Raise your voice for birds and communities at California Virtual Audubon Advocacy Day 2022!
Come support the state bill that SCVAS is co-sponsoring on Wednesday, August 3, 2022.
Join our chapter and chapters across California on Wednesday, August 3, 2022, to speak with your state legislators to save birds and increase access to nature. You and fellow members in your district will meet as a group with your legislators via Zoom. It’s easy and makes a big difference!
This year, Audubon California is supporting three bills for which we will be advocating. Even more excitingly, our very own chapter co-sponsored one of them, Light Pollution Control (AB2382)! Many of you have been helping us implement bird-safe building design principles and lighting controls to protect birds and insects at night throughout Santa Clara County, so let's share our successes with the rest of the state. This bill that we are co-sponsoring will require all buildings owned by the State to implement measures to reduce light pollution. The other two bills are Equitable Outdoor Access Act (AB30) and California Conservation Ranching Incentive Program (SB977). Learn more about these bills here.
Let’s show our state legislators that SCVAS members care about protecting birds and the night sky. It is not too late to register for the event here.
