The latest report by @ClimateCosts/@centerforclimateintegrity spells it out: The sooner we prepare and protect our communities from climate impacts, the more lives and money we save. But Big Oil has to pick up the tab, NOT taxpayers.

“My experience, like that of others who live in neighborhoods polluted by oil drilling, is a constant reminder that those in power do not value our health and well-being.” Nalleli Cobo

AB 3155 To Hold #BigOil Legally Liable Fails To Come Up For Vote
“It’s disappointing that Assembly members were not required to take a vote on this measure & go on the record about whether they stood w/ Chevron or communities impacted by their drilling”

Don’t forget to breathe…

Taking care of yourself is a form of resistance when you’re fighting to change and survive the systems that were designed to break you.

This is a BIG win for frontline communities who experience the harmful health impacts of living near drilling sites.

#AB3155 (Laura Friedman) will hold polluters accountable. Vote YES to #MakePollutersPay
