GOOD NEWS: #SB222 passes the Senate Floor! Thank you @scottwiener.bsky.social for your leadership to make heat pump installations faster, easier, and more affordable for homeowners and contractors in California. bit.ly/4qNArSG

Why are Realtor associations fighting clean air standards that lower bills & reduce pollution? Follow the money! Check out this @sierraclub.org blog that breaks down fossil fuel ties and political influence behind the opposition: www.sierraclub.org/articles/202...

Grateful for the time spent in community and solidarity with the incredible folks @equaljustice.bsky.social Here are some highlights. If you’re looking for a way to support transformative racial justice work rooted in love and rigor, consider giving today. youtu.be/RmPnwF7PXIc

@lasmogguy.bsky.social put it so well. "Before Jesse, there was no playbook. What was remarkable from the beginning is that Jesse wasn’t afraid to write stuff down, to demand things, to spend lots of time scouring for evidence.”

Most U.S. passenger and freight trains still operate on diesel engines built decades ago. A new report from the American Lung Association highlights how these dirty trains harm our health and why we urgently need new standards. www.lung.org/media/press-...

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.

This was 100% the right decision. Now it's up to South Coast AQMD to do what's right advance the strongest actions to protect communities using all tools available.

Thank you, @governor.ca.gov, for vetoing this dangerous bill. Agencies protecting us from pollution need more tools, not fewer to do their job. This decision keeps California moving toward cleaner air. Now local agencies have a chance to do what's right. 🌎

Still relevant. @governor.ca.gov this bill is not needed, and will do more harm by chilling rules on air pollution when we can least afford it. Unlike the feds, you can let local agencies have all options to reduce pollution. #VetoSB34

💯. @governor.ca.gov - be the Governor that stood up to for-profit utilities and sign #AB1167 to make California the 7th state to protect customers from footing the bill for their lobbying and promotional campaigns!

Community groups come to South Coast AQMD and spoke truth, stated the facts, and even had visuals for the SCAQMD Board. The message is simple, we need stronger action to reduce port pollution, not just plans. Onward.

This is terrible for so many reasons. Bad for our air. Bad for our climate goals. Bad for businesses.

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...

Welcome back, #LAUSD students! 🚍💨 Thrilled to see zero-emissions buses rolling out — a fresh start to the year with cleaner air in our future. Let’s keep going until every ride is clean. #LAUSD #ElectrifyIt #CleanAirLA

We have the hottest country in the world. They’re all saying it… the hottest country in the world. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Terrific report. Anyone pondering what more can be done to address pollution should read today.

In summary: We predict that you’re going to hear a lot more about ISRs very soon. Read more from Brennon Mendez and Cara Horowitz at @legal-planet.org legal-planet.org/2025/04/24/u...

Thank you @asmmarcberman.bsky.social for authoring AB 1167 to ensure cost of for-profit utility lobbying and PR campaigns are kept out of California energy bills. @earthjustice.bsky.social is proud to co-sponsor! It's time to take politics out of our utility bills! earthjustice.org/press/2025/c...

On March 12, EPA Administrator Zeldin launched a sweeping 31-point plan to dismantle key environmental protections. One of his biggest targets was clean water protections. Here is how this will affect the safe water we all depend on:

Trump wants to build more ships in the United States. It’s not so simple. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Great article by Alejandra Reyes-Velarde @calmatters.org My takeaway: going to zero emissions across the board is essential, but plans alone won’t get us there, we need action and less pollution to follow. calmatters.org/environment/...

New Yorkers need #NYHeat! "The NY HEAT Act is the clear solution to lowering energy bills, curbing future rate hikes, and saving the 1 in 4 families who already can’t afford their energy bills an average of $136 every single month." earthjustice.org/press/2025/n...

L.A. temporarily bans evictions for renovations

Offshore drilling directly threatens the public health and economic resilience of coastal communities, as well as vital ecosystems. We are standing with our partners and millions of people who would be harmed by this illegal order. See you in court, President Trump.

Calling all New York folks: join transportation leaders and city officials this Friday, February 28 at 9 am to hear how NYC can reduce the deadly pollution from mega-e commerce warehouses.

The bottom line is congestion pricing is working. It's reducing traffic and has already raised $48.6 million in tolls in just one month. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/n...

Rather hear this broken record than continue breaking records for air pollution! Take action, push back in gas company efforts to keep us tethered to their poison.

🚨SoCal folks: Take action to support clean air! The gas industry wants to tank life-saving standards that will clean up pollution from buildings. Public support will help get a strong rule from regulators. Plz take two minutes to send a letter though link below: earthjustice.org/action/tell-...

$2 billion in public health care savings at stake. But gas Co. wants us to keep footing the bill and keep us chained to their health-harming product. ⏰ break up with polluting appliances. Send SCAQMD a letter; we need zero- -NOx rules now! earthjustice.org/action/tell-...

There's still good stuff happening at the local level! Earlier this week, the Long Beach City Council voted unanimously to electrify its garbage trucks. This is a big step forward and will help clean up the area's dangerously poor air quality. www.presstelegram.com/2025/02/12/l...

Come to read about PG&E's disingenuous attempt to pull back from a zonal electrification project in Monterey. Stay for the pic of me in my kitchen :) But srsly, @californiapuc.bsky.social should require PG&E to move forward with at least some project phases, which saves $$ and gets us off gas.

Thank you @drrobertbullard.bsky.social for your leadership. Everyone deserves to breathe clean air.

Thank you @benallenca.bsky.social & Sen Stern for asking @californiapuc.bsky.social for answers on costs of building back with gas, ways it can facilitate all-electric construction, and role of gas line fires in complicating firefighting. We need a proactive PUC to enable thoughtful rebuilding.

Many saw gas lines continue to burn even as structures were destroyed and winds intensified. Now is not the time to suspend rules facilitating all-electric buildings—free from dangerous gas infrastructure. Let’s rebuild smarter, safer, and cleaner for the future. www.latimes.com/california/s...

LA Times says we should think carefully about how we rebuild in burned areas—true, but that must include rethinking burning methane in buildings. Prioritize safety & climate resilience and go all-electric. #CleanEnergy #RightToZero www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

Amidst the wildfire crisis in SoCal, there is a glimmer of good news out of Long Beach, which just became the second city in CA to commit to electrifying all of its garbage trucks. earthjustice.org/press/2025/l...

Editorial: Another year, another broken promise to curb air pollution from L.A. ports. A must read. What’s at stake? Preventing “1,500 early deaths a year” Regulators must to do their job. #wearejusttryingtobreathe www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

“It could prevent 3,400 fewer premature deaths per year, 1,300 fewer hospital visits and 220,000 fewer asthma attacks, all of which amounted to about $40 billion in benefits, according to the study” Any agency concerned with public health should take notice. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/10/c...

Must-read report.

🚨 Big shoutout to my amazing colleague @candiceyoungblood.blu for kicking things off at the Rally for clean air 🌍 the urgent need for action to protect our communities and move toward cleaner, healthier air for all. 💨 #EnvironmentalJustice #CleanAir #RightToZero @candyoungblood.bsky.social

Unhealthy air several days in a row,and its December. But community is not giving up, we know more can and must be done to stop polluters from poisoning our air

This morning, we joined dozens of community groups and residents to tell the South Coast Air Quality Management District that we deserve to breathe clean air!

In case you missed it, a report found gas stoves are filling DC homes with asthma-linked NO2, but a local news outlet pulled the story. It’s wrong to suppress critical information about the dangers of using gas in our homes. Great reporting from @emorwee.bsky.social. heated.world/p/dc-news-st...
