It's been around a month since @SierraClub said the union was spreading false information about potential layoffs - and, you guessed it, since then they have laid off and locked out dozens of our members (in direct violation of our contract) as well as unrepresented staff.

.@LACountyBOS just took a major step toward environmental justice for #Inglewood!
The Board of Supervisors took their first vote to phase out oil drilling in the largest urban oil field in the US.
One more vote to go - stay tuned.
Our 🚨new report🚨 shows that TWO THIRDS of idle wells are owned by @Chevron @AeraEnergyLLC & California Resources Corporation.
That means California communities are paying the price of idle wells, while corporations continue to profit... https://t.co/bAxe14Q0OR
Today, @SierraClub released a new report about the tens of thousands of oil wells in CA that lie idle, not producing anything but still often leaking methane and other toxins.

🎉 LA County Regional Planning Commission voted in support of phasing out oil drilling in the Inglewood Oil Field!
TODAY: LA County Regional Planning Commission will vote whether to end new & existing oil drilling in the Inglewood Oil Field. One of the largest urban oil fields in the US, it harms nearby Black & Latinx communities.
Urge the Commission not to leave these communities behind!
Part of Sunday's demonstration involved a mock oil spill, where street theater performers simulated marine animals getting caught in slick tar. https://t.co/CzmtUojx66
Referendums should be a way for Californians to feel like their voices are being heard. Unfortunately, corporations across sectors have abused this process to increase their bottom line, often at the expense of us.
There will be 30 speakers at our event on May 1 at the historic Biltmore Los Angeles, and we'll start off w/ an excellent lunch! Please join us to talk about the important things we've done together and the things that must still be done. Register here! https://t.co/70Su6aoEiH
Why is Long Beach trying to expand oil drilling over the next 5 years?
We are asking for the city to immediately ban new oil drilling within 3200 feet and create a plan to phase out oil drilling instead. @RexRichardson@LongBeachCity@LongBeachPost
As the rest of Los Angeles County moves toward phasing out oil drilling, Long Beach agencies voted unanimously on a drilling plan to expand production.

@pacenvironment Oil drilling harms low-income communities and communities of color. Today, we returned Long Beach's Program Plan to account for these disproportionate impacts and adequately assess risks of offshore oil operations. #PublicHealth#EnvironmentalJustice@CAStateLands
