Dear Sonoma SASS members,
As part of the coalition efforts, we serve on the CPR state policy committee, which meets weekly. As promised, I will share updates and calls to action from this committee. Call to action #1:
Please promote this notification petition via all communications and social media networks. We are seeking 10K signatures on this petition by June 11 and need you help spreading this:

You can also link this youtube video with a call to action to accompany the petition:

Call to action #2:
On June 11 at 1pm, we will have a call with CA DPR to request notification for pesticide spraying to families living near farms. I will speak on our behalf, and would like to represent our SASS community. Please share any talking points you would like me to speak to on this google doc, and I will do my best to synthesize these for the call. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OOp2pSs1X-QmMAjzZK3K2BZVrlxBRDTifgOwsoVfkUg/edit?usp=sharing
Next Steps:
Thank you for your continued support of Sonoma SASS. Please feel free to share these resources with our SASS, GASP, PPWG, and respective partner organizations for promotion.
