Dear Subscriber,
Transition Santa Cruz aspires to be a community of communities. The plan is for working groups in various issue areas to be linked by their vision of building community resilience. This plan is coming to fruition, as there are now several working groups. If you'd like to explore getting involved in a working group, email:
Best wishes,

Social Change & Nonviolent Communication
|  Transition Initiatives understand that having the tools to resolve social conflict is essential for an era in which declining resources prod us to greater interdependence. We're grateful to sponsor a 5- week series in Nonviolent Communication for Social Change, led by Kristin Masters. Kristin plans to explore "4 keys to social change work in the spirit of NVC: Transform enemy
images, grief/despair work, coming from a beautiful vision,
celebration/gratitude. This will all be applied to the movements you
are passionate about, the change you wish to be and see in our world."
Pre-registration is requested. The tuition request is a sliding scale $100-$200 for the series. But don't let money stop you from attending, since everyone is welcome no matter what amount they offer. For more information, or to register, click here. |

Housing & Land Use Action Plan
Transition's new Housing and Land Use Working Group will present their ideas regarding the Santa Cruz draft General Plan and invites your input. The General Plan will guide development and transportation decisions through 2030. As such, it is essential to our goals of sustainability and housing affordability. Now is the time to have influence in the the process.
We'll start with a video clip of an interview with New Urbanism pioneer, Peter Calthorpe, and examples from Portland. Next, we'll hear from David Foster about the working group's proposals, and get feedback in small groups.
