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
Thank you Archive - Attorney General Becerra for supporting Center on Race, Poverty, & the Environment & Earthjustice lawsuit against Valley Air District. It’s time for Valley Air to protect our communities and finally hold petroleum refineries accountable for their dangerous emissions. #RefineryDangers #StepUpValleyAir #WhatsInOurAir
Our communities are encouraged by Archive - Attorney General Becerra supporting our fight for transparency of the hazardous emissions from refineries so close to our homes and schools.
