prop 16

Yesterday morning, I was the third person to vote at my poll place. It was just after the polls opened, but it gave me a sense of dread about the election- especially given the two corporate-backed Propositions attacking the rights of low-income people and the fact that much of the voter participation was driven by highly contested Republican primaries for Governor and Senator.

This is a guest piece from David Room. I often introduce myself as Melia's Papa when meeting someone new. Melia, my seven year old daughter, is my inspiration for working on clean energy. The indigenous saying "we do not inherit the planet from our parents; we borrow it from our children," resonates strongly with me. I think it is our responsibility to pass on a healthy planet to the next generation. That’s why I bike, take rapid transit 20 miles to pick up Melia from school, and campaign for Community Choice Energy- a promising new model in the energy sector.
