Finally! A labor leader willing to call out oil & gas industry myths! Workers will not prosper when communities are sacrifice zones & our planet is dead. Enacting public health setbacks & ending neighborhood drilling is a pro-worker strategy. Listen up @CALegislature#SetbacksNow
.@CalConservation frontline communities have waited almost 2 years for a rulemaking process for public health and safety protections near oil and gas extraction facilities to be completed.
The recall is over & we are still waiting. We look forward to seeing it soon.

The fact that this man literally ended a fracking ban moratorium at the height of the pandemic last year so they could approve HUNDREDS of fracking permits, most of them………IN KERN COUNTY, in communities that are 97% Latinx.
@GavinNewsom *you* are killing our communities.
⚠️It’s only June, and Californians are already getting an alarming preview of what many scientists are warning could be another devastating, record-breaking wildfire season. #CaliforniaWildfires 🧵 (1/7)

"As physicians, decision-makers, community members, it is time to treat the health of Black, Brown & low-income residents – not just w/ breathable air, water & setbacks that protect children from pollution – but with a plan.” - Dr. Saba Malik #YESonSB467 https://t.co/v9lWggl7iA
Good afternoon. It's been 479 days since @CAgovernor committed to adopting health and safety regulations to protect the nearly 5.5M Californians living within 1 mile of an oil and gas site. 79% of Californians support safety setbacks - @GavinNewsom, what are you waiting for?
When @GavinNewsom fails to take meaningful action to stop oil extraction in CA, it affects us all.
Methane emissions from CA cause climate change impacts in the Midwest because methane emissions see no borders. Climate change is a global fight. #BanFrackingEverywhere
“This decision in Kern County completely undermines our efforts....Producing this oil is detrimental to the fight against climate change.” - @CenterForBioDiv @hkretzmann

Thank you Speaker @Rendon63rd, @AsmPhilTing, Asm @laurafriedman43 and @AsmRichardBloom as partners in CA's much needed wildfire prevention efforts. Let's spend more time preventing & less time fighting #wildfires. It will save lives, prevent destruction & protect the environment.
“We should be prioritizing our region’s environment & community’s public health with a long-term focus on creating sustainable jobs. Sadly, with today’s vote, county leaders did not put @CountyofKern first. We look to our state legislators to vote #YesonSB467.” - @BryanOsorioT
