In 2021, @BrightlineDef worked with low-income #SF tenants to get them government-funded air purifiers. But only half got them, due to red tape.
So they worked with @CCSROC @LaVozLatinaSF to cut the tape. Now? Devices are landing in tenants’ hands.

Good read here on how @BrightlineDef and @LaVozLatinaSF helped @AirDistrict make it easier to get air purifiers to people who need them.

For John Britt, the constant dust was upsetting, and it triggered his asthma. “It’s hard to breathe,” he said.
Now he and many other low-income tenants have cleaner air, thanks to a pilot project by local groups @CCSROC @LaVozLatinaSF @BrightlineDef

Joined my colleagues to call for $1 billion to fund investments in port infrastructure in CA. Offshore wind development is front & center for Central Coast communities & when done right w/ scientific clarity & valuing tribal & local voices, is a part of CA’s climate solution.

This is good to see California in the mix. Let's ensure we do offshore wind the right way- community benefit agreements, protecting the ocean, and a skilled workforce. Let's go big on offshore wind.

Thanks @AsmDawnAddis for your leadership! The Offshore Wind Community Engagement Act will help us #GoBigOnOffshoreWind, engage communities throughout the process, and meet our climate goals.
AB 2537 - Offshore Wind Community Engagement Act, passed unanimously out of the Natural Resources Committee! This crucial legislation aims to promote community engagement in offshore wind projects, ensuring that local voices are heard in the decision-making process.
