It's been around a month since @SierraClub said the union was spreading false information about potential layoffs - and, you guessed it, since then they have laid off and locked out dozens of our members (in direct violation of our contract) as well as unrepresented staff.

.@LACountyBOS just took a major step toward environmental justice for #Inglewood!
The Board of Supervisors took their first vote to phase out oil drilling in the largest urban oil field in the US.
One more vote to go - stay tuned.

Our 🚨new report🚨 shows that TWO THIRDS of idle wells are owned by @Chevron @AeraEnergyLLC & California Resources Corporation.
That means California communities are paying the price of idle wells, while corporations continue to profit... sierraclub.org/beyond-dirty-…

Today, @SierraClub released a new report about the tens of thousands of oil wells in CA that lie idle, not producing anything but still often leaking methane and other toxins.

Corporations are stealing our democracy by spending millions of dollars on their deceitful referendum campaigns. We need #AB421 to return one of California’s most powerful direct democracy tools - the referendum - to the people.

The @SoCalGas rate increase public forum was mind blowing. The desperation by the callers, who all blamed SoCalGas' greed, was palpable. It's no surprise that people want the new rate increase rejected and SoCalGas investigated. Where is @GavinNewsom @AGRobBonta @CityAttorneyLA?
ALT People hold a large white banner reading "INVESTIGATE SOCALGAS" at a Porter Ranch intersection at the start of the Aliso Canyon gas blowout in 2015. This demand to investigate SoCalGas is still relevant today as customers demand accountability for high gas bills and an investigation into SoCalGas' price gouging and market manipulation.

The four biggest banks in America are the four biggest financiers of fossil fuel expansion in the world. These banks didn’t need Donald Trump’s help to sabotage the Paris climate accord

In an effort led by Sierra Club Foundation's Paul Rissman, 1,400+ Vanguard investors are sending letters to the world's 2nd largest asset manager saying it is violating its fiduciary duty by not adequately addressing climate risk.

Solo dos refinerías en California siguen usando AFM: la de Torrance y la de Valero, en Wilmington.
No hay uso seguro de AFM.
Desde hace mucho tiempo debían haber eliminado su uso éstas refinerías y usado en vez las alternativas más seguras que usan todas las demás refinerías.

Hoy hace 8 años hubo una explosión en la refinería de Torrance. Por poco estrella metralla contra un tanque de ácido fluorhídrico modificado.
De haber sido emanado, una nube tóxica a poca altura podría haber cobrado la vida de quien se topaba con ella.

Only two refineries in California still use MHF: the Torrance Refinery and the Valero Refinery in Wilmington.
There is no safe way to use MHF.
It's long past time for these refineries to phase out MHF and switch to the safer alternatives every other refinery in the state uses.
Clean Break retweeted
8 years ago today, there was a massive explosion at the Torrance Refinery. Shrapnel narrowly missed a tank of modified hydrofluoric acid.
If the MHF in that tank had been released, a toxic low hanging cloud could have killed anyone who came into contact with it. #BanMHF

Advocates renew call to #BanMHF on 8th anniversary of Torrance refinery explosion
@TRAAnow & elected leaders @RepBarragan @MaxineWaters @SupJaniceHahn explain modified hydrofluoric acid (MHF) poses a major threat and must be banned

Jill Johnston and Bhavna Shamasunder find air pollutants from the Murphy Drill Site are going into the community up to 1 km. The harm is like daily exposure to secondhand smoke @CityAttorneyLA @Planning4LA @MayorOfLA, enclose and electrify Murphy now! @STAND_LA @USCEnviroHealth
