Yesterday @GreenpeaceUSA, @CEJAAction, and @VoicesCA were at the CA capitol building delivering an important message to CA lawmakers: 79% of Californians agree - NO to sacrifice zones, #YesonAB345

Neighborhood drilling is rooted in environmental racism. Of the 1.8 million Californians living near drilling in heavily polluted areas, 92 percent are communities of color. https://www.nrdc.org/sites/default/files/california-fracking-risks-report.pdf

Air pollution linked to asthma and other respiratory diseases, preterm births and high-risk pregnancies, & cancer impacts BIPOC communities & today, they face a greater risk of dying from COVID-19. https://www.stand.la/uploads/5/3/9/0/53904099/2500_literature_review_report-v2-share.pdf

79% of Californians support a 2,500ft public health buffer btwn extraction sites & the communities living, working, & playing near them. Yet California is currently one of the few oil-producing states w/ no required distance btwn drilling & communities. http://bit.ly/3grhcdM 

Today, members of the Senate Natural Resources and Water Committee will meet to discuss AB 345 & decide whether or not to move it forward. W/ industry groups breathing down the necks of some key senators, this is a crucial moment to demonstrate that Californians want AB345

Call your state senator and tell them to say NO to sacrificing frontline communities and vote #YESonAB 345.
