Happy Bike to Work Day! This morning I rode my bike to the Mission Trails Regional Task Force meeting. Thank goodness for the cool weather since I thought it would be a great idea to wear my suit.

@CMRaulCampillo @MayorToddGloria Thank you Councilmember @CMRaulCampillo for your advocacy to get unleaded fuel offered at Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport to Protect Our #Children from lead poisoning & thank you @MayorToddGloria for including funding for an unleaded fuel tank in your proposed FY23 City Budget

[Councilmember Raul Campillo @CMRaulCampillo]

It was great touring Montgomery Gibbs Exec Airport. Funding for an unleaded fuel tank, to ensure less air pollution for our residents, is important to me. Thanks, @MayorToddGloria included the funding in his proposed FY23 City Budget thanks to the urging of me & the community.

@CMRaulCampillo MGEC hopes all #SanDiego Councilmembers take to heart how important getting unleaded fuel offered at Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport is to protect the health of our children, as well as all San Diegans, from toxic lead air pollution caused by the exclusive sale of leaded avgas

[Councilmember Raul Campillo @CMRaulCampillo]

Budget hearings have begun & I want to ensure the residents of D7 know when & how to participate in the hearings so your voice is heard by all Councilmembers about spending priorities important to you.
You can participate in person or virtually. Zoom link https://t.co/TZZw0hO69n

[Councilmember Raul Campillo @CMRaulCampillo]

Budget season is here & I want to hear from YOU! Meetings are open to the public in City Council Chambers & the public can also submit public comment on the website or live on zoom.

The pleasure was all mine! Thank you for having me. I look forward to seeing what these amazing young people do in this world.

[Councilmember Raul Campillo @CMRaulCampillo]

I'm excited to see that the Mayor’s FY23 Proposed Budget includes key District 7 investments such as dredging of the Old Mission Dam in Mission Trails Regional Park & an unleaded fuel tank at the Montgomery Gibbs Executive Airport.

ICYMI: We joined @CenterForBioDiv to take legal action against EPA.

It is imperative that EPA uses new available research and findings to err on the side of protecting people’s #health, welfare and the #environment.

Thank You for taking action to Protect Our Children! Thanking the other 8 #SanDiego Councilmembers in advance for supporting the $200,000 Mayor Gloria has put in his budget for an #unleaded #fuel tank at Montgomery Gibbs Executive #Airport

. Thank you #SanDiego @MayorToddGloria & Thank you D7 Councilman @CMRaulCampillo for caring enough about our #children to champion offering unleaded #aviation #fuel at Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport #MYF

📣 We joined @CenterForBioDiv in filing a lawsuit to force EPA to update limits on harmful soot, sulfur and nitrogen #AirPollution.

EPA last put new standards in place for the three pollutants in 2012 & 2013. Updates were due in 2017 & 2018.

We partnered with @CleanProAct to develop a first-of-its-kind safety standard for disposable plates and bowls that do not contain toxic #PFAS!

Not sure who needs to hear this, but #PFAS are termed #ForeverChemicals because they DO NOT BREAK DOWN.

They're bad for our #health. They're bad for the #environment.

I was happy to work w/SD River Park Foundation & Mission Basilica San Diego de Alcala to clear trash & debris along SD River near Kaiser Pond. Volunteers from both orgs removed over 195 bags of trash. Finally, a special “thank you” to @RepublicService for donating the dumpster!

[Montgomery-Gibbs Environmental Coalition @GibbsCoalition]

@SeanEloRivera Wishing you a fast recovery!

Happy #WorldHealthDay! As we continue to battle COVID-19 and the climate crisis, it is important to emphasize that our individual health & the health of our planet are interconnected. I remain committed to helping our City reach its climate
action goals. #OurPlanetOurHealth 🌍❤️

[Montgomery-Gibbs Environmental Coalition @GibbsCoalition]

@marnivonwilpert #WorldHealthDay a reminder- #SanDiego public health is at risk because only leaded aviation fuel is offered at city airports. Councilmembers please vote yes on funding for an unleaded fuel tank. Protect Our #Children who are most vulnerable to lead poisoning from leaded avgas
