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

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.Culture of Protest

MESSAGE FROM LOMPOC INDIVISIBLE
YES ON PROP 50 Sign Waving Brigades
YES ON PROP 50 Sign Waving Brigades are here! Help support this important proposition and help get out the vote! We have several people who have stepped up and committed to helping turn out the vote!
There’s a NO on 50 sign on the fence facing La Honda Elementary that gives the appearance that the school is supporting No on 50. To try to counter that, we want the parents at the school to know that YES on 50 is the way to vote!
- 10/10/25 FRIDAY at A Street by La Honda Elementary: 7:15-8AM during parent drop off times
- 10/10/25 FRIDAY at A Street by La Honda Elementary 12:15-1:30 during parent pick up times at the school

FRIDAY 10/10/25 11:30am-1:00pm Steep & Speak is happening at Capulin Eats! Join members of our Self-Care committee for a cup of tea or coffee, or maybe lunch.
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! Come at 9:30 to learn more, and if you can walk - they’re hitting the streets immediately afterward. Location: 1010 North H Street.
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.
Join a campaign kickoff near you:
- Santa Barbara: Saturday, 10/11, 9:00 AM at Alice Keck Park, Santa Barbara
- Lompoc: Saturday, 10/11, 9:30 AM at 1010 N H St., Lompoc
- Santa Maria: Sunday, 10/12, 1:00 PM at 1619 S. Broadway Santa Maria
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
