Here, we model the contribution of major lifecycle ...

NEW STUDY ALERT: Air pollution from fossil fuels causes an estimated 91,000 premature deaths per year in the U.S. The study confirms that the greatest burden falls on Black and brown community health. Join us in demanding environmental justice: #StandForJustice

“The truth is, California oil production is in its final chapter, and the fossil fuel industry is leaving a legacy of destruction in its wake."

Months after the devastating LA fires, frontline communities are still experiencing toxic health impacts.

LA repeals oil phaseout law as residents near wells seek health protections Communities living near oil drilling want the city to move quickly to reinstate its oil phaseout rule, as well as curtail practices like acid maintenance.

@laist.com reporter Erin Stone focuses on advocates' urgent efforts to protect communities from oil sites' toxic health impacts even as they work with city leaders to end neighborhood oil drilling. @redeemercp.bsky.social @standla.bsky.social laist.com/news/climate...

Commentary: Climate change is cooking Los Angeles. Does Karen Bass care? The L.A. mayor wants to eliminate a city office that protects people from deadly extreme heat.

Eliminating Los Angeles' climate emergency office is "just a huge red flag for [environmental justice] communities who are constantly being told that they’re not a priority," - Agustin Cabrera, policy director, @scope-la.bsky.social

Why Trump's executive order targeting state climate laws is probably illegal President Donald Trump continues dismantling climate policy with a move of questionable legality that benefits fossil fuels. States are sure to sue.

Every LA community has a stake in this fight. But it's frontline communities who have been ringing the alarm bells for over a decade about the dangers of oil and gas drilling. Hear it from Ashley of Communities for a Better Environment.

When you're trapped in a hole, stop digging.

LA has already seen enough air pollution, wildfire smoke, and homes destroyed. We're DONE with fossil fuels.

Maya Golden-Krasner with @centerforbiodiv explains that recovering from wildfires requires moving forward without oil drilling.

Monitoring methane: DIY effort hunts pollution at oil wells in L.A. neighborhoods In the absence of consistent monitoring by regulators, a group of public health advocates is working to document methane leaks from oil drilling sites in L.A.

📢🌎CCEJN, a member of VISIÓN, is tracking toxins leaking from LA’s neighborhood oil wells. These efforts reaffirm what frontline communities have long known: oil drilling harms our health and safety.
