Congratulations, @ehcsandiego.bsky.social, on your successful advocacy to stop a biofuels project in National City! We love to see communities empowered to protect themselves. inewsource.org/2025/11/05/n... #California #biofuels #NationalCity

"The stakes are about to get even higher, so we must urge California to double down on equitable, community solar + storage resources." Read more on how the CPUC can take action in this Op-Ed by CEJA's Energy Justice Manager Feby Boediarto 👇🏽 capitolweekly.net/california-i...

"We’re reaching the end of the oil era. What Californians need now are steady, clear-eyed leaders willing to stand with workers, communities and families — not fossil fuel billionaires looking for one last payday." - Faraz Rizvi, @apen4ej.bsky.social

Phillips 66 is leaving a toxic legacy behind in these SoCal neighborhoods, contaminating groundwater with lead and PFAs - none that are biodegradable. Californians have paid the price of oil in CA for decades, its time refineries clean up after themselves on their way out. #StopTheShakedown

📢 NEW: CCEJN reports — 31% of oil & gas sites near Kern County homes, schools & parks are leaking 37% of leaks are allowed by regulatory loopholes The “heavy oil” exemption shields 68% of CA’s oil & gas sites from leak monitoring & repair rules #ClimateJustice 👉🏽 ccejn.org/2025/08/12/p...

“It’s absurd for our climate policy to include billions in giveaways for Big Oil so it can claim to reduce climate-altering emissions on paper instead of having to do it in real life.” - Asha Sharma, @leadershipcounsel.bsky.social State Policy Manager

Cap-and-Trade is the largest source of funding to build a more affordable & equitable climate future. It can’t be compromised with handouts to #BigOil polluters when there’s so much at stake for the rest of us, like access to healthy & affordable food.

200+ community leaders are about to join us in Sacramento for our 2025 #CEJACongreso. Our coalition represents over a dozen EJ communities across the state who are often deliberately shut out of conversations about environmental policy. Help us elevate grassroots voices by making a gift today 💜

We’re one month away from our annual Congreso, a two-day gathering in Sacramento where hundreds of frontline organizers from across CA converge to build power, learn about key environmental bills, and share their knowledge of #EJ. To support our grassroots movement for a just future, please donate!

On its 13th anniversary, we remember the #Chevron #Richmond Refinery Fire and the 15,000+ people it sent to doctors and hospitals. A settlement of $5 million for this fire, followed by another for broader harms at $550 million, is just the start of the accountability for #BigOil that we deserve.

Tomorrow! Community call to reclaim #SouthLA ✊🏽👇🏽

Insightful read by @lorenagonzalez.bsky.social on "The Abundance Agenda" and why labor and environmental justice movts are aligned in advocating for worker/community protections instead of fast-tracking development 👇🏽

Everyone check out this thread by @apen4ej.bsky.social breaking down what's really happening with oil refinery closures and CA's energy transition. #BigOil hopes to once again rake in profits at our [health and taxpayer $] expense, and spreading confusion to divide progressives clears their path.

Orgs say: "This bill is the worst anti-environmental bill in CA in recent memory. It represents an unprecedented rollback to California’s fundamental environmental + community protections at a time in which the people of CA grapple with unprecedented federal attacks to their lives and livelihoods."

The attacks against some of our most vulnerable members of our community come from the same system that is deregulating environmental protections, defunding public health, increasing nuclear weapons spending, targeting organizers, and criminalizing protest. www.psr-la.org/stay-informe...

They call it “Thermal Ranch” — a luxury horse resort with million-dollar homes, private events, and a 5 million gallon reservoir all for the wealthy.

Cap-and-Trade needs to be reformed so that it does what it was meant to do, instead of providing a path for polluters to worsen our air quality. Grateful to stand alongside @leadershipcounsel.bsky.social yesterday ✊🏽 #StopGaslightingCA #CapandTrade

Happy #Juneteenth! We're celebrating but we all still know racial injustice is far from over. Racist land use policies and white supremacy brought us to a world where Black and brown neighborhoods across the US are disproportionately enduring the health impacts of pollution and the fight continues!

Last year alone, Valero paid out $4.3bil to its investors. For years #BigOil has raked in record profits and instead of fixing their aging refineries they gouge Californians. #StopTheShakedown 35+ organizations just said NO to bailouts for Big Oil! ✍️Read the full letter here: apen.us/SHAKEDOWN

🚨 California’s updated budget is out and it’s a mixed bag for environmental justice. Read our breakdown of what changed (and what didn’t) since the May Revise: ceja.org/2025/06/ca-budget-ej-impacts/

Thank you @leadershipcounsel.bsky.social for laying this out! The proposed cap-and-trade plan is Trump's vision for the US, NOT who we are as Californians. We need to reform #CapAndTrade so that it stops giving pollution freebies to #BigOil and cutting funds to communities who need it most.

CEJA stands with our immigrant communities and for human rights: the right to live, to breathe, to dignity, and to self-determination. Our people are being poisoned – by pollution, and now by the U.S. government itself. #StandWithCHIRLA #WeAreCalifornia #StopTrumpsInvasion Full statement 👇🏽

@governor.ca.gov's cap-and-trade plan maintains billions in handouts to #BigOil while abandoning CA's most vulnerable to the climate crisis - who need help accessing clean water, refuge from extreme heat, and wildfire risk prevention. 1️⃣ #RejectandReform this plan 2️⃣ Prioritize equity + affordability

There are multiple events in the next few days being organized by organizations in our network to show our solidarity with Los Angeles and all our communities who are under attack from the MAGA regime. Stand up and speak out NOW. Join us! www.instagram.com/p/DKqxqLlOrY...

DAVID IS RELEASED and with his family! He still faces an unjust felony charge. While we’re relieved that David is out after three nights in detention, we demand the Trump regime drop the unjust charge against him & end the raids! seiu.co/endraids #FreeDavidEndRaids

Reminder: We keep us safe! 🛑 If you see ICE in LA, don’t stay silent. Report it to the LA Rapid Response Network. 📲 #ImmigrantsBelong #NoDeportations #SomosCHIRLA

🌟COMMUNITY WIN 🌟 At the last Community Council meeting, we secured a dedicated meeting to address the Thermal Ranch proposal — which was a major step forward! The vote has been delayed, giving folks more time to organize, speak out, and say NO to another luxury development.

Spread the word, #WereHiring! CEJA is looking for a collaborative and passionate Energy Justice Director to help us phase out fossil fuels and replace them with community-led infrastructure that will make ALL Californians safe. ✨4-day work week 💸$105-115k 📍Remote, CA caleja.bamboohr.com/careers/31

Today is #WorldAsthmaDay, an annual event to improve asthma awareness and care around the world. 🌍☁️ Asthma is linked to poor air quality and disproportionately impacts low-income and minority communities. Here are a couple facts about asthma & air quality:

The last few years we've noticed a big narrative shift towards bashing CEQA, even though it's critical for public health and community oversight. It's refreshing to see that we still have representatives speaking truth to power on what matters most.

Today is the last day of our Earth Month fundraiser! To support CEJA's mission of empowering communities across California to advocate for policies that will alleviate poverty and pollution, click the link below and make a donation!

We gathered in Sacramento because WE’VE 👏 PAID 👏 ENOUGH 👏! Our communities have been impacted by climate destruction for far too long. The #PollutersPay Climate Superfund Act is our chance to force the biggest polluters to pay their fair share of the damage they’ve caused.

Community power staying strong. On 4/8, 30+ of us turned up to the LADWP Board meeting to say NO to the Scattergood Power Plant Modernization Project, which would retrofit the gas plant to burn up to 30% hydrogen and 70% methane by 2029 😷💨 🤜🏽🤛🏾 @sierraclubca.bsky.social @psr-la.bsky.social @nrdc.org

Trump is trying to censor #EnvironmentalJustice – but climate groups are punching back. On #EarthDay, a reminder that everyone, no matter their race, class, zip-code or homeland, should be able to breathe clean air and drink clean water.
