MobilizeHands Off! Santa Barbara Fights Back · Mobilize**Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them.** Santa Barbara is fighting back! They're taking everything they can get their hands on—our health care, our data, our jobs, our services—and daring the world to stop them. This is a crisis, and the time to act is now. 🚨 **On Saturday, April 5th, we're taking to the streets to fight back with a clear message: Hands off!** 🚨 📍 Where: De La Guerra Plaza, 8 East De La Guerra St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101 📅 When: 1-3pm, April 5, 2025 (pre-rally sign making at noon) Event principal Co-Sponsors: Indivisible Santa Barbara * Women's March Santa Barbara This mass mobilization day is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. Alongside Americans across the country, we are marching, rallying, and protesting to demand a stop the chaos and build an opposition movement against the looting of our country. A core principle behind all Hands Off! events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. Check out handsoff2025.com for more information.

A Community Event Hosted by Santa Barbara Permaculture Network sbpermaculture.org/
sbpermaculture.org/events.html

Santa Barbara Permaculture Network celebrates its 5th Annual Eco Hero Award, a community event that honors those making significant, positive change in the world.

How we continue to build will affect the chances of survival for our grandchildren.  Modern buildings are often toxic to both the builders & the inhabitants, with many becoming chemically sensitive to products used.   Natural building, with materials like clay, straw, wood & stone are not only non-toxic, they are life enhancing, and if designed correctly, conserve heat & energy.  Natural building has joined the modern age with beautiful and functional structures, that are also less likely to burn in wildfires.

Please join us for a very special evening with Bill, Athena & Roxanne in person, with time for conversation and questions about Natural Building.  **What is it? Why did it become their passion & lifework**?  How is it different from Green Building?  What do they see as the future of natural building, especially for young people looking for a meaningful lifepath & career.

**Sunday, March 23, 6:30-9pm, 2025**
TICKETS $10, $20, & Friends of Eco Hero $100 (students & kids free)  
**Location: Lobero Theatre**

Please join us on Tues, March 11 at 6:30pm for the monthly Santa Barbara Beaver Brigade meeting.  Along with regular discussion group, we are planning for the upcoming Annual SLO Beaver Festival in San Luis Obispo, we are cosponsors of the event.  It takes place on April 12th 2025, 10am – 3pm SLO Mission Plaza, San Luis Obispo, CA, don’t miss it, so fun, and San Luis Obispo so beautifully green in the Spring, a great day trip.

Also just announced, the 2025 State of the Beaver annual conference, November 18-20th,  once again at the Seven Feather Conventions Center, Canyonville Oregon (just south of Roseburg).  We attended two years ago, it was exceptional, beaver & wildlife enthusiasts & experts from all over the country.  Very important to support all beaver endeavors, they can help so much with fires, drought, and capturing carbon in wetlands they create, while government is cutting funding on EVERYTHING, beavers work for free. 
Hope to see you, it’s a special time just to visit & talk with others when things seem a bit uncertain, human connection so important.  
If interested in volunteering, we could use some help with maintaining email lists, hosting meetings, etc

SB Beaver Brigade Meetings always the 2nd Tuesday of the month (no meetings in July or December)
Location:  South Coast Watershed Resource Center, Arroyo Burro County Park (Hendry’s Beach)

"UC Santa Barbara has the highest participation rate in S.N.A.P. out of all UC campuses, according to fall 2019 data. Almost 3,000 students applied for benefits in the last year, out of 56,000 recipients in the entire Santa Barbara County (SBC), according to county data.

Skimming, when someone attaches illegitimate technology to card readers to copy Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) information, resulted in 700 cards being canceled in the month of January, SBC Public Information Officer Kelsey Buttitta told the Nexus. While the county could not specify how many, some of these accounts included UCSB students who received letters from the county stating that their information was at risk of being compromised."
