What does it mean to invest in communities that produce your food and shoulder the burdens of living in extractive economies? #Thread #GiveBigKern

The CA Senate unanimously agreed that emergency preparedness must include meaningfully engaging frontline communities. The health & safety of all Californians must be safeguarded from climate change disasters. #SB160 #getready #stayready

TODAY in Sacramento: oral argument by Center on Race, Poverty, & the Environment Attorney Paulina Torres on the Romo case that challenges state regulations on the grounds they illegally allow #fracking wells to be located close to schools with large percentages of Latino students.

Center on Race, Poverty, & the Environment and Kern residents going half a decade strong, fighting for #Latinx school children. In the Romo v. Newsom case, there are 45 #Fracking wells within a half mile of his daughter’s junior high school. Here’s our team asking the courts to stand up for children’s rights!

The fossil fuel industry has relied on structural racism since the beginning to tell people that their lives don’t matter. It’s time that @SenateHertzberg Senate President pro Tempore Emeritus Toni Atkins VOTE #YESonAB345 to protect Black and brown communities from environmental racism and fossil fuel pollution.

AB345 calls for the creation of health and safety setbacks protecting Black communities and POC in California from the harmful health impacts of oil and gas drilling in their neighborhoods. This is anti-racism in action. Senate President pro Tempore Emeritus Toni Atkins Senator Ben Hueso @SenateHertzberg #YesOnAB345
