Trump's BLM is threatening to open over 1 million acres of public lands across CA to oil & gas extraction -- but we are fighting back. On 2/3, BLM held a public hearing & VC showed up strong. Read the article here: www.sanluisobispo.com/news/local/e...

If there’s one thing we learned during the #MakePollutersPay Week of Action, it’s that when we show up together, we are unstoppable. Across the state, we saw neighbors, students, and state legislators taking a stand. We aren’t just fighting against Big Oil… We are fighting for each other.

Offshore drilling means more spills, toxic air, contaminated water, astronomical cleanup costs, and climate disasters hitting families already on the frontlines. We deserve safe coasts and healthy communities and we CANNOT afford more fossil fuel risk.

California coastal communities threatened by federal calls to drill | Opinion β€œWhile our communities suffer from ongoing spills that threaten our public health, Trump is making federal calls to increase drilling.”

All communities -- from the Central Coast to around the world -- must be protected from the existential threat of expanded oil and gas drilling.

OPINION | We have the power to move the needle: phase out oil and gas Recent oil spills in our area should be ringing alarm bells for every local resident and at every level of government. Effects of oil spills and pipeline leaks go far

We need Ventura County leaders to follow the brave leadership of elected in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles County to move forward with a phase out of toxic oil and gas drilling in our communities.

Last week, EPA Adm. Zeldin illegally rushed through a rule that gives a free pass to the oil and gas industry to pollute our air and harm our health.

California leaders and agencies must fill the gap left by this delay rule by implementing strong state public health and climate regulations now!
