@Planning4LA demanded that South LA children have smaller lungs and poorer health so an oil company could save money on electrifying its operations. The same protections have been in place in wealthier, whiter, West LA communities for 20-years. @STAND_LA

“These same city officials who once spoke of #EnvironmentalJustice for South LA have now turned their backs on us to curry favor with the insatiable oil industry.” @rdeanparks@Planning4LA@CityAttorneyLA you failed the communities you are supposed to represent
@Planning4LA & @CityAttorneyLA think South LA residents aren’t worthy of the same protections as LA’s wealthier, whiter communities. They may have ignored their truth when you rolled back health protections, but we won’t. #NoDrillingWhereWereLiving
@Planning4LA@CityAttorneyLA just rolled back health protections for the community near the Murphy Drill Site - ignoring the voices of frontline youth & residents urging them to protect their health. We won’t let their voices be ignored. Here is their truth 📢
Hey @Planning4LA & @CityAttorneyLA South LA youth demand and deserve better than broken promises. You may have ignored their truth when you rolled back health protections, but we won’t. #NoDrillingWhereWereLiving
BREAKING: @Planning4LA & @CityAttorneyLA gave oil company E&B Resources a blank check to buy tens-of-millions of cubic feet of methane to burn in generators at the Murphy Drill Site, near homes & schools. The promise for equal protection under the law were just empty words.
The same LA officials who once spoke of #EnvironmentalJustice for residents of South LA have now turned their backs on us to curry favor with the insatiable oil industry. @Planning4LA and @CityAttorneyLA – does this seem fair to you? @STAND_LA
South LA kids are breathing in toxic chemicals from the Murphy Drill Site, while @Planning4LA and @CityAttorneyLA won’t grant these communities basic health protections @STAND_LA
The Murphy Drill Site is currently harming hundreds of residents and students at three public schools within 1,000 feet. But @Planning4LA and @CityAttorneyLA don’t think South LA youth are worthy of the same protections as West LA. @STAND_LA
#EnvironmentalRacism = West LA drill sites that are enclosed to protect residents from toxic emissions while South LA residents are denied the very same protections @Planning4LA@CityAttorneyLA – why would you break your promise? @STAND_LA
