Call to Action from the American Sustainable Business Council

I recieved this call to action from David Levine of the American Sustainable Business Coalition.

Join B Lab and American Sustainable Business Council in Sacramento on May 3rd to support Benefit Corporation Legislation in California (AB 361 – Huffman)

Benefit Corporation Legislation AB 361 (Huffman) is being heard before the California State Assembly’s Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, May 3rd at 9:30 am in Sacramento. The path to passage begins with a physical demonstration that businesses want Benefit Corp legislation. The May 3rd committee hearing is the first and last chance for Benefit Corporation legislation to move forward this year. Your help is critical. It’s simple: when asked by the chair of the committee, each of you will in turn stand up, state your name, company and one or two sentences on why you support Benefit Corporation Legislation.

May 3rd Agenda

8:30 – Short welcome and photo opp on steps of the Capitol with AB 361 sponsors Assemblymember Huffman, Assemblymember Blumenfield, and Senator Leno.

9:30 – Assembly Judiciary Committee Hearing on AB 361 (Huffman) Benefit Corporation Legislation.

11:30 -1:00 – Lunch with Assemblymember Huffman. We’ve arranged for wireless access for all of us who need to stay connected throughout the morning.

Please reply by email and indicate your willingness to attend the Committee hearing in Sacramento on Tuesday, May 3rd and be part of our efforts to the create a new sector of the economy that uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. We have some offers for carpooling from San Francisco, so if you need a ride or can offer a ride, please also let us know.

Thanks
