About us
Elected Officials to Protect America (E.O.P.A.) California is a statewide, non-partisan network of current and former elected officials who are committed to protecting public health, and the environment with energy security solutions.
According to the U.N., the science is clear: to avert the worst-case scenarios for our health and our planet, we must phase out fossil fuels.
With offshore wind, and other renewable electricity sources, California can move to a safer, healthier, and prosperous future for everyone.
We strongly urge Governor Newsom to stop issuing any more oil and gas permits, and accelerate the state’s transition to a 100% clean energy economy.
