The League in ACTION!

League members are active in outreach and planning activities in a number of important areas.​​​

​

• The San Jose League is actively supporting public education on the importance of a full 2020 Census count. Our teams are busy working on outreach efforts to assure that every person is counted. Why do we need the 2020 Census? Learn more below:

​

  How can you can help with the Census? Find out          more  HERE.

​​

• Should the City of San Jose change its form of governance -- from the current Council-City Manager system to a "strong mayor" system? The League is looking at the impacts of this change and how it would affect our community.

​​

• We are actively supporting the upcoming Schools and Communities First Initiative and will be participating in public education programs over the next year.​

​

• The Natural Resources/Climate Change Committee continues to monitor progress around San Jose Clean Energy, noting the efforts to move more San Jose residents to elect "Total Green," for 100% carbon-free, and 100% renewable energy. Read more about our Climate Committee HERE.
