#benjealous — Public Fediverse posts

Thurs, May 8 at 6 pm in the Gawain Family Outdoor Theater at York School: Ben Jealous, Monterey County native and currently executive director of Sierra Club. Event is free and open to the public. - Report by Agata Popęda, #MontereyCountyNow https://www.montereycountynow.com/blogs/opinion_blog/prominent-civil-rights-activist-ben-jealous-returns-to-his-alma-mater-for-a-discussion-on/article_3a3800e0-84d8-4bd9-b07d-f5202f41c79e.html

Our #transportation advisory: York School is off Highway 68, which we personally bike on frequently but as brief a distance as possible (high-speed traffic, no bike lane). Carpooling encouraged. (TMK, and it’s a Catch 22: Due to heavy traffic on CA SR 68, making it nearly impossible to keep to a schedule, it’s just not feasible for Monterey Salinas Transit to provide bus service.)

Speaking of Hwy 68: We’re about to make yet another report to #Caltrans about more broken car parts not cleared from the shoulder. (Sigh. Not unusual, e.g., https://sfba.social/@bikemonterey/113709985426108972.) Where to report: https://csr.dot.ca.gov/

This from #Benjealous #SierraClub is REALLY worth a read: "In reality, Trump’s 'America First' agenda threatens to make the United States a less compassionate, less equitable, less healthy nation for all."

Thanks to Monterey County native Ben Jealous!

“He called the #NAACP chapter taking #Chevron’s money a 'dangerous precedent,' and said the “'real danger…is demonstrated by what the #FossilFuel industry has done to #Black communities across this country' through #air and #water #pollution. https://www.montereycountynow.com/opinion/mcnow_intro/the-local-naacp-asked-ben-jealous-sierra-club-s-national-leader-if-he-was-willing/article_8c1b527c-76e0-11ef-88f6-574227467d24.html - @pammarino, #MontereyCountyNow
