Today, we have a: ✅fracking ban for 2024 ✅an official end date for oil extraction in CA ✅a draft public health & safety setback rule of 3200 ft. A year ago, we had none of this. We must now strengthen and expand the rule, but taking a moment to appreciate how far we've come.
Over 2 million Californians live within ½ a mile of oil drilling sites, leading to birth defects, asthma, health risks for kids and more. By moving to keep new oil wells away from communities, CA is prioritizing the health and safety of Californians.

#EV adoption is at a critical point. But strong targets are needed to speed up the transition to 100% pollution-free vehicles. @GavinNewsom, @AirResources, what will you say at #COP26 when we are being outdone across the globe? We've got to move faster. wri.org/insights/what-projec…

Tax credits, consumer rebates, and strong labor standards will ensure the transition to clean vehicles is a win for both workers AND our climate. @amprog founder @johnpodesta & @UAW president Ray Curry explain: #BuildBackBetter newsweek.com/green-cars-futu…

The strongest possible #cleanercars standards approved by @NHTSAgov would spur more innovation in American manufacturing, creating good, well-paying union jobs making auto parts and equipment for cars and trucks throughout the Midwest and South.

We love to see the first day of the #CleanerCars @EPA hearing winding down with @ShannonBB_8 of @GreenForAll talking about protecting our most vulnerable communities 💯 "Every fraction of a degree matters." #ActOnClimate

“The rich aren’t concerned about clean air. They’ll be able to purchase it while the rest of us are left gasping.” The words of a testifier urging @epa to strengthen #CleanerCars standards. Oof. Yeah.

Vehicle pollution disproportionately impacts low-wealth and BIPOC communities, leading to higher rates of asthma & other respiratory challenges. We need the strongest possible #CleanerCars standards from @EPA NOW, b/c #CleanerCars = Environmental Justice

Since @EPA is hearing from CEI representatives right now, a reminder to the general public that @ceidotorg is a climate denial group largely funded by ExxonMobil. Perhaps they aren't the best experts on regulating pollution? #CleanerCars 🤷🏻‍♀️👇🏼 desmog.com/competitive-enter…

Electrifying CA’s trucks will eliminate the toxic pollution from dirty diesel trucks. Tell @AirResources we need to do more to ensure every Californian has clean air to breathe. #ElectricTrucksNow act.sierraclub.org/actions/C…
