Drive-Clean-a-Thon April 24th at 4 pm At Sister District Marin and Swing Left Marin, we know that environmental issues are important to Marin voters. We also know that swapping a gas car for an electric vehicle is the single most important environmental action to reduce a household's carbon footprint. Whether you know a lot or are simply e-curious, you and yours are invited to join Kevin Morrison, a member of our leadership team, at the Earth Day Drive-Clean-A-Thon hosted by our friends at Drive Clean Bay Area. According to Kevin, “This free, fast-paced, live-via-Zoom event will focus on saving time, money, and the planet. In just 45 minutes, you will feel readier-than-ever for the rEVolution!" Click this link. Then share with your peeps who are ready for an EV or e-bike. They’ll be pleasantly surprised to discover how EVs and e-bikes are better (and less expensive) than ever.
