about 350 Silicon Valley
we are stronger together.
350 Silicon Valley is a volunteer-led nonprofit dedicated to fighting for climate justice. We work under the umbrella of 350 Bay Area, 501(c)(3). We mobilize residents of Santa Clara and San Mateo counties for a speedy and just transition away from fossil fuels to 100% renewable energy.
​
We formed in 2013, in informal affiliation with the international organization 350.org. We collaborate with many partners on divestment and reducing the carbon footprint of municipalities to achieve a clean energy future with racial, economic, and environmental justice.
Our vision is a vibrant world where climate justice prevails

any action and any amount can make a world of difference.
It's easy to confuse us with 350.org. 350.org periodically sends out communications to all local supporters. Please note that, while we are aligned with their overall mission to end fossil fuels, their policy positions and endorsements are often independent of ours.
