We are on HOUR FOUR of this hearing. The opposition to Harvard's project is overwhelming. Thank you to everyone who is staying on to support Cuyama farmers' testimony.
We are here at the Santa Barbara County Planning Commission hearing in solidarity with local farmers to OPPOSE Harvard's proposed reservoirs in the Cuyama Valley. This project would have devastating impacts for water access. #StopHarvardLandGrabs https://t.co/9tCPCeOyNn
