Tell Us What Matters to YOU

To serve you and the county better SCCA would love to know what concerns YOU. Please fill out our short survey to let us know what you’d like us to focus on in the new year. Your feedback will directly inform our actions, campaigns, and advocacy strategies, ensuring that we focus on the environmental issues that matter most to you.

Building Community

To continue building a sustainable and just Sonoma County, we need your involvement. Legislative decisions on critical issues like climate action, water, air quality, equity, and affordable housing are being made every day. We need dedicated volunteers to monitor and advocate for these issues at local and state levels.

We are calling on our members to become Political Board Watchers—to attend meetings of City Councils, Boards of Supervisors, and other legislative bodies. Whether your passion lies in forestry, social justice, transportation, or another key area, your efforts will help hold decision-makers accountable and ensure that our values are represented.

To streamline your involvement, we’ve created a Volunteer Interest Form where you can share your areas of interest and availability. Whether you can commit to a few hours a month or more, your participation makes a difference.
