Mostly here to win climate @switch_box and improve access to justice in @CalCourts. Used to: @codeforamerica, @foodcycle, @whitehouse

For the last 4 years @cydharrell and I've led a tech + design team within California's Judiciary charged with improving the court experience for the state's most vulnerable users. I wrote a bit about why #civictech should care more about courts https://t.co/SP3HpPt8KD

Come find out why CA's neighborhood decarbonization program is one of the most ground-breading pieces of state climate legislation to pass this year. This Thursday!

[Building Decarbonization Coalition @buildingdecarb]

Tune in to @switchbox_data this Thu, Dec. 5 as Beckie Menten, California Director at BDC, discusses the strategy that got CA's Neighborhood Decarbonization Program (SB 1221) over the finish line. 🏁

[Building Decarbonization Coalition @buildingdecarb]

🎉@CAGovernor signed #SB1221! This key climate bill will pave the way for neighborhood-scale decarbonization and upgrade our communities with clean energy infrastructure for long-term energy affordability. @SenDaveMin @BuildingDecarb @earthjustice @nrdc https://t.co/meSqQHo7qK

Win Climate is dead; long live Switchbox! New look, same great think tank. https://t.co/bT2bdFrHXD

@buttsmeister Same thought two weeks ago. Regulatory capture by mini-mart guy?

[David Pomerantz @DavidPomerantz]

We now have examples from CA (SoCalGas) and NY (National Fuel) of gas utilities raiding ratepayer-funded accounts that are supposed to be used to promote energy efficiency and illegally using the money to fight building electrification policies.

Really interesting mix of court partners and projects for the first year of the Judicial Innovation Fellowship. And you can still apply to be part of the first cohort. https://t.co/QlEfL7DMLQ

@pt The argument is more ppl riding bikes means more political will for better infrastructure. In Europe it’s mostly the inverse.

[jack madans @jackmadans]

The future is e-bikes

[David Zipper @DavidZipper]

Denver has now distributed ~5,000 e-bike vouchers.

According to a city survey:
🔹 The average rebate recipient replaces 3.4 car trips/wk with an e-bike
🔹 ~30% never biked before at all
🔹 ~100k car miles have been displaced in 8 months

@jtashea @margarethagan @samuelharden @dehirsch1 @ZachZarnow Here's the civil case journey @cydharrell created during our research in CA. Too simple?

[jack madans @jackmadans]

Turns out your City can do more than write you a parking ticket

[jack madans @jackmadans]

Excited to get this out into the world. Shout out to @mshron for jumping on board and putting in the 💪 to build the model.

[Switchbox @switchbox_data]

🚨Big announcement!🚨

Today we presented a report to legislators on how much new single-family homes would save under the All-Electric Building Act that's being considered in New York State 👇

In case you need a first hand account of NIMBY dog whistles

[Jordan Grimes (on Bluesky @cafedujord) @cafedujord]

Hi folks! I’m attending a council meeting in the San Francisco peninsula suburb of Hillsborough, one of the most affluent towns in California.

Tonight’s topic: the town’s state mandated housing plan. Rezoning for multifamily housing is being considered. People are *big* mad. 🧵

[jack madans @jackmadans]

@alexsoble @cydharrell 🙏Oh, I know that room!

[jack madans @jackmadans]

Special shout out to @cydharrell my mentor turned partner-in-crime for joining me on this journey and is responsible for the better half of any worthwhile insight I’ve shared here.

And we had a lot of help. I'm so indebted to the many talented humans who jumped thru hoops to bring their skills and passion to a tour of service with the Courts. @exygy @chapter_three @mcbarnicle @jarango @rohan_d @rohan_d @bonniekatewolf @exygy @chapter_three @brad_frost
