The Protecting Public Lands workgroup has spent the last month preparing a series of alerts to provide talking points for EDP members to share with family and friends regarding the upcoming election. We have highlighted Tom McClintock's dismal record on the environment (he earned a score of 0% in 2017 for his voting record on environmental issues from the League for Conservation Voters, 4% in 2018!). We know that our beautiful public lands are a treasure for the residents of District 4, and looking at McClintock's record, it is obvious that he does not share these values. Please take a few moments to read our series of message alerts at https://eldoradoprogressives.org/env-alerts.

Last month a group of EDP-ers volunteered to helped clean up the American River through the American River Conservancy. It was good, satisfying work with a lovely BBQ afterward.
