[UC Merced Community and Labor Center @UCMercedCLC]

"As a country, we didn’t always deny undocumented workers access to unemployment benefits." Since 1976, CA's undocumented workers have had no economic safety net. Passage of #SB227 would change that. Read our center's op-ed. @MariaEDurazo @SafetyNet4All

Carbon dioxide removal is not a current climate solution — we need to change the narrative https://t.co/595TMadZ4b

[Leadership Counsel @LCJandA]

On the heels of a February visit with local residents, @BenAllenCA introduced #SB709 this week to stop #CA’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard from encouraging large industrial dairy operations to maintain and even increase herd sizes and methane production in pursuit of profits.

[CVAQ - Central Valley Air Quality Coalition @CenValAir]

"@ValleyAir has allowed industrial sources to increase pollution📈 by using nonexistent or invalid ❌emission reductions to claim compliance w/ the Clean Air Act." CVAQ & partners are now seeking reconciliation for this broken system.

[NRDC 🌎🏡 @NRDC]

Without strict policies, companies could take advantage of the Climate Law's tax credits for hydrogen production while using fossil fuels to make it. That would produce tons of greenhouse gasses instead of helping to drive the emissions reductions we need.

[UC Merced @ucmerced]

The @UCMercedCLC today released a major report that details the health & safety issues faced by CA farmworkers. More than 1,200 people were surveyed about working conditions, physical health, women's and reproductive health, COVID-19, insurance and access https://t.co/KvzL5Gc1UH

NEW: Statement from @CAgovernor after SB 1137 gets put on pause due to a referendum.

“It’s one thing for Big Oil to make record profits as they rip off Californians at the pump. It’s quite another to push to continue harmful drilling near daycares and schools and our homes.”

[Center on Race, Poverty, & the Environment @CRPE_EJ]

Environmental justice is the commitment to protecting the health of working class communities of color & above all, doing no environmental harm to residents. How did legislators rank in 2022? Read the card: https://t.co/Uqk5jzqYGy

“We’ll be watching the Newsom administration closely to see if they will make the appropriate changes to get CalGEM on the right track,” @94till_infinity with @CCEJN

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

It's time for @GavinNewsom & #CAleg to put people over Big Oil profits. Pass the price gouging penalty!
Big Oil keeps gas prices high to line their own pockets! It's time to hold fossil fuel companies accountable & protect CA families from greedy polluters
https://t.co/9elktn3JfU

[Center on Race, Poverty, & the Environment @CRPE_EJ]

.@SacBeeEditBoard: "CA oil refiners have been forcing us to pay a demonstrable surcharge on gas for years, and took us for even more when prices were at their most painful."

How to actually lower gas prices? Hold Big Oil accountable for price gouging. https://t.co/rd1Js07yCf

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

In a shock to LITERALLY NO ONE oil companies are lying to voters.

Claiming that oil drilling near schools and day care centers has no health impacts isn’t just a lie — it’s dangerous.

They will stop at nothing to line their pockets with cash. It’s sick.

As we reflect on everything that happened this year, we could not be more thankful for the communities we work with.

We'll see you all in the new year...ready for some more fights. 👀

Have a happy holiday! ❤️ Read the full letter here: https://t.co/puuxj565rD

[Center on Race, Poverty, & the Environment @CRPE_EJ]

BREAKING NEWS: The CA oil lobby announced they’ve gathered enough signatures to PAUSE protections against neighborhood drilling.

Big Oil funneled over $20 MILLION to put #SB1137's fate on the 2024 ballot.

The real fight starts now.

[Wendy Miranda Arevalo @wmiranda96]

The @LATimes editorial board is right.

If you’re asked to sign a petition about "lowering gas prices" or an “energy shutdown,” DON’T.

Oil drillers want to set up shop in CA neighborhoods. Reject this attack on our health and safety and decline to sign! https://t.co/BXtWBeNZPs
