Civicorps

Women are already out here welding, wiring, building, leading, and proving every day that apprenticeships are a critical pathway to high-wage careers.

Apprenticeships don’t just train workers — they change lives. 🛠️

Being Planted Where We Grow Today we hear about the “tree army” from the 1930s that helped build today’s Tilden and other East Bay regional parks. Then, a new story from California Institution for Women.

So cool to be part of today's Crosscurrents report on @kalwradio.bsky.social. Kudos to Sheryl Kasowitz for enlivening the history of the Civilian Conservation Corps and East Bay Regional Park District. Thank you for bringing Civicorps Corpsmembers into the story!

While the federal government rolls back climate policies California’s leadership is more important than ever. Reauthorize Cap-and-Trade & appropriate Prop 4 funds NOW.

We urge you to reauthorize Cap-and-Trade and appropriate Prop 4 funds this year @buffywicks.bsky.social @bauerkahan.bsky.social @asmmiabonta.bsky.social @jessearreguin.bsky.social @asmlizortega.bsky.social

Invest in paid job training & wildfire prevention.

We're calling on you to TAKE ACTION NOW.

🚛💚 Rolling out the Green Machine!

Thanks to a grant from @cacoastal.bsky.social, our brand-new Chipper Truck + “The Intimidator” wood chipper are officially on the job. Together they break down branches + brush to support fire mitigation + land management. Making community safer 1 chip @ a time. 🌳

Urge California Leaders to Invest in Climate Resilience! We have a once-in-a-generation chance to protect California’s state parks and meet climate goals. Tell your legislators and Governor Newsom: natural and working lands must be included in any Greenhous...

Healthy lands cut wildfire risk, improve air, and support communities. @asmmiabonta.bsky.social @asmlizortega.bsky.social + @CAgovernor, reauthorize the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) and invest in nature-based solutions: act.calparks.org/a/ggrf2025

#ReauthorizeGGRF #ClimateAction

Too often, we talk about wildfires after the damage is done. Let’s flip that script.
