Friends of Veronica Jacobi

I am super excited, proud, and grateful for the endorsement of our campaign by the Sierra Club!

Thanks Marilyn Milligan! "I fully agree with Veronica Jacobi's campaign statement. The issues she discusses, and on which she has made progress - climate change, homelessness, education - are of vital importance to the present and future life of the Santa Rosa community. Not only do I agree with her stand on these issues, but I see that she has the education, skills and experience (former Santa Rosa City Council member) to develop realistic ways for tackling climate change, homelessness and education. I look forward to helping her accomplish her goals. It is a pleasure for me to give Veronica Jacobi my endorsement for Santa Rosa City Council." - Marilyn Milligan, PhD, Community College Instructor

Mike Hudema on Twitter “Tiny urban forests can help urban settings and help fight . The brainchild of the Japanese botanist Miyawaki is taking his idea global. We have so many solutions. Let's stop the delays and implement them. ”

Big thanks to Julie Combs, former Councilmember for her endorsement!

"Veronica Jacobi is the candidate most explicitly and thoroughly committed to working on climate change issues locally. She has the engineering smarts to know what that means in practical terms. Climate change is the biggest challenge ever to face humanity, and it will clobber us if we don't make some profound shifts both nationally and locally. Roni is best qualified to lead the way."
- Richard Heinberg Senior Fellow, Post Carbon Institute, Author, POWER: LIMITS AND PROSPECTS FOR HUMAN SURVIVAL

A lot has happened since I've posted on here last, lol. I'm very grateful and feel extraordinarily honored by the endorsement of author Richard Heinberg for Santa Rosa City Council, 6th district.

RSN: At the Epicenter of Super Tuesday, the Sanders Coalition Is Set to Shake the Political World Solomon writes: For many years, corporate media outlets said it couldn't be done. Now, they say it must not be. To the nation's punditocracy - tacitly or overtly aligned with the nation's oligarchy - nominating Bernie Sanders as the Democratic presidential candidate would be catastrophic.

fossil fuel subsidies are immoral... realizing they are that huge and comparisons to education funding is nauseating, sigh grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

United States Spend Ten Times More On Fossil Fuel Subsidies Than Education Amidst reports of a continuing climate crisis, an International Monetary Fund study released last month shows that USD$5.2 trillion was spent globally on fossil fuel subsidies in 2017. The United States has spent more subsidizing fossil fuels in recent years than it has on defense or education.
