planning stages right now and are working on an event where we will show the
water line here locally in 50-70 years. There are many places in the south
bay that will be significantly under water with just a few feet of sea level
rise. This will be a very visual event and a real chance to bring serious
attention to Keystone and the urgent need for climate policy. We hope you
will join us and help make a HUGE impact! Look for more information
soon!</font></div>

Locally, the Santa Clara Water Board voted unanimously to divest from fossil
fuels. The national body of the UCC (United Church of Christ) has passed a
divestment resolution and other faith communities are advancing their own
divestment resolutions. Bay area groups are working on divestment
campaigns for CalPERS and STRS. 350 SV is supporting Stanford and Santa
Clara University students as they campaign for divestment of their university's
funds. We have also created a <a href="http://signon.org/" target="_blank">SignOn.org</a> petition to Vanguard to offer a
fossil free portfolio alternative. This petition will soon be available on
the 350 Silicon Valley website <a href="http://www.350siliconvalley.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.350siliconvalley.org/</a>.

Eshoo, Honda and Lofgren representatives in September to underline the
importance of taking action on climate change before the start of the new
congressional session. A concrete near-term ask is that our
representatives join the Safe Climate Caucus, ensuring that the topic of Climate
Change is no longer ignored in congress. My ask of all of you is to go on line,
read the letter that we will be transmitting, sign it, and ask your family or
friends in the district to also sign it. Please only sign the letter for
your own representative. These letters can be found at:</font></span></div>

XL</font></b></div>
<div><font face="Calibri" style="font-size: 12pt;">We had a huge win on Keystone XL
with the announcement by the State Department of an internal review into an
alleged conflict of interest by the contractor which did the draft environmental
impact study. This could delay the final report until January 2014, although
this is not certain, it could still come out anytime. We need to remain vigilant
and ready... After the next big anti-KXL event on 9/21, the 350SV NTS team will
work to support CREDO's resistance movement should the recommendation come out
in favor of KXL. 75,000 people have pledged to resist, the resistance to KXL is
growing around the country, we can stop it, and this will be a major milestone
in the climate movement in the US, a turning point in the struggle of climate
activists against Big Oil!</font></div>
