We at Santa Barbara County Action Network invite you to support farmworkers during CAUSE and MICOP's day of action in Santa Maria at 11 a.m. on Sunday, April 28 and to read the new research report Harvesting Dignity: The Case for a Living Wage for Farmworkers.
We hope many SBCAN members will join the rally and march. Please email [email protected] if you will attend.
Here is a message about the day of action from our allies at CAUSE:
1) Sign this Petition to the Board of Supervisors, which SBCAN will submit to the County of Santa Barbara.
2) Submit written comments to the Board of Supervisors at [email protected]
3) Attend the April 29 (North County sites) and May 3 (South County sites) board rezone hearings in person or by Zoom and provide public comment. We will send out another reminder later this week when further information becomes available.

SBCAN stands with Santa Barbara Channelkeeper in urging Santa Barbara to put limits on cruise ship visits and their impacts. The Santa Barbara City Council is expected to take final action on recommendations to reshape the City’s Cruise Ship Program at its April 9, 2024, meeting (City Hall, Council Chambers- 735 Anacapa Street). The Council meeting will begin at 2:00 PM and should be the most critical step in this 2-year public review.
It is imperative that our community participates. Please plan to attend in person! If you are unable to attend in person, written comments and participation via zoom are available to show your support. Read more about this initiative here.
