Berkeley Neighbors for Housing and Climate Action (BNHCA)     We know climate change is the foremost threat to the planet, and transportation is the single greatest source of greenhouse gas emissions in both Berkeley and California. We know Berkeley's housing shortage directly contributes to these high emissions by forcing middle- and low-income workers into increasingly long and miserable commutes. Therefore, we believe we must create more homes in Berkeley, for all income levels. This is the most environmentally sound and socially equitable solution to our shared housing and climate crises. Our common destiny is our shared opportunity. We believe that by creating transit-rich, diverse, and walkable neighborhoods, we can be a regional leader in tackling climate change while becoming a more affordable and equitable city for ourselves and future generations.     Web: https://bnhca.org/     [19 Oct 2024]

Beyond Pesticides     Works with allies in protecting public health and the environment to lead the transition to a world free of toxic pesticides. The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them.     Web: https://www.beyondpesticides.org/     [09 Sep 2023]

Big Livestock’s Big Greenwash     The total combined livestock emissions of 15 of the world’s largest meat and dairy companies exceed the individual emissions of ExxonMobil, BP and Shell. At a crucial time when the planet must dramatically reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, these global animal protein giants are driving consumption of meat and dairy by ramping up production and exports. Many of these companies claim to have ambitious climate targets – but when you look beyond the rhetoric, much of it is greenwash.

Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund (DREDF)     A leading national civil rights law and policy center directed by individuals with disabilities and parents who have children with disabilities. Americans with disabilities make up one of the United States’ largest minorities. More than 25% live in poverty and only about 20% have gone to college. Seventy–five percent are unemployed. Such economic and social disenfranchisement is not an inevitable consequence of the physical and mental limitations imposed by disability; it is the result of society’s historic response to those limitations: lack of accessibility in the built environment and policies that encourage or even require exclusion, segregation, and institutionalization. The result is a legacy of prejudice and paternalism that is deeply embedded in the social consciousness.     Address: 3075 Adeline Street, Suite 210, Berkeley CA 94703     Voice: (510) 644-2555     Fax: (510) 841-8645     Email: info@dredf.org     Web: https://dredf.org/     [23 Sep 2023]

That’s why we pay close attention to the issues confronting these oppressed groups and intentionally seek leadership from within those groups.     Web: https://radicalelders.net/     [01 Jun 2024]

We want to break that mold: we’ve been staging public events and going door to door as volunteers to support key causes (like single payer healthcare!), but also to build solidarity where none existed.     Web: https://siliconvalleydsa.org/     [06 Aug 2023]

Silicon Valley Transit Users     We are the kinds of people who use mass transit such as VTA buses, light rail, Caltrain, and ACE instead of a car to commute.

Whether it’s a bus line that stops running after certain hours (and/or doesn’t run often enough), ACE or Caltrain not running often enough, or light rail/rapid bus that does not run through an overcrowded corridor, many obstacles await those who choose mass transit in Santa Clara County instead of driving a car.     Address: PO Box 390069, Mountain View CA 94039-0069     Voice: (408) 888-2208     Email: info@svtransitusers.org     Web: http://www.svtransitusers.org/     [21 May 2022]

The Simpler Way     By now we all understand the importance of reducing resource and energy consumption and stepping more lightly on the planet.

The aim of this website is to provide a practical action plan for those people who wish to live a ‘simpler life’ of reduced and restrained consumption. If you start with the steps outlined on this website and enjoy the process of transition, soon enough a new way of life – the Simpler Way – will emerge. The Simpler Way represents a life with less clutter, less waste, and less fossil fuel use, but also a life with more time for the things that truly inspire and bring happiness.     Web: http://simplerway.org/     [07 Aug 2022]

And capitalism is threatening the entire planet with its unplanned, profit-driven stranglehold over the means of production. Workers built it all — it belongs to society, not to a handful of billionaires! But we need a revolution to make that change. That’s why for 55 years WWP has been building a revolutionary party of the working class inside the belly of the beast.     Web: https://www.workers.org/     [29 Apr 2023]
