Make Someone Happy

As you settle into your homes for another holiday celebration, please consider those who do not have a home to go to – the dogs, cats, and rabbits living in Santa Barbara County’s animal shelters.

We Stopped the Diablo Testing

Together we can change the world

Back to back, Earth flag unfurled

Our green, the leaves; our gold, the sun

We dedicate water to the salmon run

Our friends are respected, and not vivisected

All of the creatures on Earth are connected

With hearts soft as lupine and stronger than granite

We’re changing the course and healing our planet!
