"Ensuring oil and gas companies clean up their non-producing wells promotes public health and safety, combats climate change, all while creating family-sustaining jobs for oil workers." -- Monica Embrey @SierraClubLA_OC @LAOC_BTrades @USW675 #ClimateChange https://t.co/LIsVdNkqX9

Demand @LACDRP protect people, not polluters, by enacting a 2500-ft setback in their Oil Well Ordinance. Their current proposal of 500-ft is nowhere near enough!

Living within a half mile of oil and gas drilling leads to preterm birth and lifelong respiratory health impacts. We urge @CA Senators to vote #YesOnAB345 to protect mothers, babies, and their families in CA #NoDrillingWhereWereLiving https://t.co/Rc64Ytw4KG

[Monica Mariko Embrey @monicaembrey]

Toxic fossil fuel operations disproportionately impact working-class communities of color in LA— increasing rates of asthma and other factors that make Black and Brown communities vulnerable to #COVID19. End environmental injustice! #NoDrillingWhereWereLiving

[Monica Mariko Embrey @monicaembrey]

#AB345 is a critical step toward protecting the health & safety of sensitive sites like homes, schools, and hospitals by preventing an oil or gas well within 2500 feet. We URGE @SenateHertzberg @SenToniAtkins to VOTE #YESonAB345 #NoDrillingWhereWereLiving
