Super exciting that the natural carbon sequestration bill we and our partners worked on is signed into law.
Thanks to everyone who made this happen!

[The Climate Center @climatecampaign]

Moments ago, @GavinNewsom signed #AB1757 and several other key climate bills into law!

This historic day would not be possible without all of YOU who worked tirelessly to turn ideas into climate action. Thank you!

☀️🌈🌳 Natural carbon removal methods like urban tree planting not only draw down past emissions, but also cool cities and reduce flooding risk.

The #CALeg must prioritize climate solutions that address multiple issues at once. #GoBigonClimate @InstCycle

💰☠️🏭😱California-based @Chevron, which earned almost $95 billion in 2021, is the largest investor-owned polluter on the planet.

🌎🔥⏳It’s time for California lawmakers to usher in a #FossilFreeFuture.

Victory! For more than a decade, frontline communities w/ @STAND_LA have been saying #NoDrillingWhereWereLiving. Today’s city council’s unanimous vote to phase out oil drilling in LA is historic & testament to the persistence of communities who refused to be silent or ignored.

@lauracdeehan @Schwarzenegger @californiapuc @GavinNewsom @EnvCalifornia @nytopinion Excellent op-ed: “Mr. Newsom recently acknowledged that “we still have some work to do” on the plan. He and his commission must stand up to the monopolistic utilities and protect California’s solar power programs, for the state’s future & the planet’s.” #savesolar #climatecrisis

[The Climate Center @climatecampaign]

🔥NEW🔥

@CAgovernor @GavinNewsom just unveiled the #CaliforniaBlueprint, which includes $22.5 billion for climate programs.
