Protecting our public health, communities, and economies

Already, more than 115 local governments in California have passed more than 225 local policies to protect their communities from fossil fuels, including phase-out plans or setbacks on oil and gas drilling, climate lawsuits or divestment from fossil fuel companies, or opposing expansion of fossil fuel production or infrastructure. 

Join us in calling on Governor Newsom to protect all Californians by creating a statewide climate emergency plan to phase out fossil fuel production.
