We just rolled out the latest version of the Industrial Equity Mapper. I must say I think it's pretty good. industriouslabs.org/issues/indus...

Listen to @candiceyoungblood.bsky.social talk about why we need @metrolosangeles.bsky.social to move faster on its bus electrification goals #ElectrifyLA28 www.kcrw.com/shows/kcrw-r...

Rise and shine with a cleaner cup of coffee. Bellwether Coffee is grinding out an electric alternative to typical fossil fuel-powered bean roasters — an appliance that could let every coffee shop save money and become a roaster.

In case you missed the good news: @governor.ca.gov vetoed #SB34, a dangerous bill that would have made it more difficult to clean the air in the nation’s smog capital earthjustice.org/press/2025/i...

Thank you, @governor.ca.gov, for standing strong for Californians and the right to breathe clean air. This piece of legislation would have made it more difficult to shape clean air policies in Southern California, the nation's smog capital.

VICTORY: @governor.ca.gov just signed #AB1167 to prevent utilities from forcing customers to pay for utility lobbying and advertising costs! earthjustice.org/press/2025/c...

Great news: California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the California Ratepayer Protection Act, which prevents for-profit utilities like PG&E and SoCalGas from forcing customers to pay for political lobbying and promotional ads. This will lower energy bills for Californians - a big win!

Every time Californians pay their utility bill, they may also be footing the bill for their utility's lobbying costs. #AB1167 would put an end to this. @governor.ca.gov let's sign this important bill!

@governor.ca.gov let's get this done!

Love to see the Electric Truck and Bus coalition doing great work! So frustrating that Metro is fighting electrification at every step. Good to keep their feet to the fire. www.dailynews.com/2025/09/24/e...

It takes a LOT to get a bill all the way through the CA legislature. Help us seal the deal by asking @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social to sign AB 1167 (protecting Californians from paying utility political & promotional costs in their energy bills) and AB 1280 (supporting industrial electrification)!

Our team had a great morning urging @metrolosangeles.bsky.social to move faster in electrifying its bus fleet!

After the Olympic and Paralympic Games leave Los Angeles, Angelenos deserve a legacy beyond stadiums and smog. #ElectrifyLA28 #FutureIsElectric earthjustice.org/experts/cand...

@candyoungblood.bsky.social has it right: "Not only are we far behind what Metro itself has committed to. Also, that is not keeping pace with other host cities. We have only three years go get there so we have to take action today.” www.dailynews.com/2025/09/24/e...

That’s us 😎

​In California, Earthjustice's @righttozero.bsky.social campaign has scored wins that are transforming the energy sector. This includes landmark laws to shift the grid off fossil fuels by 2045, electrify transit, and lower utility bills — setting the standard for zero-emissions work nationwide.

TOMORROW we're hosting a rally with breakfast tacos and coffee! We'll be telling @metrolosangeles.bsky.social that now is the time to recommit to electrifying Los Angeles' bus fleet. www.eventbrite.com/e/rally-for-...

Take action today to get more electric buses on LA's roads!

🗣 Tell the LA Metro Board to electrify our buses before the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games! Let's #ElectrifyLA28 for lasting benefits for Angelenos: cleaner air, good jobs, and better rides for passengers and drivers alike. Take action here: earthjustice.org/action/tell-...

Etransit buses are just better than methane burning buses for riders. Took a SM big blue gillig ebus & it was quiet & clean. Took a methane burner back & it was loud & funky smelling Now don’t get me wrong - we need to keep using combustion buses until the end of useful life but ebuses are better.

Grab some breakfast tacos and coffee and join us for a rally to demand @metrolosangeles.bsky.social embrace a bold plan to Electrify LA28. 🗓️ Thursday, September 25 at 9 am www.eventbrite.com/e/rally-for-...

This month, we partnered with @earthjustice.org and Bellwether Coffee to welcome California policymakers and agency leaders to their facility in Berkeley to explore how coffee roasting can operate without relying on fossil fuels.

Coffee is a popular drink in California, yet the process of roasting coffee beans can be expensive and environmentally damaging. I took a tour of Berkeley's Bellwether Coffee, which is leading clean tech innovation with the development of an all-electric, ventless coffee roaster.

Some thoughts for the day… substack.com/@lasmogguy/n...

“These are dark times. But remember, California is being targeted because our leadership has made a difference.” @lasmogguy.bsky.social #FutureIsElectric

Installing heat pumps in factories could save $1.5 trillion and 77,000 lives. A new report finds that replacing conventional boilers with heat pumps could also avoid 33 million asthma attacks by 2050, thanks to improved air quality. grist.org/energy/insta... #Heatpumps #Climate #AC #Heat #Energy

Replace an air conditioner, get a heater too…without the pollution. With citywide A/C-to-heat-pump policies, we can cut emissions, clean our air, and keep homes comfortable year round. earthjustice.org/experts/matt...

Let's do this.

We had a great time talking about decarbonizing manufacturing with Bellwether Coffee and reps from CARB, CEC, CPUC, the legislature, and BAAQMD on Monday. Coffee may be a small part of our manufacturing base, but it's definitely one that many of us interact with every day.

Can confirm that zero-emission coffee tastes better ☕️⚡️ #FutureIsElectric

Southern California’s landmark gas appliance emissions rule is here to stay, putting major electrification gains within reach.

“This decision recognizes our air regulators’ long-established authority to adopt life-saving protections — and sends an undeniable signal to manufacturers and businesses that the future of California’s industrial sector is electric,” - @candyoungblood.bsky.social

The gassy emperor has no clothes. Pretty strong tidal wave of supporters for South Coast appliance rules in room. Workers, parents, students, seniors all out to support our health.

The South Coast AQMD failed to pass the (delayed and amended) clean air rules regarding water and space heaters. Here’s what led to all of this: legal-planet.org/2025/06/05/t...

Regulators seek to phase out gas-powered appliances in Southern California www.latimes.com/environment/...

Tomorrow is a BIG day for clean air in SoCal. Take a look at a piece by @evanlgeorge.bsky.social & @carahorowitz.bsky.social highlighting the gas industry’s misleading campaign to attack reasonable rules that would improve air quality. legal-planet.org/2025/06/05/t...

Good words and guidance from the smog guy in LA. @lasmogguy.bsky.social www.linkedin.com/pulse/where-...

Republican Senators recklessly voted to overturn states' life-saving zero-emissions cars standards. But states still hold their authority under the Clean Air Act to pass more protective tailpipe standards – and they should move quickly to shape new standards after today’s vote.

BREAKING: Republican Senators just broke the Senate's rules in an unlawful maneuver to overturn states' zero-emissions cars standards – a major overreach on states' rights to clean their air. Make no mistake about it – they've only gained a temporary setback in the clean energy transition.

LA Metro is behind on bus electrification—only 3% electric after 8 years since committing to 100% by 2030. But the 2028 Olympics are a rare opportunity to push Metro for bold action. Join our webinar May 20, 6:30pm PT to learn how you can help #ElectrifyLA28. RSVP: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Many House Republicans are calling for the Inflation Reduction Act to be repealed, effectively cutting new manufacturing jobs in their own districts. Now is the time to call your reps and tell them to protect the IRA and the manufacturing projects it helped fund.

Even as federal climate action stalls and reverses in the U.S., local governments can step in to protect their residents. yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/04/four...

They’re obsessed with stopping California from having clean air & a cleaner transportation system. We’re not going down without a fight. A big one. We’ve made way too much progress to let these pro-climate-change extremists derail it.

Explainer: Using ISRs to fight air pollution from mega facilities This new report by Brennon Mendez and Cara Horowitz in the Pritzker Brief series from @law.ucla.edu focuses on how to use Indirect Source Rules to fight pollution from mega facilities.

Indirect source rules are all the rage and UCLA Law's new report details why legislation like the Pollution Hotspots Solution Act (AB914) can help CA more effectively yield this powerful regulatory tool: legal-planet.org/2025/04/24/u...

Nice campaign briefing tonight for grassroots activists, led by @earthjustice.bsky.social @sierraclub.org, and @industriouslabs.bsky.social, talking about cleaning up industry in California tonight.

Awesome piece about my awesome colleague @candyoungblood.bsky.social Polluters better watch themselves with Candice on the case.

This Earth Week, I’ve been reflecting a lot on why I do this work—reflections that have felt especially grounding given the times we’re in. Thank you @green2-0.bsky.social for sharing my story. #EnvironmentalJustice #WeAreJustTryingToBreathe #FutureIsElectric #GreenJobs

On #EarthDay, we’re publishing an interview with @earthjustice.bsky.social President Abigail Dillen. 🌎 She talks about the targeting of environmental groups, how the second Trump administration is different from the first and what keeps her up at night. By @fastlerner.bsky.social
