Thank you for attending the Warming Dance Event on June 8th!
It was an wonderful event allowing us to see some of the climate challenges we face in a very beautiful and artistic way. We also talked about the 30th Anniversary of the Sustainable City Plan. If you want to learn more, visit https://www.santamonica.gov/sustainable-city-plan.
