Join us for an engaging presentation on salmon of California.

Historically, California was rich in natural resources. Indigenous communities have lived in harmony with the land and water for countless generations. Among these resources were the abundant populations of Chinook salmon. People cared for the salmon, and the salmon provided for California’s peoples. The diversity of rivers and habitats across Northern California led to four distinct runs of Chinook salmon (winter, spring, fall, and late-fall), named for the time when they arrived in freshwater to begin their upstream migration toward spawning grounds. Adult salmon were present in the rivers nearly every month of the year. This diversity of life histories and habitats resulted in one of the largest salmon populations in the world. However, this changed rapidly with the arrival of European settlers.

Discover the historical connection between salmon and people of Northern California, the changes that took place following European settlement, and the efforts we are making to aid in the recovery of salmon populations while reconnecting communities with their local ecosystems.

Countering Anti-EV Propaganda and Answering Your EV Questions

With the $7,500 electric vehicle tax credit no longer available and the Trump administration removing vehicle efficiency standards, EV sales fell at the end of 2025. But EVs are still the future, and 2026 could be the best year for EVs yet.

Joel Levin, Executive Director of Plug In America,  will join our chapter call to fact-check all the anti-EV propaganda, and explain why EVs are still a critical climate solution.

Plug In America is the national consumer voice for electric vehicles in the United States. In addition to leading Plug In America, Joel Levin is also a member of LA Metro’s Sustainability Council and the California Energy Commission Clean Transportation Program Advisory Committee.

If you have been wondering if an EV is right for you, you won’t want to miss this meeting!

Please note the meeting will be on a Tuesday instead of our usual Sunday.

The San Fernando Valley Climate Reality Project meets monthly via zoom on the Second Tuesday at 7pm. Click here to register for their meetings. And check out their YouTube channel for recordings of past meetings.

Solar Aquagrid is an organization working to cover California's 4,000 miles of public water canals and aqueducts with solar installations, generating gigawatts of clean energy from solar and boosting California's water supply by billions of gallons a year.

The first pilot, Project Nexus in California’s Central Valley, came online in 2025 and has turned stretches of canal into hubs of clean electricity generation in a remote area where cotton, tomatoes, almonds, and hundreds of other crops are grown. This partnership project between Solar AquaGrid, Turlock Irrigation District, California's Department of Water Resources, and UC Merced will demonstrate how solar canals can generate energy and save water, as well as reduce canal maintenance costs and improve water quality. Meanwhile, the California Solar Canal Initiative will explore how and where solar canals can best be deployed around the state!

Join San Fernando Valley Climate Reality for an update on progress so far and what comes next with Solar AquaGrid guest speakers Jordan Harris (co-founder and CEO) and Robin Raj (co-founder and CCO).

An exploration and discussion on Indigenous fire stewardship.

Join the UCLA Center for the Study of Women | Streisand Center for a screening of the short film Fire Tender, directed by Roni Jo Draper (Yurok) and Marissa Lila, followed by a discussion.

Fire Tender tells the story of Yurok tribal members returning to traditional fire practices as an essential form of land stewardship. The film centers on Margo Robbins—grandmother, cultural educator, healer, and Indigenous fire practitioner—who is leading efforts to restore Yurok fire sovereignty: the right to use fire for tribal land care, a practice outlawed under settler colonial policies. Through her work, Robbins challenges more than a century of environmentally destructive anti-fire policies that have endangered Yurok lands and restricted access to the natural resources necessary for clean water, food, and traditional lifeways.
