prefer to maintain a myth that we’re shadowy, compromised evil doers?

The California Air Resources Board wants to take Cap-and-Invest funding from programs that support housing, transit, clean air, and clean water and give it to oil companies that are reaping record profits. Join a rally and lobby day on 8/10 to save these programs. actionnetwork.org/events/emerg...
Anti-corporate organizing is a specific type of organizing and I recommend learning more about that if you're into it. Community organizing for shifting governmental policy has a different flavor, so if you're looking to do that check out press.princeton.edu/books/paperb...
