Environmental justice demands strong leadership from our state agencies. Our 2020 Environmental Justice Agency Assessment by @cejapower assesses the work of 10 critical agencies. Download the full report now at bit.ly/EJAA2020
Happy #EarthDay 🌍 Today I'm imagining a just, healthy & regenerative future for our planet and its people - a future w/o fossil fuel extraction in BIPOC communities and a future w/o fossil fuel extraction period. @sensusaneggman will you lead or hold us back #YesonSB467
#SB467 protects Californians -- a majority of which are low-income and BIPOC -- from the dangers of dangerous drilling practices while offering fossil fuel workers protections steps toward a just transition.
Call these Senators today to tell them we demand a #YesonSB467

Enough is enough! Join us and @AliceBraga @LanaParrilla @CaroWar @JaneFonda @NicoleRichie @ConnieBritton and @LauraDern in calling on CA lawmakers to say NO to fossil fuel racism and #YesOnSB467 >> bit.ly/31gAFIg
#NoDrillingWhereWereLiving @VoicesCA @CRPE_EJ
#AB1087 is modeled on community-powered mutual aid systems during disasters. Led by @APEN4EJ, @CEJApower and @NRDC, the bill is the ONLY frontline led climate resilience bill this year. @AsmBillQuirk @AsmEGarciaAD56 @SantiagoAD53 @AsmAutumnBurke please support AB1087‼️ #CalLeg
I stand in solidarity with @GarmentWorkerLA in support of #SB62 which will finally bring fair wages to garment workers. @SenatorUmberg @SenatorBorgeas @CASenCaballero @SenGonzalez33 @SenateHertzberg @SenBrianJones @SenJohnLaird I urge you to vote aye & stand with workers today.
We say #YESonSB467 to protect Black and brown communities from environmental racism and fossil fuel pollution. @Scott_Wiener and @MoniqueLimonCA thank you for protecting BIPOC communities and prioritizing their health over the interests of fossil fuel executives!!
I #StandWithKern and Delano City Councilman and Mayor @BryanOsorioT on opposing an ordinance that could greenlight 67,000+ oil and gas wells in @CountyofKern. Environmental justice means doing no harm. Frontline communities deserve better.

#OscarGrant 's family has been fighting courageously for him in the face of racism, violence and systemic injustice. We need to stand WITH THEM and DEMAND that @NancyOMalleyDA1 file charges against killer BART officer Anthony Pirone NOW.
These senseless killings must stop and we must hold murderous police officers accountable. I stand with @Blklivesmatter and we demand that @AlamedaCountyDA reopen the case against Officer Anthony Pirone for the murder of #OscarGrant

Scramble away Joe. Nichols does not have the record or the trust needed. An EPA director in 2021 needs a clear environmental justice record. What happened to all the campaign talk about climate being a racial justice issue?
President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team is scrambling to find a new candidate to lead the EPA after a group of more than 70 environmental justice groups accused Mary Nichols of having a “bleak track record in addressing environmental racism.” nyti.ms/3aaqISj
take 3 minutes out of your day to call @GavinNewsom's capitol office today! right now! #InactionIsInjustice
Big Oil is threatening the health of Californians. Yet, @CAGovernor @GavinNewsom continues to allow oil drilling near homes #InactionIsInjustice
Call Newsom at 855-572-9495 & urge him to:
🌇ROLL out a 2500ft buffer
❌STOP new fossil fuel permits
💧DROP existing oil production
1 yr after @GavinNewsom's empty promises, CA still allows Big Oil to drill near homes, schools primarily in Black & Latinx communities
@CAGovernor failed to take environmental justice seriously #InactionIsInjustice Protect ppl's health not fossilfuel wealth #SetbacksNow @VoicesCA
STAND WITH EJ COMMUNITIES AND CALL TODAY! let @CASenCaballero @SenBenHueso @SenateHertzberg know that what happened in Sen. Natural Resources on Wednesday is completely unacceptable. #YesonAB345
TODAY - Flood the lines and let Senators @SenBenHueso @SenateHertzberg @CASenCaballero know that we're not letting them off the hook. Next week they have the chance to vote #YesonAB345 - anything else fails frontline communities #NoDrillingWhereWereLiving
Three California Dems @SenateHertzberg @SenBenHueso and @CASenCaballero voted in line with Republicans and the fossil fuel industry on Wednesday. Senators, step up or step aside - if frontline communities can’t trust you to protect their families, who can they trust?
#YesonAB345

San Fernando Valley Senator @SenateHertzberg @hertzieLA needs to apologize to @katie4council and Black, Latinx, and Indigenous communities in CA on the frontlines of Environmental Justice and oil extraction. Racist bullying is not acceptable. #NoDrillingWhereWereLiving

Today state senators are making it clear which side they are on. @SenBenHueso @SenBrianJones @SenateHertzberg we see you.
Disgusted that #AB345 is even up for debate. I stand with all frontline communities including #Wilmington in my district- 3rd largest oil field & the highest rates of asthma and cancer in the country. If you don't stand for the health of people, you have no business legislating.
Leonela Leon retweeted
NO @SenateHertzberg, we refuse to let you demean us. The racist comments by @SenateHertzberg saying "we have not done our homework" & "we don't know what we're doing" enforce white supremacy by suggesting our lived experiences & our scientific research do not count. #ImwithKatie
absolutely disappointed and appalled by the statements made by @SenatorBorgeas @SenBenHueso @SenateHertzberg who all clearly do not understand the experiences of BIPOC frontline communities and the dangers of sheltering in place near oil & gas extraction sites #YesonAB345
HAPPENING NOW: Senate Natural Resources Committee is hearing #AB345 and will determine the fate of communities of color and their exposure to toxic oil and gas pollutants statewide: #YesonAB345 #NoDrillingWhereWereLiving
