[Sehefac] Air quality rules: paid UCR student organizers

[dana.simmons at ucr.edu]

Hello SEHE friends,
Our partners at CCAEJ passed this opportunity on, looking for student
organizers at UCR to coordinate support for a SCAQMD rule regulating
industrial boilers. See below and share with potentially interested
students:

Right now, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) is
weighing new rules on industrial gas boilers, and they are planning to
consider them in the first quarter of next year. This is a big fight and
student voices can make a difference, especially since 10% of the affected
units are at universities, and since UCR is the university with the
second-highest amount of possible emissions from these boilers in the South
Coast region. UCR is also critical to these rules as Riverside Mayor
Patricia Lock Dawson is a Board Member at SCAQMD and will vote on these
proposed rules. We’re inviting student organizations across Southern
California to: • Co-sponsor a resolution in student government urging
stronger AQMD rules • Mobilize students to attend AQMD hearings and testify
• Share student stories about the health and climate impacts of air
pollution • Publicize our campaign through social media, campus media, and
events We want and need student leaders to get involved with climate
leadership at the local and regional level, so we're offering $1,000
fellowships for students to do this work. UPDATE: NEW CONTACT INFO.
