Santa Barbara County Action Network Roundtable

Friday, November 7
Noon-1:30 p.m.
Via Zoom
Register here

The November South Coast SBCAN Roundtable features a presentation by Kelly McAdoo, recently appointed Santa Barbara city administrator. We've asked her to present an overview of the proposal to transform Paseo Nuevo with a large-scale housing development.

The terms of the plan include significant concessions to Paseo Nuevo leaseholders. These terms, and the fate of affordable housing, are among questions being raised by city planning commissioners, some members of the city council and the city housing authority. The roundtable hopefully is a chance to understand the debate, which is important to the city's future. It's also a chance to meet Ms. McAdoo.

Agenda
  1. Welcome by SBCAN Co-President Dick Flacks
  2. Santa Barbara City Administrator Kelly McAdoo discusses the city staff proposal for housing development at Paseo Nuevo and responds to community questions
  3. Updates from participants

Rally with TSA workers; what's the plan; remembering free speech movement

 

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 26

 

  STAND_WITH_SANTA_BARBARAS_TSA_WORKERS_(1).jpg

 

MESSAGE FROM CENTRAL COAST LABOR COUNCIL

Rally with TSA Workers

The federal government shutdown is pushing into its 4th week. Federal workers are suffering and deserve better. Stand with them and tell Congressional Republicans that they're playing games with workers' lives and livelihoods. 
 
In an effort to take healthcare subsidies away from middle class workers, Congressional Republicans and the Trump Admin are holding federal workers hostage. Americans deserve better. Protect workers and END THE SHUTDOWN NOW!!
 
Please join us this Sunday, October 26th at Santa Barbara Airport and rally in support of TSA Workers who are being targeted by the government shutdown. This is an opportunity to stand in solidarity and call on leaders to prioritize the livelihoods of working people and end the shutdown!
 
Where: Santa Barbara Airport
500 James Fowler Rd, Santa Barbara, CA 
When: Sunday, October 26th at 1pm 
  
Help us get a big turnout! 
 
Thank you, 
Jeremy Goldberg

ARTICLE FROM NOOZHAWK

From Oil Field to Wildlife Refuge: Chevron to Donate Coastal Land

Land transfer west of Guadalupe marks a major milestone in decades-long cleanup of former Unocal site

Following years of work cleaning up an old oil field, Chevron plans to donate more than 2,700 acres of coastal dunes to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a move that would double the size of the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes National Wildlife Refuge.

The donation agreement, signed on Sept. 16, would expand the current 2,553-acre refuge in northwestern Santa Barbara County and southwestern San Luis Obispo County. The refuge will help protect habitats for 29 special-status species, including the endangered California red-legged frog, western snowy plover and La Graciosa thistle plant.

MESSAGE FROM DICK FLACKS

A Soundtrack for No Kings!

No Kings is inspiring many new protest anthems just in time for Saturday's mobilization. You can find a lot on YouTube. This week I curated a mix of these which, I guarantee, will get you ready to march. Performances from Bad Bunny to the Raging Grannies. And we'll close with words by Mahmoud Darwish, Palestine's national poet, in observance of the ceasefire. You can tune in on the radio, but this link enables you to listen and download whenever you want.

SATURDAY 10/11/25 at 9:30 am our friends at CAUSE (they have a new office in Lompoc!) are hosting a YES ON 50 Canvassing training and door knocking event!  This is a crucial campaign to mobilize immigrant, working class, and young voters to educate them about this special election and get them to vote!

MESSAGE FROM CAUSE

Prop 50 Campaign

Across the Central Coast and throughout California, our communities are under attack. Millions are at risk of losing healthcare. Families are barely making ends meet. And ICE is getting billions to terrorize neighborhoods – all while Trump and his billionaire allies tighten their grip on power. 

Have you or someone you love felt the impact? Proposition 50 is how we fight back. 

Trump and MAGA leaders are working with states like Texas to rig our democracy – redrawing districts to give themselves permanent control. But here in California, we’re not backing down. Prop 50 is our way of taking power back and protecting our right to fair elections and representation. 

CAUSE Action Fund is launching a grassroots campaign to reach as many voters as possible – and we need you with us. 

Join a campaign kickoff near you: 

Trump and the rest of MAGA knows their agenda is deeply unpopular –  from militarizing our communities and tearing families apart to stripping away healthcare and ignoring the needs of working people. Instead of facing voters in the 2026 midterms, they’re trying to change the rules to hold onto power. 

That’s exactly why we, as Californians, must vote YES on Prop 50 – and why we need a strong grassroots movement to get out the vote. This is a critical moment to organize, mobilize, and show that when we build power from the ground up, we can hold extremists accountable and protect our democracy. 

Let's make it clear: this country belongs to us, the people. We draw the line here. 

Ready to take a stand? Pledge to vote and sign up to volunteer. 

In solidarity, 

Hazel Davalos and Lucas Zucker
Co-Executive Directors
