The draft of this bill includes shortcuts and sweeping exemptions from environmental review from State permitting agencies. This bill also promises to "loan" PG&E up to $1.4 billion to cover costs of extending Diablo Canyon’s operating life - with all of the loan potentially "forgivable." It agrees to pay PG&E $7 per every megawatt-hour of power generated which would mean an annual subsidy exceeding $120 million.

(The listed times are for the local Pacific time zone). They cover a fairly broad range of topics, so please just ignore the ones you' Mon, 7/4, 10 am -- Building Global Movements for Peace, People & Planet -- With Jeremy Corbyn plus international guests Yanis Varoufakis, DIEM 25, Greece // Sevim Dağdelen, Die Linke MP (Left Party), Germany // Gabriel Rodriguez, International Transport Workers' Federation, Argentina // Gyekye Tanoh, Third World Solidarity Network, Ghana //Varsha Gandikota-Nellutla, Progressive International and Danièle Obono, MP & spokesperson for La France Insoumise -- Come together and discuss how we build global movements for peace, people and a better world -- Chaired by Kate Hudson, CND: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/building-global-movements-for-peace-people-… Mon, 7/4, 11 am -- An evening with Yanis Varoufakis - Wycombe CLP -- Wycombe CLP has the pleasure of welcoming the eminent Greek economist and politician Yanis Varoufakis for a discussion on Zoom. A former academic, he served as the Greek Minister of Finance from January to July 2015 under Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras. He has been Secretary-General of MeRA25, a left-wing political party, since he founded it in 2018. He has been a member of the Hellenic Parliament for Athens B since 2019 -- Yanis will be discussing his new book 'Another Now' which is about how we can create a fair and equal society and creating a post capitalist society that is far more realistic than we think -- This will no doubt generate widespread interest and be a fantastic opportunity for political education for members and supporters - we look forward to seeing you all!: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/an-evening-with-yanis-varoufakis-wycombe-cl… Thu, 7/7, 3 pm -- 'Presumed Guilty: How SCOTUS Empowered Police & Subverted Civil Rights' Book Talk with Alliance for Justice -- Please join Alliance for Justice for a conversation with Berkeley Law Dean, Erwin Chemerinsky, and ACLU National Board President, Deborah Archer -- For decades, the Supreme Court has knelt to police power, and communities of color have suffered disproportionate levels of harm and police violence as a result -- Apart from the brief decade during which the Warren Court narrowly expanded the rights of the accused, the Supreme Court has historically sided with police and enabled racist practices. The chipping away at those rights has caused too many to become victim to police brutality and violence -- Join a discussion with Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky on his most recent book, "Presumed Guilty: How the Supreme Court Empowered Police and Subverted Civil Rights", and the Supreme Court's compliance in expanding police violence: https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2022/06/16/18850512.php Mon, 7/11, 11 am -- Dawn of Everything Book Discussion Group -- Detailed discussion of the 2021 book by Graeber & Wengrow, hosted by anthropologist Dr. Michelle Merrill -- We will meet every other Monday (11:00 am Pacific) to discuss the book chapter by chapter -- Registrants will receive questions to consider in their reading, plus additional info, slides and video from our preliminary meeting -- This recent book provides fodder for deep dialogue about possible futures. We can use this as a space to explore the human capacity to work together as we co-create a world that works for all beings. Join us in a series of probing conversations, facilitated by Novasutras founder and resident anthropologist, Dr. Michelle Merrill -- “The Dawn of Everything is the radical revision of everything, liberating us from the familiar stories about humanity’s past that are too often deployed to impose limitations on how we imagine humanity’s future. Instead Graeber and Wengrow tell us that what human beings are most of all is creative, from the beginning, so that there is no one way we were or should or could be. Another of the powerful currents running through this book is a reclaiming of Indigenous perspectives as a colossal influence on European thought, a valuable contribution to decolonizing global histories.” ~ Rebecca Solnit, author of A Paradise Built in Hell and Hope in the Dark -- Ch 10: Jun 13, Ch 11: Jun 27, Ch 12: Jul 11, Wrap-up: Jul 25: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dawn-of-everything-book-discussion-group-regis… Sun, 7/31, 12 Noon -- Burning Issues Book Club (July 2022: GIVE PEOPLE MONEY) -- Burning Issues Book Club (BIBC) is an online and local book club that gathers to read and discuss non-fiction works related to climate change, environmental degradation, environmental and social justice, and implementation of social change movements -- Burning Issues Book Club (meets last Sunday of the month) -- July - Give People Money: How a Universal Basic Income Would End Poverty, Revolutionize Work, and Remake the World -- August - As Long as Grass Grows: The Indigenous Fight for Environmental Justice, from Colonization to Standing Rock -- September - The Violence Project: How to Stop a Mass Shooting Epidemic: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/burning-issues-book-club-july-2022-give-peo… *===========================* To submit events for our newsletter, please email a short blurb to news(a)sfgreens.org.
