California Environment, Economics, and Indigenous Issues
We're reblogging and originating diaries on our title topics and everything related --education, energy, housing, history, infrastructure, minorities, even local politics, and more, because they all inevitably impact personal and public environment and econ in this the largest economy in the US and 5th largest in the world.

Climate/Environment Fight
Inspired by Governor Jay Inslee who prioritizes defeating climate change first and foremost, this group embraces his positive message that the same Americans who put humankind on the moon can defeat climate change and thrive while doing it. As the first generation to feel the sting of climate change, we accept the mantle of being the last generation who can defeat it. FACEBOOK :https://m.facebook.com/InsleeClimate-First-346799152621048/

Crowdsourcing the 50 State Strategy
We as a party and a movement need to reflect on the fact that we actually need candidates on the ballot to win elections at the local level. Many offices run unopposed. One of Daily Kos's greatest strengths as a community is to serve as a collective-think-tank-activist platform. Join us to document the Congressional candidate filing deadlines in your state and to propose who we can recruit. We can crowdsource this. Let the research, brainstorming, and outreach begin. Who wants to join us in org...

DK Fans of 90 for 90
Voter registration and getting out the vote (GOTV) are critical to positive change in legislative bodies, from the very local level to the national level. Dr. Fergie Reid, Jr., and Brenda Hill started a movement in Virginia called 90 for 90, in honor of and inspired by Dr. Fergie Reid, Sr., who was the first black person elected to the Virginia legislature since Reconstruction, who served there for many years with distinction, and who recently turned 90 yea...

Firearms Law and Policy
To advocate effectively for repeal or passage of firearms legislation we must first know and understand current law and policy, and how both are implemented, where we live. There is enormous variability across the country; the relative utility/relative risk of firearms is different on a 500 acre ranch in Montana than for a 1000 square foot apartment in New York. State and local laws reflect that diversity. We will discuss firearms law and policy with an emphasis on the many historical ethics an...

Itzl Alert Network
The weather is brutal. If it's not murderously hot, it's freezing cold, or flooding. There are tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, blizzards. Power goes out, and suddenly you're cut off. Beyond that, some of us have disabilities or illnesses that we're dealing with alone. It would be nice to know someone has our back. The Itzl Alert Network is a community where we can meet potential buddies in our geographic areas to check in on us if we aren't reporting in here, to make sure we're OK, and if s...

Repeal or Amend the Second Amendment (RASA)
Our group promotes informed discussion about repealing, re-interpreting, or amending the Second Amendment of the US Constitution, following the infamous Scalia-led decisions in Heller and McDonald. Re-interpretation under a Democratic-majority Supreme Court might be easiest. If that is not possible, then repeal or amendment may be the last recourse. (This is not the same as banning guns. Gun regulation could e....
