Dear Acterra Family,

Picture a Bay Area no longer dependent on fossil fuels: that’s the vision that motivates all of our work. I am grateful for the support you’ve shown along the way — support that has allowed us not only to persevere during 2020 but to grow, via these key milestones:

Launching our Healthy Plate, Healthy Planet program to build nourishing, empowering food systems that avoid high carbon emissions and unsustainable pollution. We built an online community; screened a documentary about racial justice, culture, and plant-based eating; and hosted a virtual cooking event where star chefs presented plant-based holiday dishes.
Expanding our Karl Knapp GoEV program by recruiting new Ambassadors, translating our website into Spanish, and creating a brand-new series of Financial Incentive Clinics for income-qualifying residents.
Hosting a Silicon Valley Green Team Network Forum on increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the sustainable workplace setting.

We don't make these requests often, but the truth is that contributions from you and fellow supporters sustain our programs and keep the engine of our organization humming. Can you help make our climate-forward vision a reality? Your gift, made now through December 31, will be doubled thanks to a matching 1:1 challenge from a generous Acterran.

Your generosity will help us provide the community with:

Continuing to expand the My Healthy Plate, Our Healthy Planet online community, advocating for healthy plant-based diets for people of all ages and backgrounds.
Launching the new You(th) Be the Change environmental education program focusing on underserved youth.
Event presentation in a variety of formats to provide equitable access, including multi-language, closed-captioning, and American Sign Language.

By acting now, we can help prevent the worst, most catastrophic impacts of climate change and help make our region stronger.

With our deepest appreciation for all you do,

Lauren Weston

Executive Director
