"A U.S. federal judge in Wisconsin has ordered Enbridge to pay still-to-be-determined financial compensation to the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa for trespassing on tribal lands with its Line 5 oil pipeline."

Finally! A labor leader willing to call out oil & gas industry myths! Workers will not prosper when communities are sacrifice zones & our planet is dead. Enacting public health setbacks & ending neighborhood drilling is a pro-worker strategy. Listen up @CALegislature #SetbacksNow

NEW RESEARCH: California is suffering through a mega-drought fueled by climate change – while facing dwindling supplies of water. But all hope isn’t lost! CA can revamp how it manages water resources to better serve its people. #WaterIsAHumanRight 1/ foodandwaterwatch.org/2021/1…

Good on @EPAMichaelRegan: you are bearing witness of the LEGALIZED POISONING of ANOTHER BIPOC Community.#ENDEnvironmentalRacism & #ENDSacraficeZones. @GavinNewsom Admin still ignores; His BESTIE & Political Partner is the Top Lobbyist for EXXON.#2500FtSetBack & #BANFRACKING NOW!
Today, EPA Admin @EPAMichaelRegan is visiting Wilmington to see impacts of neighborhood drilling.
"We’re taking them to Wilmington & Southeast LA," said
@BahramFazeli with @CBECal, "where communities live across from massive sources of pollution."

Climate disruption is happening faster than the models predicted. @POTUS we need you to stop Line 3 and all fossil fuel projects. Be the President we will cherish and respect.

Californians: together, we can end fossil fuel racism in CA. SB 467 would ban extreme drilling and protect nearby communities. Join me in calling on lawmakers to vote #YesOnSB467: bit.ly/31gAFIg #NoDrillingWhereWereLiving @GreenpeaceUSA @VoicesCA @CRPE_EJ

Good afternoon. It's been 479 days since @CAgovernor committed to adopting health and safety regulations to protect the nearly 5.5M Californians living within 1 mile of an oil and gas site. 79% of Californians support safety setbacks - @GavinNewsom, what are you waiting for?

"As leaders, eh, they're not that great," he [@JuanFloresEJ] said. "As puppets they did a magnificent job."
We know who the @CountyofKern Board of Supervisors are, but our communities will be fighting back. La lucha sigue. #StandWithKern

"Hundreds of people from the community and across California called in to speak. Mike Maggard, county supervisor, called it the “longest public hearing on a single issue” he had seen in his long career." #StandWithKern

Environmental & community groups on Wednesday launched a lawsuit against #KernCounty for fast tracking over 40,000 new oil & gas wells. Why is this necessary? Because of deep #regulatorycapture by #BigOil in "green" California. #StandWithKern #oilmoneyout redgreenandblue.org/2021/03/…

“We should be prioritizing our region’s environment & community’s public health with a long-term focus on creating sustainable jobs. Sadly, with today’s vote, county leaders did not put @CountyofKern first. We look to our state legislators to vote #YesonSB467.” - @BryanOsorioT

“The people of Kern County should not be sacrificed for profit.” -@_mercyaguilar w/@SierraClubKern
@CountyofKern supervisors failed frontline communities, but the fight isn't over to end dangerous drilling.

California, under @GavinNewsom, is not leading on climate.
In fact, he gave nearly 8,000 permits to Big Oil to drill more wells since taking office, while cozying up to industry lobbyists.
No new fossil fuel infrastructure! #CASOTS
