Indigenous communities are hit hardest by climate change & water inequities. It’s incredibly disheartening that AB 2218 (a bill meant to fix these injustices) was vetoed.
Tribal leaders aren't backing down and neither are we. We'll be there to support every step of the way.

Five days after signing a law formalizing a state apology for “harms and atrocities” against California’s Native peoples, Gov. Newsom vetoed two additional bills that tribes had championed, one on water and the other on sacred sites. cal.news/4rU1ays

There are 3 bills on @CAGovernor’s desk focused on wildfire prevention, forests, and public lands.
AB 1891 funds prescribed and cultural burns.
AB 2494 manages our state forests health, NOT timber output.
SB 1268 ensure park access for everyone!

In a letter to the editor, a San Francisco resident criticizes Governor Newsom’s veto of AB 2494, arguing it traps state forest management in outdated 1940s standards that prioritize logging over modern ecological stewardship.

🚨 #AB2218 & #SB811 are on @CAgovernor desk. AB 2218 meaningfully incorporates Tribe’s voices into state water. SB 811 creates weak oversight for hazardous metal shreddings. 📞 Call Newsom and urge him to protect California Communities, Tribes, and Environment (916) 445 2841

💧 California’s water policies have lasting impacts on Tribal communities, cultural resources & ecosystems. AB 2218 would strengthen Tribal participation in state water decision-making. It’s now on Newsom’s desk. Call (916) 445-2841 and urge him to sign AB 2218!

You need to hear about these 3 clean water bills on @CAGovernor’s desk:
SB 1125 helps pay the water bill.
SB 1085 checks the water supply before approving big projects nearby.
AB 2218 gives tribes their right to make decisions about their water supply.

Tribal communities deserve a seat at the table over decisions that affect their water supply.
AB 2218 by @Ash_Kalra requires state water agencies to include tribes in water decisions and advances!

Communities - and the state - shouldn't be left in the dark when oil refineries close. That's why we need #SB1259. sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/art…

AB 2218 has unanimously passed the California State Assembly and now advances to the Senate. This landmark legislation seeks to address historic inequities in California water policy and strengthen Tribal sovereignty in water governance.

Many sectors of the energy industry are required to plan for what happens if they close their facilities. So should oil refineries. That's why I authored #SB1259. I am glad to report that the Senate passed the bill today. @APEN4EJ @CBECal @cejapower Read more. sd38.senate.ca.gov/news/sena…

While the Trump administration works to dismantle key climate pollution protections, California can lead with the Clean Skies Act to cut diesel pollution and protect public health. Californians: tell your assemblymember to vote YES on AB 1777: on.nrdc.org/4dthGPa
