The UC Regents are meeting on July 20-22. Use our comment toolkit at bit.ly/RegentsJuly2021 to sign up by Sunday, July 18 to make a phone comment to the Regents and submit a written comment.

We are urging the Regents to expedite the transition to a fossil fuel-free UC. This year’s state budget includes a one-time investment of $300 million for UC upgrades and expansion and development of energy efficiency projects across the UC. Some of these funds should be used to pay for “shovel-ready” campus plans for electrification that position the UC to retire campus fossil-fuel infrastructure this decade and to expand campus renewable energy generation.

This is our chance to get our voices heard by top UC decision-makers!

Hope everyone is having a restful summer ☀️
Our monthly First Friday meeting will be this week on July 9, 4:30-6pm PDT. Since it is summer, the meeting will be more casual — we’ll check in with one another and share climate action ideas for the upcoming year. New members are always welcome!

Join us this Thursday for TTCAFE's final event of the year, happening from 8-9pm. In honor of Week 10, we will be hosting a casual study jam using the Pomodoro technique. See you there & good luck on finals!

This month's First Friday meeting on June 4th from 4:30 - 6pm PDT (new member orientation starts at 4pm) will be a celebration of the year's achievements. Please join us to reflect on how we've grown as an org, celebrate all our various wins, thank our members for all the work they've put in and farewell those that are graduating. This will be a great opportunity for new or interested members to hear an overview of the work we do and how we make change happen. See you there!
