| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | THE LAKOTA PEOPLE'S LAW PROJECT CONTINUED TO ADVOCATE FOR THE RIGHTS AND SOVEREIGNTY OF THE LAKOTA SIOUX PEOPLE. WE PROVIDED LEGAL, INVESTIGATIVE, COMMUNICATIONS, AND GRASSROOTS ORGANIZING TOOLS NEEDED BY THE TRIBES TO SAFEGUARD SACRED LANDS AND PROTECT WATER. OUR THREE RESPECTED LAKOTA LEADERS SET PRIORITIES AND WORKED COLLABORATIVELY WITH OUR CALIFORNIA TEAM; PHYLLIS YOUNG, MADONNA THUNDER HAWK, AND CHASE IRON EYES. IN THE FIRST QUARTER WE WORKED CLOSELY WITH CHASE AND THE LEADERSHIP OF THE PINE RIDGE TRIBE IN SOUTH DAKOTA TO RESEARCH AND EXPOSE THE LEAKAGE OF CANCER-CAUSING MATERIALS INTO THE UNDERGROUND AQUIFER BELOW PINE RIDGE. WE HIRED SCIENTISTS WHO ISSUED REPORTS. THEN COVID SWEPT THE COUNTRY. WE WORKED WITH CHASE IRON EYES WHO LED A CAMPAIGN TO PROTECT THE ROAD CHECK POINTS ON THE TRIBAL ROADS TO ENSURE THAT PEOPLE WERE NOT BRINGING COVID INTO THE NATIVE COMMUNITIES. IF THERE WAS ANY SIGN OF ILLNESS, THE DRIVERS WERE ASKED TO DRIVE ON THROUGH AND NOT STOP. THE GOVERNOR THREATENED TO FILE LAWSUITS AGAINST THE TRIBES TO STOP THE CHECKPOINTS. PRESIDENT TRUMP THREATENED TO STOP FEDERAL MONEY FOR THE TRIBAL POLICE. WE AND OUR SUPPORTERS POURED EMAILS INTO GOVERNOR'S OFFICE, AND SHE NEVER CARRIED THROUGH WITH HER THREAT. WE LAUNCHED A GET OUT THE VOTE CAMPAIGN AT STANDING ROCK WITH PHYLLIS YOUNG AND TRAINED 40 TRIBAL MEMBERS TO CALL 250,000 TRIBAL MEMBERS IN ARIZONA, NORTH CAROLINA, AND FLORIDA. 1000S OF CONVERSATIONS HAPPENED BETWEEN OUR TEAMS AND NATIVE VOTERS. LATER THE NATIONAL PRESS, INCLUDING THE NEW YORK TIMES, ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE NATIVE VOTE MADE THE DIFFERENCE IN ARIZONA. WE THEN ORGANIZED A SIMILAR 5 WEEK GOTV CAMPAIGN FOCUSING ON NATIVE VOTERS IN GEORGIA, WHERE WE DIRECTLY REACHED 15,000 VOTERS. CHASE IRON EYES AND OUR VIDEO TEAM CREATED A VIDEO STUDIO AND THE CUT TO THE CHASE ONLINE LIVE MEDIA SHOW IN RAPID CITY, WHICH BEGAN AIRING WEEKLY, PROVIDING MEDIA ACCESS TO IMPORTANT NATIVE SPEAKERS AND LEADERS. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4B | GREENPOWER CONTINUED TO WORK WITH ALLIES AND ELECTED LEADERS TO CREATE LOCAL CLIMATE ACTION PLANS, LAYING THE GROUNDWORK FOR A CENTRAL COAST CLIMATE ACTION PLAN THAT COULD BE A MODEL FOR OTHER REGIONS IN CALIFORNIA. SPEARHEADING THIS IDEA, AND WORKING WITH OTHERS TO BUILD A STRONG ALLIANCE WITH MONTEREY BAY ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP, ECOLOGY ACTION AND THE SANTA CRUZ SUSTAINABILITY OFFICE, GREENPOWER COLLABORATED TO CREATE TWO SUCCESSFUL AND WELL ATTENDED VIRTUAL REGIONAL SUMMITS AT THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY OF MONTEREY BAY DURING THE COVID PANDEMIC. ONE WAS FOR MEMBERS FROM THE ACADEMIC COMMUNITIES TO EXPLORE AND DEVELOP WAYS THAT THE UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES IN OUR REGION COULD PARTICIPATE IN CREATING AND ENGENDERING CLIMATE SOLUTIONS. THE OTHER WAS A SUMMIT FOR THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY TO DO THE SAME. OUR FIELD ORGANIZER WORKED WITH THE COUNTY OF MONTEREY ON ALL THE STEPS AND PREPARATIONS FOR THEM TO DEVELOP THEIR CLIMATE ACTION PLAN. OUR GREENPOWER AND ROMERO LEGAL TEAMS CONTINUED WORKING ON THE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF A CALIFORNIA GREEN NEW DEAL THAT WOULD BRING DOWN OUR STATE EMISSIONS AND BEGIN THE TRANSITION TO A JUST AND RENEWABLE ECONOMIC FUTURE, THE GOAL BEING TO CREATE A SOLUTION IN THE FIFTH LARGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD THAT COULD HELP OTHER STATES AND NATIONS BRING DOWN CARBON EMISSIONS AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. WE CONTRACTED WITH AN EXPERIENCED FORMER MEMBER OF OUR COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS WHO WROTE A LEGISLATIVE BILL, AN AMENDMENT TO THE HISTORIC CALIFORNIA GLOBAL WARMING SOLUTIONS ACT OF 2006, THAT WOULD TAKE EVERY ACTION TO REDUCE EMISSIONS WITH DUE SPEED, AND BE ACCOUNTABLE TO THE PUBLIC BY MAKING QUARTERLY REPORTS ON THE CONCRETE PROGRESS. WE WILL BRING THE LEGISLATION TO SACRAMENTO IN JANUARY OF 2021. |
