A heartfelt thank you to Pacific Gas and Electric Company for their generous grant support to the North Valley Animal Disaster Group!

Because of PG&E’s investment, NVADG has purchased a zero-turn mower to help conduct STRATEGIC FUEL MITIGATION around livestock and large animal sheltering areas at the Camelot Equestrian Center. This critical equipment will help reduce wildfire risk, create safer defensible space, and better protect animals during emergencies and disasters.

Partnerships like this strengthen our community’s resilience and help ensure we are prepared to safeguard both people and animals when wildfire strikes.

Thank you, PG&E, for supporting proactive wildfire prevention and animal safety throughout our region!

On what would have been his 86th birthday, we honor my friend and colleague, civil rights icon Representative John Lewis. I was proud to join him during the 2016 House sit-in to demand action on gun violence and again in 2019 when the House passed universal background checks. May we continue to follow his example, getting in “good trouble” in the fight for justice and equality for all.
