Live From The Frontlines

A documentary film & multimedia project created to lift up the voices of frontline communities being impacted by #neighborhooddrilling & fossil fuel production.

[Sunrise Movement 🌅 @sunrisemvmt]

When your entire family has asthma - you, your brother, your father - when you find out this isn't due to the DNA of your blood, but a purposeful connection between where you live and where fossil fuel industries decide to do business, what do you do?

This is Josiah's story.

[VISION CA 3,200ft Setbacks Now @VoicesCA]

"Kids in LA and Kern County continue to get sick and breathe toxic air. We're the ones who have asthma, nosebleeds, headaches, cancer..."

@GavinNewsom listen to Lizbeth & take action. We demand 2,500 health and safety setbacks NOW #InactionIsInjustice #NoDrillingWhereWereLiving

[Leonela Leon @leonelaxleon]

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

I grew up sickened next to an oil well in Los Angeles. Now California is burning and my future is threatened by the #ClimateEmergency.

@CAgovernor @GavinNewsom, the world is watching: Stop #FuelingTheFlames. Phase out fossil fuels. https://t.co/6SQ8aXIHPH

A victory for environmental justice over 6 years in the making. We're relieved that the community surrounding AllenCo will no longer breathe in the fumes and the chemicals from these toxic oil wells. Our deepest congratulations to @EsperanzaCHC and residents who fought for this.

Nalleli, 19, has been fighting against oil drilling in South LA since the age of nine. She is now battling for her life, after being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. @NalleliCobo, we're sending our sincere love & support. Please share and contribute to her medical fund.

Oil drilling is simply incompatible with healthy neighborhoods and a sustainable future for Los Angeles. Our communities need a 2,500-ft buffer and #JustTransition plan.

[STAND-LA @STAND_LA]

Yesterday, @LACityCouncil unanimously voted to direct @CityAttorneyLA to conduct a legal analysis on the feasibility of necessary health & safety setbacks to protect Angelenos from the toxic impacts of urban oil drilling.

[STAND-LA @STAND_LA]

Urban oil drilling in LA is threatening the health & safety of families. From South LA to Wilmington, our communities are taking a stand against toxic oil drilling near our homes, schools, and parks.

Will you STAND with us?

Today, Newsom announced "plans to study the possible adoption of buffer zones around oil wells near residential neighborhoods, schools, hospitals & other facilities." We look forward to working w/ @CAgovernor to address the fossil-fueled health crisis facing our communities.

After almost 9 hours of blockading the #AlisoCanyon entrance, we have departed the facility due to a nearby wildfire causing ash to fall from the sky and the air to become toxic. But spirits are still high, and we’re not done yet - stay tuned!
