“Assembly Bill AB1371 is going toward the governor for a third time.”
I would appreciate some specifics on the most strategic approach to respond to this bill. Is there a point person we should target? What is the status? Are there specific talking points. If there’s a good link I can read-up on, that would be helpful.
You'll have to bug Governor Brown himself; it was his unexpected veto that killed the bill the first time, and again when the bill was rewritten specifically to avoid the condition he pointed to in his original veto message.

I totally agree that bike shops are a fantastic forum for bicycle advocacy. It’s one of the best ways to reach a broad base of people directly affected by bike legislation and road conditions. You get to meet people, one-on-one, and talk about the issues. The Ventura Bike HUB (our shop) is becoming an important forum for the Ventura Bicycle Union (our advocacy arm). We plan to start holding our political meetings at the HUB, as soon as we nail down the location (we’re still building hopping). Depending on how you did your paper-work, most 501(c)(3)s can put up to 20% of their resources into lobbying – as long as it’s not partisan or supporting any particular candidate. ****
