Wake Up California

there is no time to lose — the stakes ARE JUST getting higher. JOIN the WAKEUP UP COALITION and be part of A UNIFIED VOICE AND MESSAGE.

Organizations doing good work in fighting housing policy are listed here for convenience; the listing does not imply that they have joined the coalition. 


Those who do will be highlighted.   


If the idea of a coalition with strong, consistent messaging interests your organization, please contact Amy for more information at:  1citizenmarin@gmail.com  

We can connect people with relevant organizations

Resources

By having a single resource to track organizations, we can grow faster. Future projects will include a library of articles produced by orgs and small press / local authors. There will be  resources for organizing, lobbying, and — when we’re ready — protesting. 

Listing by organizational expertise

We all have our focus, from tracking legislation, safety, lawsuits, ballot initiative, and more.

Listing by area

Neighborhood and city organizations are listed by city, making it easy to find  a place to join.

STATEWIDE organizations

State Alliance For Firesafe Roads Regulations

Climate-intensified wildfires are a fact of life in our region and throughout California.  More intense and frequent wildfires result in devastating loss of life and property – horrific wind-driven fires are jumping freeways and burning residences both within forests and far from the “Wildland Urban Interface.” 


SAFRR commends the State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection’s (BOF) 2022 decision to uphold road standards that are protective of life by adopting and expanding statewide Minimum Fire Safe Road Regulations, despite opposition from development interests.  


The intent of fire safe road standards is to provide for access by large firefighting equipment with simultaneous evacuation of residents and workers.

California Cities for Local Control

Sacramento Legislators continue their attack on Cities ability to manage their own land-use and zoning. And CCLC is continuing our efforts to bring attention to the bills that impact cities in this way, and to lobby legislators to stop the passage of these types of bills, and instead support bills that encourage desired behaviors, while respecting the individuality of Cities.

United Neighbors

United Neighbors is a coalition of neighborhood residential groups throughout California. Our common goal is to protect multi-family and single-family neighborhoods while supporting affordable and equitable housing for all. The rights of all residents and the rights of people needing affordable housing are bound together, and the solution to our affordable housing crisis requires thoughtful, effective, and rapid-acting legislation with community input. 


United Neighbors looks forward to working with elected officials so they can implement good housing policy with community inputs and ideas. We encourage everyone to counteract the false narrative that single-family zoning is the cause of our affordable housing shortage and instead collaboratively solve the real problem – the urgent need for effective funding strategies.

Center for Biological Diversity

At the Center for Biological Diversity, we believe that the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature — to the existence in our world of a vast diversity of wild animals and plants. Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that species need to survive. 

We want those who come after us to inherit a world where the wild is still alive.

Founded in 2000—Friends of the Hills is an organization of citizens dedicated to the preservation of the open space concept upon which our town was founded in 1956. The Town of Los Altos Hills was born out of need to be an unencumbered independent town – preserving its uniqueness within the Santa Clara Valley as a beautiful rural community with peaceful vistas of rolling foothills and natural open space.

Members of Hills 2000 recognize and respect these founding principles: low density, homes with open space, pathways, sound environmental practices related to responsible water use, reducing carbon emissions, and enhancing fire safety – not only to preserve the fragile urban/rural balance but is among the major reasons that our Town has proven to be such an inspirational place to live.
