League Membership: The Power of ‘We’

Since it was formed, the Planning and Conservation League has been just that—a league of groups working together on policies to better California’s environment. When PCL was established in 1965, there was no unified voice for conservation efforts in the Capitol; we played a pivotal role representing local organizations and communities that would otherwise have been left out of the dialogue. Even today, with an increased environmental presence in Sacramento, local groups are often disengaged and overlooked in the policy-setting debate. In response, PCL is looking to dramatically grow, diversify and revitalize our League membership. It is only by having a robust and engaged membership that PCL will be as effective as possible in impacting public policy at the state level. A vital PCL will also magnify the power of local organizations and communities that are still underrepresented in Sacramento. Simply put, League partners are our eyes and ears on the ground, while PCL is their voice in the Capitol
