Amazing Arora tonight, Sunday, October 6. This was the result of a solar flare last Thursday morning. Solar flares take 3.5 days to each earth, and that is what we saw tonight!

ARATINA SEPT 7 RALLY REPORT:

Thanks to everyone who came to (and to those who spiritually supported!) the Rally! You are awesome!

There were about 30 people, including local Boron residents.
Someone called the police, but they were mellow!

Did it matter? YES! The Solar Industry is watching.
The Solar Industry thought that us tree huggers would be quiet after the 2020 meetings where Joshua Trees were put on the California Endangered Species List, but, as we found out, The Solar Industry has bypassed every protection on the books!

Will we stop Aratina? Probably not.
The issue here is that the solar industry has many many many more projects lined up to cut down Joshua Tree Forests. We cannot be quiet. We are going to fight our way across the Mojave Desert - one forest at a time!!

I have heard from multiple "inside" sources that our message is being heard LOUD-AND-CLEAR. We need to keep up the good fight because decisions are still being made!

Remember - The solar industry has its own PR firm - but we can defeat them on social media!

Again, Thank You All!

And stay tuned!!!

NOTE: I am leaving "Voices of Stewards for Joshua Tree" Group - my posts keep getting deleted thre. Stay tuned for another group.

"Stop Aratina Solar" Rally!
September 7@10am
Boron Park / Boron Ave / Boron, California
Please share the flyer!
Why Does ARATINA, or BORON, MATTER to YOU?
Because the Solar Industry is clear cutting Joshua Tree Forests across the Mojave Desert. They will NOT STOP if we do nothing.
Aratina is a classic corrupt project, which got back-room approvals (The public meetings were just theater). Watch the Video - [https://youtu.be/4r_h8dkLRUs](https://youtu.be/4r_h8dkLRUs)
And when Aratina is done, the town of Boron will be faced with dust and Valley Fever. And we will have one-less Ancient Joshua Tree Forest. This is the MO for the Solar Industry.
The change.org petition has over 50,000 signatures - the Solar Industry is Watching - https://www.change.org/Joshuatrees
Almost 1000 emails have been sent to the Solar industry (and over 20 other organiaations) - The Solar Industry is Watching.
We need to show up at the Rally and tell them to stop! The Solar Industry will be watching.
