Surfrider has an online action alert where California residents can send a message to your State Assemblymember. If you live outside California but visit the state and would like to see this bill passed, click here to find out which Assemblymember represents the district that you visit, then contact them directly. A quick call with 'Please ask the Assemblymember to support SB 568 foam reduction for cleaner beaches and waterways' goes a long way.
Most important at this point is to show support from restaurants that would be regulated by this bill. Research has shown that there are cost-competitive alternatives available to businesses and that customers prefer more environmentally-friendly options.
Do you know a California restaurant that would support SB 568? If so, an official letter of support would make a big difference in this campaign. Click Here to download a sample letter of support that can be signed by a restaurant owner or manager and includes instructions on how to send it in. Please feel free to contact any local restaurants directly or send restaurant support suggestions to rap@surfrider.org
