Community Conversations
What are Community Conversations?
Our Conversations program brings in films and speakers to build community dialogue. Our Conversation Circles program relies on relationships with local leaders to foster community-driven solutions and determine which of our programs best fit the needs and desires of local residents.
We continue to look for new ways to draw upon local wisdom and inspire and support grassroots initiatives for the good of the whole.
Here are some of the ways we have been a part of the conversation. Check out past offerings, and let us know if you are interested in working with us to host a talk or movie screening or engaging in dialogue within your community.

A Toxic Facility in Your Neighborhood? It Could Happen with Changes to State Law
Imagine waking up to find a manufacturing facility being built in your community, one that may release arsenic, lead, PFAS, hexavalent chromium, and other toxic chemicals into your air and water. If you live near industrial-zoned land anywhere in California, this can now happen without your receiving notice of the project’s construction or its associated health risks. Learn about this change and efforts to restore key protections.
Celebration Gratitude from Sustainable Solano
We would like to extend a warm thank you to everyone who attended our 25th Anniversary celebration! Your presence truly made the evening special, and it was wonderful to see so many familiar faces and meet new friends who share our passion for the mission of our organization.
Sustainable Solano’s Position on California Forever
Sustainable Solano has remained publicly silent until now about California Forever, both as a proposal and a ballot item. But we have spent that time in active discussions as a team and board to weigh the California Forever proposal and the process taken to get it to this point and test it for alignment with Sustainable Solano’s mission and objective to nurture initiatives for the good of the whole. We have determined the motives behind California Forever do not align with our values as an organization, even if some parts of the proposed community do reflect measures we would like to see for Solano County’s existing cities.
