We hope you'll join us for SBCAN's GREAT Community Brunch 

 This year, on our 15^th anniversary, Santa Barbara County Action Network is holding a community brunch that aims to be “GREAT” (Gathering Resistance and Effective Activism Together).

At this moment of national peril and extraordinary grassroots resistance, let’s celebrate our bonds and renew our progressive community. This is SBCAN’s South County Fundraiser for this year, but more importantly, it is a an important opportunity to strengthen the structure of our collective work to resist the agenda pushed by the new administration, which everyday appears more anti-immigrant, anti-environment, anti-social justice, and anti everything SBCAN and its partners have stood for over the years.

• Keynote Speaker: The Honorable Salud Carbajal, reporting on his first 75 days representing the Central Coast in Washington, D.C.
• Featured Panel: A conversation among leaders of some of Santa Barbara County’s key environmental and social justice organizations sharing ideas on how we can all work most effectively together and continue to be a GREAT coalition of progressive organizations. We are honored to have Dave Davis moderate the panel.

The panel members are:

• Marcos Vargas, Fund for Santa Barbara
• Sigrid Wright, Community Environmental Council
• Linda Krop, Environmental Defense Center
• Maricela Morales, Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE)
• John Grant, United Food and Commercial Workers Local 770

We will also be honoring the Isla Vista Community Service District for achieving, after nearly a half-century of trying, a path to community self-governance.
