ICYMI: Last week, frontline residents and STAND took to City Hall to make our voices heard! Even after they voted to phase out oil drilling in City of LA, we can't let @lacitycouncil go to sleep on this issue of environmental injustice.

It's really quite simple. "The more fossil fuels people burn, the more likely it is that L.A. will keep suffering catastrophic fires."
Why are Karen Bass & Gavin Newsom rushing to rethink clean energy rules in the wake of the L.A. fires? Rebuilding homes with gas furnaces won't be any cheaper or faster. If anything, all-electric homes are the best thing for everyone. My @latimes column: latimes.com/environment/news…

The #LAfires are an environmental justice crisis fueled by #BigOil. But, we have an opportunity to change course. Where Big Oil’s pollution is the cause, community is the antidote to the climate crisis. instagram.com/p/DFGpf_eOL0c/…

Los Angeles is burning. Fossil fuel companies laid the kindling. Soon the world will stop caring. If we don't demand better from the rich & powerful who can do more than anyone to slow the climate crisis, the fires will change nothing. My @latimes column: latimes.com/environment/news…

California Resources Corporation is responsible for more than 11,000 idle wells in California, which would cost more than $1 billion to clean up. Residents shouldn’t have to foot the bill to clean up the oil industry’s mess. insideclimatenews.org/news/1…

Yesterday was a big day for climate justice in LA!☀️   We want to thank Councilmember @cd1losangeles for introducing a package of legislation to protect our communities from the dangers of living near orphaned oil wells and unregulated development on brownfield sites.

Chevron, Valero, Marathon Petroleum, and Big Oil trade groups have poured millions into campaign cash and lobbying this year, all to keep profiting at the expense of our planet.

“Justice has prevailed.” Last week, California Gov. Newsom signed new laws to hold oil companies accountable and protect neighborhoods from oil development, protections community groups fought more than a decade to win. insideclimatenews.org/news/2…
