TALC's 10th Annual Summit
Bay Area Solutions to Global Warming
Cooling the Planet with Walkable Communities and World Class Transit

PRE-REGISTRATION IS CLOSED. On-site registration ($30 at the door) will be available, space-permitting. 
Plenary speakers include Assemblywoman Loni Hancock, Chair of the Natural Resources Committee; Michel Gelobter, President of Redefining Progress; and David Burch of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (not pictured).

TALC's 10th Annual Summit will focus on the interconnected issues of smart growth, public transportation, bicycle/pedestrian safety, affordable housing, and community health, and how they relate to global warming.

Whether you are new to these issues or a longtime TALC supporter; whether you are a citizen activist, elected official, or planner; TALC's Summit is the place to get involved, strategize, network, and hone your advocacy skills in the movement for a better Bay Area.

The Summit will be at the First Unitarian Church (685 14th St.) in downtown Oakland, which is convenient to BART and many AC Transit routes. On-site registration for the event, $30 at the door (space permitting), includes a light breakfast, lunch, materials, and free attended bike parking.
