Santa Cruz doesn’t have a park downtown, so no central space for a big gathering, just this park on the other side of the San Lorenzo river. This park actually was once a neighborhood, Garfield street, but it flooded frequently and was condemned in the 1950s when the levees were build.

The South Pars is part of the largest natural gas field in the world, and its refinery infrastructure is a major global producer of condensates - feedstock for plastics, naphtha, jet fuel, etc.

This will be the largest solar and storage project in the United States. There will be 50% more battery storage here than at Moss Landing. ☀️🔋🔌💡

Last month, the CEC rejected the first application to go through this process, which was a wind project in Lassen County that had already been denied by local government and had biological resource - and apparently also land tenure/ownership issues.

ICE is expanding its raids into California’s agricultural heartland—targeting farmworkers mid-season, spreading fear ⚠️ This is an assault on families, farms, and food security. This isn’t enforcement—it’s a witch hunt. We stand with immigrant communities. seiu.co/3ZZsCOG

That's @padilla.senate.gov on the ground, cuffed by Trump's neo-Nazis. 6,621,616 Californians voted for him. He represents nearly 40 million people and a $4.1 trillion economy.
