ACTION: Call: Ask your CA State Assemblymember to Co-Sponsor SB. 308 , the Carbon Dioxide Removal Market Development Act!
SB. 308, or the California Carbon Dioxide Removal Market Development Act (CDRMDA), is new OpenAir-supported state legislation that has been introduced by State Senator Josh Becker (SD-13). For a great FAQ about SB. 308, go here. The bill already made it through the State Senate on May 25th. Now we need the Assembly to pass it. And this will only happen if voters reach out to their assemblymembers in large numbers by phone to directly urge them to cosponsor and vote for the bill. Please call your assemblymember today!

1. Introduce yourself
“ Hello, my name is [your name] and I’m a resident of [your city or town] in Assemblymember________’s district.”
2. Say what you are calling about:
“As a constituent I am calling to urge Assemblymember______ to co-sponsor the Carbon Dioxide Removal Market Development Act, or SB 308.
“This is new legislation that was introduced by State Senator Josh Becker.”
NOTE: The person who answered the call might ask for your email and for you to restate the bill name or number at this point.
3. Briefly explain why you think the CDRMDA deserves their support.
You can state this very briefly in your own language, based on why you think the bill should be made into law. But here are a few key points that are important that you can use:
- Climate scientists agree that carbon dioxide removal is a critical piece of solving the climate crisis, along with clean energy.
- California should lead on CDR now, because it will help our state meet its climate commitments.
- California can build a world class carbon removal sector, creating jobs and opportunity around the state.
- The bill will create a new program to fund breakthrough carbon dioxide removal technologies and projects in the state.
4. Offer to email further information by email and thank them!
- “I have some links related to this bill and to CDR. Who should I email those to in your office?”
- Record the email given and enter it into the field in Step 2, along with your own email below it, and hit ‘send’. The email will go to both you and the staff member.
5. Goodbye
- “Thank you for taking my call”
