January Club Meeting Report
Sunday, January 18 @ 2:30 pm
Betty Yee, a candidate for governor of California, spoke at a meeting of the Palos Verdes Democrats. She highlighted her background as a daughter of immigrants and her experience as California State Controller, emphasizing her commitment to progressive governance and fiscal responsibility. Yee discussed her priorities as governor, including addressing affordability issues such as housing, healthcare, and electricity prices, as well as climate change. She also addressed questions on topics like economic growth, housing development, and immigration.
Following Betty, the Palos Verdes Democrats are proud to welcome in-person a second extraordinary featured speaker—Terry Tamminen, ranked #1 by The Guardian on its global list of the “Top 50 People Who Can Save Planet Earth.”
Terry presented an overview of AltaSea, a non-profit organization based in the Port of Los Angeles, highlighting its mission to promote the blue economy through education, workforce training, and research. He discussed the organization's efforts in regenerative aquaculture, ocean carbon dioxide removal, and decarbonizing ports using hydrogen energy. Terry emphasized the importance of understanding the planet's ocean resources and the potential for the blue economy to become a trillion-dollar global industry, with Los Angeles having a significant role to play.
