Avenues for Action: A Climate Change Workshop
Are you making a new year’s resolution to do something about climate change? Join your neighbors and others in the midpeninsula community at this free event:
WHEN: Saturday, January 25,
9:30 am to 2:00 pm (lunch included)
WHERE: Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Redwood City, 2124 Brewster Avenue, Redwood City
Since lunch is included, we need to know how many are coming, so
pre-registration is required. Go to: https://tinyurl.com/Avenues4ClimateAction
As climate scientist Dr. Katherine Hayhoe said, “The most important thing you can do about climate change is talk about it.”
We’ll start off in small group discussions to share our personal response to this global challenge — then get inspired by some “good news” created by collective action. We’ll hold conversations with others to explore various perspectives and learn about a variety of ways to get involved — from making changes in our own homes, to local community action projects, to larger group efforts, and citizen engagement at state and federal levels.

Move Your Money:
Divesting from Fossil Fuels & Investing for the Future
Redwood City Main Library, Community Room, 1044 Middlefield Road
Monday, March 4, 2019, 7-8:45 pm Free!
Hosted by Fossil Free Mid-Peninsula
Is your money supporting your values and your vision for our world? David Elliston of CleanPortfolios and Fossil Free California will expose how large banks use our money to fund fossil fuel infrastructure and explain how divestment works to create social change.
Learn about the impact of your banking and investments, and how we can direct our impact consciously:
- How large banks fuel climate change with our money.
- The impact of owning stocks, bonds and funds: our power over corporations.
- The explosion of new socially responsible banks and low cost funds.
- Resources, tools and personal coaching, offered freely to help you divest & reinvest.
This workshop is for everyone whether you are thinking about opening your first bank account or have been investing for many years.
Come get connected and join the divestment movement for a cleaner, more sustainable world.
Note: The meeting space is provided as a community service by the City of Redwood City. The City neither sponsors nor endorses this event nor the presenting individual or organizations.
