Silicon Valley Local Chapter

Forming a Local Chapter in Santa Clara County

We would like to grow a new local chapter in the South Bay area (centered in Santa Clara County in California). We’re integrating work with the South Bay Interfaith Climate Justice Network. We’d like to know if there are people in Silicon Valley (a.k.a. the Valley of Heart’s Delight, including the Tamien/Guadalupe River watershed and the Coyote Creek watershed) or thereabouts who are interested in participating in local events.

Contact Michelle if you want to get involved and help make more happen in Silicon Valley.
