100% clean electricity for city operations
A city council resolution committing every municipal building, streetlight, and pump station in Calder City to 100% clean electricity by 2030 — with a public progress dashboard so nobody has to take anyone's word for it.
Full council vote expected September 2026

Petition drive — FY2027 county budget hearings this fall
Put Measure L — 22 school roofs — on the November ballot
Measure L is a facilities bond that would put solar on all 22 Calder Unified school roofs, cutting the district's power bill by an estimated $610,000 a year — money that goes back into classrooms. Bonds pass when neighbors hear about them from neighbors.

The coalition
Faith halls, union locals, student clubs, tenant unions, growers — the coalition is what makes a council chamber feel like the whole city showed up. A few of the crews we march with:
How we're funded: small gifts from neighbors, published in a one-page budget every January. No countdowns, no guilt — give what's sustainable.
