Don’t we all just need to take a walk in the woods sometimes? Russell Martin Park’s walking trails affords Concord  residents the opportunity to unplug, de-stress, and enjoy the simplicity of a quiet nature walk.  Constructing a bike park in the middle of the forest, situated among walking trails, would seriously impede the ability of ALL residents to enjoy the forest experience for the benefit of a few.

San Francisco approved a detailed and comprehensive Climate Action Plan in 2021 with a top-line goal of net-zero GHG emissions by 2040. Some progress towards this goal has been made since then, including general fund budget money awarded over the last few years to the SF Environment Department, for the first time ever. But we are now in danger of going backwards in our fight to mitigate climate change. Mayor Lurie and the Board of Supervisors recently approved a 2-year budget that revokes virtually all funding for programs critical to implementing the CAP. Without changes, staff will be laid off and successful projects will grind to a halt. In the face of rising climate catastrophe, this is simply unacceptable. The federal government’s abdication of any climate action only underscores the need for forward-thinking cities like San Francisco to lead the way, ensuring we don't get left behind as the rest of the world accelerates in this critical energy and economic transition. San Francisco is uniquely poised as a center of innovation and progressive values to forge ahead, demonstrating how to take meaningful action on one of the greatest challenges of our time. The City can build on the excellent work already being done by our Environment Department and other City agencies, community organizations, and the business community to speed our progress towards reduced emissions and protection of our most vulnerable communities.

South Fulton’s seniors and residents of all abilities deserve a voice in how our City plans for the future. Too often, decisions are made without considering the daily challenges of aging like safe transportation, affordable housing, access to healthcare, and digital inclusion. By joining this Initiative, you are helping create the Senior Aging & Inclusion Commission, a group that will soley advise City leaders on these issues, publish an annual Senior & Inclusion Well-Being Index for transparency, and push for safer, healthier, and more connected neighborhoods. When you sign, you are standing up for your family, your neighbors, and the future of South Fulton showing City Hall that our community is united in supporting seniors and residents of all abilities. City leaders can only make the best decisions when they hear directly from the people those decisions affect. Seniors and residents of all abilities know firsthand the daily challenges of transportation, housing, healthcare, and staying connected. When these voices are organized and lifted through the Senior Aging & Inclusion Commission, it not only guides local policies but also strengthens our partnerships with county, state, and federal agencies.  At a time when federal resources are limited and requirements are constantly shifting, it is more important than ever that South Fulton hears directly from its community so we can advocate effectively, align our policies, and secure the right resources for our residents.

The EPA scheduled a two-day hearing on its proposed recission of the Endangerment Finding. So many people signed up to testify that they had to add two days and created a waiting list when those slots were filled. The testimony was overwhelmingly in favor of keeping the Endangerment Finding. Scientists, health professionals, state government representatives, environmental and health advocates testified along side individuals who shared their stories about how climate change-fueled natural disasters have already endangered them or how concerned they are for future generations. The public can still submit written comments through September 22. This petition will be submitted as a comment on the docket. But, as has been the case with our other recent petitions, it's also important for individuals to submit their own comments. Earlier this month, the Trump administration removed a tool on Regulations.gov that allowed organizations to collect and submit comments in bulk. It is Trump's latest attempt to silence us. We have never relied on that tool. We have created EZ forms that we upload individually on your behalf. Our EZ form to comment on the Endangerment Finding gives you the option to tell your climate story - your experiences, your concerns. The personal stories people shared when they testified were compelling. We urge you to add yours. Please sign our petition and take the additional step of submitting a comment using our EZ form here.

Why We’re Urging FEMA to Act — And Why You Should Join Us The people of Milwaukee, Wauwatosa, West Allis, and surrounding communities are facing a crisis that no city should bear alone. After the historic August 9th flood, thousands of families are still without safe homes, clean water, or basic stability. We are calling on FEMA not just for funding — but for recognition, urgency, and support. The damage exceeds federal aid thresholds. The need is real. And the longer the delay, the harder recovery becomes. We ask every American to stand with us by signing this petition — because this could happen in anytown, to any family. By showing solidarity, you help make clear that our federal emergency system must respond swiftly and equitably when disaster strikes.   FEMA: Our community matters. The time to act is now.

We don't want more condos, we don't want a golf course, we don't want our sacred past times threatened. 

 Commitment to protecting Floridians' rights and natural resources is vital. This issue is about more than just parking—it’s about preserving the public's access to Florida’s beaches, a core part of our identity, economy, and freedom.

The proposed Land Use Framework would allow for more affordable housing, more transit-oriented development, and more ecologically sustainable development along the Broadway corridor from Devon to Montrose.

Everglades National Park is in a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone—meaning buildings should be constructed to withstand winds of 180 miles per hour. But the Everglades detention camp is made up of flimsy tents, bunk beds, and chain fences—it’s blatantly unsafe for those being held there. The facility has already flooded once from normal levels of rain.  Beyond endangering human lives, the Everglades detention camp also threatens one of the country’s most fragile ecosystems. Journalists have already struggled to report on the facility because of the swarms of mosquitoes, some of which can carry dangerous diseases. And if industrial mosquito repellents are used, the environmental harm toward the Everglades and its nationally protected land could be staggering. DeSantis and his allies have refused entry to Democratic representatives demanding to exercise their legal duties to conduct oversight because they know how appalling the conditions inside are. The cruel and inhumane environment at Everglades detention camp is by design—it’s exactly what Trump and his cronies want. Sign the petition to expedite the camp’s shutdown and reject any replication of these disastrous conditions at other facilities! 

Moving Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) by Rail is a disaster waiting to happen. Many of you already know that because you followed the issue and signed the petitions we circulated to stop it last time Trump was in office. Here we go again! The Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking recently published by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is the first step in the process of changing the rules, yet again, to allow LNG to be moved by rail nationwide. We're asking you to sign our petition to send a strong message to the Trump administration and PHMSA that LNG moved by rail is too dangerous to allow. They must NOT reverse the court-ordered ban! Help us stop LNG by rail in its tracks! We'd appreciate it if you could take a couple of additional minutes to submit a comment to PHMSA's official docket for this advance rulemaking using our EZ form. All you need to do is write an opening sentence, a closing sentence, and select from several optional points to include in your comment. We take care of the formatting and uploading and we save a copy, along with the tracking number, to be on the safe side. You can find our EZ form here.

The trees at Oakhampton Place both are a safe haven to our local wildlife and an enchanting addition to this property. Many of our tenants choose to live here because of the privacy, shelter, shade, and aesthetic appeal that these trees offer. Our poolside tenants were upset when the flowering crepe myrtles were cut down, and now several of our beloved live oaks have been removed or have been marked for removal.  These trees have not appeared to be overly stressed or dying. We care about this loss largely because the live oak is indigenous to Texas and it is important to protect our native trees in this community. We are speaking out because we want to champion and preserve our canopy, and this is also a mission within Bexar County! Unnecessarily chopping down these large trees also affects our ecosystems in this area and harms our environment. The animals that live in these trees have nowhere to go when these trees are cut and must resort to residing in unnatural spaces. A large benefit of having this tree between Oakhampton property and the neighboring school is that it blocks a lot of the sound pollution as well. Noise from loud delivery trucks, daily announcements, and the hustle and bustle of students is already an issue, but much of is soaked up by the spatial area of the tree, providing our residents with some relief. Lastly, cutting down the tree will take away the cooling that it provides. Without the tree canopy, our apartments get hotter and our AC units work harder. We want clean air and natural beauty to live on at Oakhampton. Thank you for considering our request as we want to be mindful of chopping down our Live Oak trees—just trim them! Let’s work together to preserve our clean, beautiful environment for ourselves and our local wildlife. We urge you: Please protect the mature, healthy tree outside building 16 that is marked for removal alongside any others!
