Take Action

Climate Solutions

 When teaching creative writing to elementary students, I learned that one of the six traits of excellent writing is Word Choice. Finding the best words can help clarify a concept, add dazzle to a mundane topic, or help discover common ground. Using different words to express the same thing can significantly impact the way people feel and respond.

So, it is no surprise that some words we use to write or talk about climate disruption either encourage collaboration or antagonize people. Find out which words have a more positive impact here!


Create Life-Long Voters

If you might be available to help us out at the end of September 2023 to create Life-Long Voters, please email Claudia Hevel or Claire Noonan

Help pre-register youth to begin a lifetime of voting! A sure way increase voter turnout in elections is to pre-register 16-year-olds, so they automatically receive their ballot by mail (VBM) at their first election when they turn 18.

 Aligned with the California Secretary of State’s High School Students Voter Education Weeks, our Voter Services committee organizes teams each year to pre-register at Los Altos and Mountain View high schools at the end of September. Please volunteer.
