Have "Your Say"
on the Future of Our City
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed
citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
- Margaret Mead
This group of caring citizens has come together to help bridge the gap that exists between our city's government and its residents to better
meet challenges we face such as budget
cuts, strain on our environmental resources, and an uncertain economic
future.
We intend to play an active role in guiding
decisions that will affect our ability to create a sustainable and vibrant
community, and we invite you to participate. Mark
this page to stay current on upcoming issues, activities, and concerns
that may be of interest to you.
 Friends of Redwood City has joined with Save The Bay, Committee for Green Foothills, and Sequoia Audubon Society in an effort to put an open space initiative on the Fall 2008 ballot. The initiative will give all Redwood City voters the right to vote on any proposals to develop open space, including parks and bayfront lands, or otherwise change these valuable lands to non-open space uses.
We kicked off the initiative drive on March 6 at City Hall with a press conference. Read the Press Release

A Little History

Not High Rises" in 2004, conducting the successful No
on Measure Q campaign.
