The first of the 2025 Climate Fridays Santa Barbara monthly gatherings started on January 3, when over 50 dedicated local environmental advocates came together. The second on on Friday, February 7, focusing on Sable Offshore was just as large.
Community members, non-profit leaders, and many Sierra Club members gathered to bring environmental issues to the forefront in the new year. Kathi King hosted the event at the Community Environmental Council Hub on State Street in Santa Barbara and Irene Cooke and Maureen Ellenberger facilitated the meeting.
Our Sierra Club Santa Barbara, CEC and the Fearless Grandmothers have partnered to bring these monthly gatherings to the central coast. With the grim reality of 2025 staring us in the face, we will join with fellow activists and friends to take collective action, get educated, and collaborate to protect our planet.
We will be stronger together, to face whatever the coming year throws at us. We hope to include representation from as many environmental and social justice groups as possible. Together, we will raise awareness and amplify our voices in the community. Please join us for climate action and engagement in 2025.
Climate Fridays SB gather every first Friday of the month from 3:30-5pm at the CEC Hub.
