Next week, the City of Oakland is starting something exciting and

transformative. On December 11, Oakland will host the first of several

public workshops to get everyone's best ideas for how to green

Oakland. As the city charts a path toward a greener future, let's make

sure that opportunity for underserved communities is first on the

agenda.



WHAT: Public Workshop for Oakland's Energy & Climate Action Plan

WHEN: Thursday, December 11, 2008, 7-9 PM

WHERE: Oakland City Hall (at 14th St. and Broadway), Hearing Room 3



Too often, planning and decision making takes place without the input

of low income communities and people of color. Not this time. Ella

Baker Center and the Oakland Apollo Alliance will be there to

represent the diversity of voices in Oakland. Join us as we help

define what it means for Oakland to be a "model city."



At the workshop, you will:



:: Learn about the planning process for the Oakland Energy & Climate

Action Plan;



:: Find out how the City of Oakland will set priorities within the Plan;



:: Weigh in on how Oakland should maximize renewable energy and energy

efficiency, create green jobs, and save ourselves from the climate

crisis.



If you plan on coming, please let us know by sending a quick message

to Emily Kirsch, our Bay Area Organizer, at

greenrsvp at ellabakercenter.org.



The next day, December 12, from 9-11 AM, the Oakland Apollo Alliance

will hold its regular meeting at the Workforce Development

Collaborative, 1433 Webster Street, Oakland. This is an opportunity

for Oakland Apollo Alliance members and those interested in the

Alliance to discuss the Oakland Energy & Climate Action Plan and

strategize ways to be part of the decision-making process. This is a

critical opportunity to collectively guide Oakland towards a

sustainable and equitable urban future. We hope you can join us!



See you there!
