As we reflect on this election season, we find ourselves navigating a mix of emotions. National results may have left us disheartened, but locally, Sonoma County has proven that our collective efforts can create meaningful change. Together, we’ve championed the protection of open spaces, supported forward-thinking climate policies, and ensured our community’s voice is heard.
Why Community Engagement Matters Now More Than Ever
These successes remind us that progress begins at home, in our neighborhoods, and within our local government. 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.
How You Can Help
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.
Together, We Can Drive Change
In times of uncertainty, it’s essential that we come together to create the future we want to see. Let’s continue to build on our local victories and make a lasting impact, one decision at a time.
