As February unfolds, we proudly recognize Black History Month, a time to honor the countless contributions and powerful voices of Black leaders throughout history. Black history is American history, and Black history is incredibly important to the Bay-Delta's history.

Updates on the Delta!

CDC staff ‘blindsided’ as child vaccine schedule unilaterally overhauled The Trump administration took unprecedented steps to recommend fewer vaccines for children without extensive consultations with career scientists.

RFK Jr. made sweeping changes to the list of recommended childhood vaccines without consulting with doctors and experts. It puts us all at greater risk of preventable disease and should concern us all. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

They’re killing white women in public, so just imagine what they’re doing to detained POC.

Great colleagues and public participation did this. And you all did it fast!

Help us save the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta!

California deserves a sustainable water policy!

You can feel it in your bones. Something has changed. 🙌🙏🫶👇

#ICYMI: Trump’s plan to pump more water in California is ill-conceived and harmful, lawmakers say

🔗https://bit.ly/48VrBuz

In a recent LA Times report, seven lawmakers led by @repgaramendi.bsky.social, are pushing back against the Trump admin's plan to pump more water out of the Delta.

The Delta was once home to one of the nation’s largest commercial salmon fisheries that fed Americans and employed the region’s diverse population. Restoring water for salmon runs is restorative for the region’s people as it will improve water quality for all.

California officials and environmental groups immediately condemned the move, warning it could jeopardize water supplies and cause the collapse of salmon and other species.

Michael Tubbs urges focus on root causes of violent crime after Stockton mass shooting California lawmakers and former Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs are calling for deeper investment in communities following the latest Stockton shooting.

This is a reminder when Advanced Peace and the Office of Violence Prevention were fully operational shootings were dropping rapidly by high percentages in #stockton.

Being tough on crime isn’t about tough rhetoric. What happened here is a cautionary tale for US.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.

The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.

Where is the MAHA outcry?

Trump is just gonna keep bombing people until somebody gives him a Nobel peace prize.

Why would Jeffrey Epstein kill himself in jail if he had this much leverage of the one person who could give him a full pardon?

NOT DISCUSSED NEARLY ENOUGH THIS WEEK:

Trump’s all over the Epstein files so he’s having Venezuelans killed as a distraction. Because of these crimes against humanity, a 4-star Admiral resigned and the British, the Dutch, and the Colombians are no longer sharing intel with the USA.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

The dam is breaking. The pedophile president's grip on the GOP is slipping away as another Republican sides with the victims and against Jeffrey Epstein and Dirty Donald. The Epstein files are going to be released. 😳👇

Work done by our best partners!

📌How could ANY Democratic senator who watched what happened Tuesday night, and then surrender to the party they battered just five days later?

Because they are public servants who serve their private interests.

🚨 @sfbaykeeper.bsky.social, Restore the Delta, and advocates are calling on the Delta Stewardship Council to honor its commitments to environmental justice and transparency for public review of the Certification of Consistency for the Delta Conveyance Project (DCP).
