Offshore wind finds a new burst of momentum - similar to the days when Assemblymember @DavidChiu led CA’s offshore wind framework! Thank you to the attorneys general of NY, NJ, CA, MA, ME, VT, DE, RI, and CT for standing up against corruption and helping to protect our economy.

Brightline’s Eddie Ahn in @latimes: “When states take the administration to court over its offshore wind war, they win.” @AGRobBonta can investigate this $2.5B+ misuse of taxpayer money and hold those responsible accountable! Sign the petition: brightlinedefense.org/califo…
Our ED Eddie Ahn testified during a congressional hearing on federal taxpayer money being used to cancel offshore wind leases. With over $100M spent to develop offshore wind, CA has another $1B in commitments to ensure continued development. Learn more: heatmap.news/politics/huffma…
Big Oil wants more handouts. CA families are already paying enough.
We need a strong Cap-and-Invest program that invests in clean air, affordability, and climate solutions -- not more loopholes for polluters.

#CapAndInvest
Proposed changes to CA’s carbon market could threaten funding for local air monitoring & community engagement programs in the Tenderloin, Mission, & SoMa.

CalEnviroScreen directs billions in CA but leaves out high-need neighborhoods like Chinatown & the Mission. @TomSteyer has visited SF Chinatown. Will others, @XavierBecerra @katieporterca, include SoMa & the Mission for funding?

#CapandInvest should cut pollution and deliver real relief to Californians - not hand billions to Big Oil. A letter from 45 climate, public health, and consumer advocacy groups calls on @AirResources to put Californians first. Read more: nextgenpolicy.org/45-organiz…
Next California governor needs to fix the misdirection of billions in environmental funding - More than 100 groups across the Bay Area are fighting for inclusion in @CaliforniaEPA CalEnviroScreen map: sfchronicle.com/opinion/lett… via @sfchronicle
Cap-and-Invest has already delivered $34B for California communities.
A strong program means lower costs, cleaner air, and sustained investments where they’re needed most.
Legislators call on @AirResources to move forward with urgency.
