IRS990/Desc0Sonoma County Conservation Action (SCCA) is the nonpartisan, advocacy arm of Sonoma Countys environmental movement. SCCAs full time organizing staff has knocked on more than 50,000 doors each year for the past 15 years, identifying environmentally concerned county residents, distributing issue and candidate information, generating membership and mobilizing residents to write to decision-makers and to volunteer for electoral campaigns. One of SCCAs driving goals is to create and maintain environmental policies of the local City Councils and Sonoma County Board of Supervisors. This is done through the efforts of our canvassers, who door-knock, hand-shake and identify progressive voters months before every election. Conservation Action then watchdogs by holding the local elected officials accountable by publishing a political report card, which grades our electeds on their voting for the environment for the year, and on how well they are listening to their constituents.Sonoma County Conservation Action will continue to steward the environmental vote by knocking on tens of thousands of doors each year, ushering in the next wave of environmentally concerned residents. Furthermore, we will continue to organize neighborhood precinct teams to facilitate a strong environmental vote. Conservation Actions commitment to grassroots organizing in Sonoma County will ensure that future generations will be able to enjoy our scenic coast, majestic redwoods, and rolling hills.
