Our current campaign has ended...
but check back for updates on the CalAm permit application

CalAm pulled their permit application the night before the September 17, 2020 CCC Special Meeting. We  don't currently know when the permit will be brought back, but stay tuned!

We Need Speakers!

Your Voice will make a difference!
​The California Coastal Commission was going to hold a special meeting via ZOOM September 17, 2020 that was scheduled to decide the Cal-Am Coastal Development Permit application.
 Although Cal-Am pulled their permit application last minute in September 2020, we will need speakers when a new permit is submitted. All those not speaking can only view the meeting via C-Span.
