Though we’re disappointed to not see urgently needed cleanup this year, we’re grateful to the leaders who fought to #FixSB131 at the end of this legislative session. You are true champions for environmental justice. Let's get this across the finish line in 2026.

🚨 Newsom just signed a bill that will EXPAND oil drilling in California 🚨 This signals “what could become a dangerous new pattern: allowing Big Oil to hold California hostage every time a refinery announces a potential closure.” Read more: www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

The California Department of Housing and Community Development is considering whether to designate the City of Fresno as a Pro-housing City. A “Prohousing City” reduces barriers to housing, and can earn the designation plus receive priority access to grants for affordable housing.

Join us for our Citywide Conversation on Housing in Fresno! We’ll be going over the City’s Prohousing Designation to Mobile Home Park Programs to the Fresno City’s budget, and so much more!

Well, that was certainly ... something. The 2025 CA Legislative Session has wrapped up, and we have shared our thoughts on several bills related to environmental justice. ceja-action.org/2025/09/13/t... #California #EnvironmentalJustice #Legislation #CEQA

We need to improve AB 617 to directly reduce pollution in and near frontline communities. No accountability = no results. Local land use & CARB enforcement must align with community-approved priorities. #ClimateJustice #Environmentaljustice #CleanAir

Less than 24 hours to #FixSB131 Call or email Senate pro Tem McGuire + Speaker Rivas directly: Speaker Robert Rivas: (916) 319-2029 Senate President Mike McGuire: (916) 651-4002

Thank you @asmirwin.bsky.social for meeting directly with environmental justice organizers from Oxnard! We talked about ways to vote to protect frontline communities before the legislative session ends. These meetings help us get closer to the future we all deserve 💜

Thanks @asmtasha.bsky.social for meeting with us! We hope you’ll stand with environmental justice and help make healthy, safe communities a reality in California 💜 #CEJACongreso

Happening now: hundreds of environmental justice leaders are in Sac prepping to lobby for community health and safety. Have no doubt we're making our voices heard! #CEJACongreso @apen4ej.bsky.social @scope-la.bsky.social @leadershipcounsel.bsky.social @ccaej.bsky.social @psr-la.bsky.social

Toxic industries shouldn’t get a free pass. SB 131’s exemption for “advanced manufacturing” threatens groundwater & public health, especially in communities already burdened by pollution. Lawmakers must fix this. Read more from Deja McCauley via Maven’s Notebook. #fixsb131 👉🏽 bit.ly/MavensNotebo...

SB 131 puts communities and wildlife at risk.. Lawmakers said they would fix it. NOW is the time to act before session ends ‼️ 📞 Rivas (916) 319 2029 📞 McGuire (916) 651 4002 🔗 findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov #StopSB131 #CEQAWORKS #EnvironmentalJustice #ProtectCalifornia

“I don’t believe anyone here thinks that we use CEQA in any way other than to protect ourselves. The toxins… can leach into neighborhoods and devastate full communities.” - Raquel Mason, CEJA Senior Legislative Manager calmatters.org/environment/...

Thank you to the legislators who fought alongside #environmentaljustice communities to push back on #SB131, a bill that strips away vital protections from frontline communities and allows unchecked industrial development. We see your leadership and we hope to work with you on meaningful changes!

Proud to be among the orgs urging #CALeg to say NO to bailouts for Big Oil! For years #BigOil has been raking in profits while leaving Californians to clean up their mess. Now they want bailouts as they try to keep CA from making climate progress. ✍️Read the full letter here: apen.us/SHAKEDOWN

North and South Merced are like two different worlds, and the health impacts on our bodies tells the story of this inequity. Join @leadershipcounsel.bsky.social this evening to weigh in!

Join us in in writing a letter to @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social and your elected officials: 🗣️No Bailouts for Big Oil 💵Stabilize Supply and Smooth Price Spikes 💫Safeguard CA’s Health + Climate Progress 👥Ensure Accountability for Closure Costs and a Just Transition actionnetwork.org/letters/take... 👇🏽

CHIRLA carries the legacy of leaders who’ve led the immigrant justice movement for nearly 40 years. 🦋 As they try to silence us, our voices will rise louder than ever, echoing with love, resilience, and power. An attack on one is an attack on all! 🫂🧡 #WeBelongHere #SomosCHIRLA

To the immigrants in our community, we stand with you. You are loved, you belong here, and your life has value. No law, no wall, and no act of cruelty can take away your dignity. May we all raise our voices together to protect it. Full statement: buff.ly/styjwSa

Time is running out to prevent the most dangerous impacts of climate change. We're urging our reps to REJECT @gavinnewsom.bsky.social's cap-and-trade proposal which helps pad Big Oil's pockets while leaving communities strapped for resources. Read our letter 👉🏽 bit.ly/4kALFa9

🚨SB 607 was amended today, thank you PT McGuire and Chair Caballero, we look forward to continuing the discussion and fighting to protect frontline communities, full statement below⬇️

ICYMI: A new port terminal near San Pedro homes meant more diesel pollution and truck traffic. Thanks to CEQA, a lawsuit resulted in cleaner air, better equipment, and a new public park. CEQA gives communities the tools to fight back ✊🏾 #ProtectCEQA

Low-income communities of color, facing the impacts of both the housing crisis and environmental racism, need healthy and affordable housing. CEQA is an environmental and public health bill of rights for every Californian, and SB 607 takes a sledgehammer to it. We can't afford that. #ProtectCEQA

This is so important! A few years ago this bill would have been dead in the water, but now it's getting swept up in the massive deregulation push - and we all know which communities will be harmed if that happens. Join us in letting your reps know that we see them and will not be sacrificed.

The May budget revise that was announced today includes deep disappointments for environmental justice communities. Read more in our press release, where we urge lawmakers to defend public health and #MakePollutersPay 👉🏽 ceja-action.org/2025/05/14/e...

‼️SB 607 is a sweeping rollback of California's strongest environmental law that makes it harder for Californians to challenge polluting projects in their communities. It limits environmental review and silences public input. That’s not democracy. www.citywatchla.com/los-angeles/...

“We’re urging lawmakers to listen to the people—not polluters—and make those most responsible for the climate crisis pay for the harm they’ve caused.” #MakePollutersPay - Mabel Tsang, CEJA Action's Political Director

Thank you @dawnaddis.bsky.social for taking the time to meet with environmental justice communities! We’re urging lawmakers to protect the frontlines and oppose harmful rollbacks to CEQA like SB 607, and hope you'll stand with us 🙏🏽 #NoOnSB607 #CEJASpringLobbyDay

Thank you @asmlashae.bsky.social for meeting with us during #CEJASpringLobbyDay! We shared our priorities for cap-and-trade reform — centered on equity, accountability, and investments in frontline communities. #EnvironmentalJustice

Thank you to the office of @asmtasha.bsky.social for meeting with us and @cavsbigoil.bsky.social during #CEJASpringLobbyDay and standing with frontline communities! We hope you’ll support #SB684 & #AB1243 and show the climate leadership CA needs. Let’s #MakePollutersPay and protect our future 💚

People shouldn’t be paying for polluters to poison our neighborhoods. We’re all at the Capitol today to insist that CA #MakePollutersPay by lobbying for environmental justice! #CEJASpringLobbyDay #AB1243 #SB684 #NoOnSB607 @cavsbigoil.bsky.social 💪🏽

Our safety nets are being taken away en masse. When a dangerous project is proposed in your neighborhood, CEQA is often the ONLY avenue that you have to advocate for yourself. Thank you Senator Maria Elena Durazo for standing up for the EJ community’s right to #CEQA! #environmentaljustice

IT HAPPENED: The Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act (#AB1243) passed the Assembly Natural Resources Committee! Thank you to our legislators who stood by Californians in the fight against major polluters! Onwards! Read more + sign the #MakePollutersPay petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/ca...

This Earth Day—and every day—we honor the fierce and fearless leaders who protect our air, water, and land. 🌍✊🏽💧🌱 Together, we keep building toward a future where everyone can live in dignity. #EnvironmetalJustice #CleanAirForAll #WaterIsLife

Action alert: urge your Senators to VOTE NO ON #SB607, which would help developers fast-track projects without community oversight or common-sense safety checks like EIRs. Our communities aren’t toxic dumping grounds. And CA has an actual housing crisis that needs REAL solutions. Call script 👇🏽

For Asian immigrant and refugee communities like ours, the kidnapping of Mahmoud Khalil is painfully familiar. Many of our families come from homelands where people who stand up for environmental and social justice are routinely jailed, “disappeared”, or worse simply for speaking out.

@GavinNewsom, @CASenDems, @CAAssemblyDems – #Californians need action! 🔥Wildfires and high electricity bills are devastating families. 🔌Utilities are raking in profits at our expense. 💰We need real reform to lower bills and protect our communities. See our SacBee ad today:

Last week, we co-hosted a legislative reception with CalNonprofits to help connect legislators with California's nonprofit sector. At this point we all know that state-level connection points are where we can make positive change happen in CA. Thank you to all the legislators who joined us!
