As the federal government rolls back environmental protections, California must hold the line. #EnvironmentalJustice #FixSB131 #CEQA

Now California’s most vulnerable communities—and our climate—are paying the price.

*** Take action*** Contact your State Senator and Assemblymember TODAY as well as Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas and Senate Pro Tem Monique Limón. Tell them to insist on the promised fixes to SB 131.

Condor Call to Action for Monday, Jan. 12! Environmental review is one of the few tools communities have to protect themselves from pollution and harmful land use decisions. SB 131 weakened those protections for the benefit of polluting industries.

SB 131 was a giveaway to corporate polluters! Let's clean it up!

Contact your State Senator and Assemblymember today and tell them to urge Speaker Robert Rivas and Senate Pro Tem Monique Limón to introduce a new bill to fix SB 131 immediately. California’s communities deserve better. findyourrep.legislat...
