Sonoma
Casino Plans Change
We worked with a diverse group of Sonoma County organizations
to stop a casino from being built on sensitive bay lands, and now we are
assessing a new proposal to build a casino on the outskirts of Rohnert
Park.
Victory
in Brentwood!
After years of determined work by Brentwood residents and
Greenbelt Alliance, in August the Brentwood city council unanimously
adopted an inclusionary zoning ordinance.
