"The questions about what comes next will define our city for a generation. By passing SB 1259, California can give communities like mine a fighting chance to answer them." Thank you to City Councilmember Kari Birdseye for sharing this important perspective! 🔥 www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-e...

California’s state oil regulator has fined oil company E&B Natural Resources more than $1 million for endangering California’s drinking water by * knowingly * injecting toxic fluids into a broken oil well. They knew the well was broken and still injected into it. www.bakersfield.com/news/state-a...

Last week, residents in Wilmington found an oil tank leaking near the Wilmington Athletic Complex. They smelled strong and noxious odors close to where kids play sports and neighbors exercise....

So many friends, neigbhors, & allies worked for years to close the Jefferson Drill Site & aninmate a vision that attracted funding to buy the land for the blessing of our community. Great storytelling by PBS SoCal @standla.bsky.social @redeemercp.bsky.social @pbs.org www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWBc...

This morning’s oil pipeline rupture in East Los Angeles is a sharp reminder that the business of oil and gas extraction has no place in our communities. Residents live with the constant threat of spills, leaks, explosions, and exposure to toxic air, but they shouldn't have to.

NEW STUDY ALERT: Air pollution from fossil fuels causes an estimated 91,000 premature deaths per year in the U.S. The study confirms that the greatest burden falls on Black and brown community health. Join us in demanding environmental justice: #StandForJustice pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

“The truth is, California oil production is in its final chapter, and the fossil fuel industry is leaving a legacy of destruction in its wake." – Cesar Aguirre, Central California Environmental Justice Network

Months after the devastating LA fires, frontline communities are still experiencing toxic health impacts. South LA resident and @scope-la.bsky.social member, Iretha Warmsley, explains here how continued neighborhood oil drilling only makes these harms worse: lasentinel.net/once-and-for...

@laist.com reporter Erin Stone focuses on advocates' urgent efforts to protect communities from oil sites' toxic health impacts even as they work with city leaders to end neighborhood oil drilling. @redeemercp.bsky.social @standla.bsky.social laist.com/news/climate...

Eliminating Los Angeles' climate emergency office is "just a huge red flag for [environmental justice] communities who are constantly being told that they’re not a priority," - Agustin Cabrera, policy director, @scope-la.bsky.social www.latimes.com/environment/...

Happy #EarthWeek! Here's a petition to get neighborhood oil drilling out of LA 💚 🙏🏽 @standla.bsky.social

Every LA community has a stake in this fight. But it's frontline communities who have been ringing the alarm bells for over a decade about the dangers of oil and gas drilling. Hear it from Ashley of Communities for a Better Environment.

When you're trapped in a hole, stop digging. LA has already seen enough air pollution, wildfire smoke, and homes destroyed. We're DONE with fossil fuels. Maya Golden-Krasner with @centerforbiodiv explains that recovering from wildfires requires moving forward without oil drilling.

In our recent community webinar, South LA resident and @scope-la.bsky.social member Iretha shared her story, determination, and hope with us. Residents like Iretha keep this movement alive.
