The South County Roundtable will begin with our Congressman Salud Carbajal, live from Washington, DC, giving us his report on the Capitol ordeal, expectations for the inaugural week—and a sense of what to expect in the first days of the Biden administration and the new congress.

Congressman Carbajal is only available for the first 15 minutes, so try to join between 11:40 a.m. and 11:50 a.m. so we can all settle in before he starts his remarks.

The remainder of our session will focus on State Street and downtown Santa Barbara. We've invited Alex Pujo, one of the leaders of the group of architects that initiated the participatory design charrette project for State St. He'll provide an overview to help us figure out possibilities and priorities for the State Street development. And council member Meagan Harmon, who chairs the council subcommittee on State Street, will be on hand to report on that committee's immediate purpose and plans, helping us to see how citizen engagement can be directed. 

If time allows we will also hear updates on the upcoming eviction cliff in February and California Assembly Bill 15 which would extend COVID tenant protections.

Hopefully there will be time for some short announcements and reports.

If you haven't already, please let me know if you will attend so I can send you the Zoom link.

The Board of Directors of Santa Barbara County Action Network appreciates the support you have given us. You have made it possible for us to continue building our strong local network of progressive folks and creating bridges between environmental and social justice activism.

Thank you to those of you who have renewed already. If you haven't, please make a contribution now.

If you haven’t contributed in a couple of years or more, your donation before the end of 2020 will be doubled. We have a generous supporter who will match new donations dollar for dollar up to $10,000.

We at Santa Barbara County Action Network appreciate the support—both financial and participatory—you have shown us over the years.

For nineteen years Santa Barbara County Action Network (SBCAN) has been the preeminent nonprofit organization working on both sustainability and social justice issues throughout the county.

We have many partner organizations, to be sure, but we always strive to be countywide and working on a wide range of progressive issues—especially looking for issues that might fall through the cracks otherwise. Please look at the attached inventory of what we have been working on.

In spring of 2021 we will convene our annual Membership Meeting—virtually this time—and we really hope we will see you there.

With increasing competition for foundation support, we are all the more reliant on our members, major donors, and fundraisers. Therefore, we hope that you will make a membership donation that suits your budget and helps SBCAN continue its educational and advocacy roles.

It is easy—as always—to contribute at: https://sbcan.nationbuilder.com/membership_annual_dues. There is also an option for automatic monthly payments at https://sbcan.nationbuilder.com/membership_monthly_dues. You can also mail a check to P.O. Box 6174, Santa Maria, CA 93456.

We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at our annual membership meeting.

Sincerely,

Janet Blevins, Co President

Dick Flacks, Co President

We at Santa Barbara County Action Network write to you again, following up on our message from last week seeking your financial support.

We are pleased to announce that we have hired Nadia Lee Abushanab as our new Advocacy and Events Director. Just two weeks on the job and Nadia has testified several times before commissions and councils. Among other topics, she is researching mobile home and other housing issues, coordinating with people who are planning our local actions regarding the Green New Deal, and is starting to plan our events for 2021.

A recent graduate from UCSB with a BA in Environmental Studies, Nadia has been working on food security and housing issues and—with enthusiasm—is diving into the range of issues SBCAN is involved in.

Some of you have already responded to our funding request and we thank you for your support. We hope all of our supporters will step up, to the extent they can, to assist in our work throughout Santa Barbara County and especially to welcome Nadia to our staff.
