Tonight, the State Legislature passed and acting Governor @CASenateProTem Mike McGuire signed our $10 billion Climate Resiliency Bond Act. This critical piece of legislation is for the future of California. Proud of this team.

The CA climate bond now heads to voters! The cost of inaction is dangerously high. The new #ClimateBond will help communities prepare now. Thank you @ilike_mike @CASpeakerRivas and #caleg members for giving voters a chance to support climate action. caclimatebond.org/news

It’s literally 112 degrees in Sacramento today… #CALeg can we count on you to join the team and pass a $10 billion package to fund programs that would help Californians fight extreme heat, drought, and wildfires? #climatebondnow

We need a #climatebond NOW! We can't credibly provide Californians with clean water, air & protection from fires, extreme heat, & other devastating climate impacts with a second year of budget cuts & funding delays. @DrJasmeetBains @BauerKahan @AsmLuzRivas @AsmPhilTing

We proudly joined 160+ orgs urging #CALeg to secure a #ClimateBond for conservation, climate resilience, & safe drinking water. The Legislature has until WEDNESDAY, July 3, 2024, to act! We need your voice to tell lawmakers to support a #ClimateBondNow: bit.ly/3WdD8kx

The climate bond #CALeg is voting on has the chance to be one of the most intersectional & multi-sector approaches to tackling the climate crisis because it prioritizes EJ priorities that touch on local energy, housing, urban infrastructure, public health, etc. #ClimateBondNow

Dear @AsmLuzRivas: SB867 is twice as big as any comparable CA bond. Help make history by SUPPORTING #SB867! Voters deserve a real choice to support investments in proven climate solutions needed now to build a better future. bit.ly/3L8FJW8

☎️ ACTION ALERT ☎️ The California legislature will vote on the climate bond TOMORROW and these Assemblymembers are still undecided. We need investments in clean drinking water, sustainable agriculture, and wildfire readiness. Your phone call could help us get there!

Great to hear @EnvDefenseFund's José Rodriguez-Flores speak on multibenefit land repurposing at @WaterEdFdn's Sustainable Groundwater in Ag Conference. Repurposing can boost community health, economic well-being, water supply, flood control & more: edf.org/media/report-after-t…

It’s no coincidence that many who didn’t want Congress and the nation to hear the officer testimonies this morning also don’t want our children to hear the truth about racism and white supremacy any school morning.

Still timely: #cawater
I'm doing a blog series on improving California water rights administration and oversight for future droughts. You can find the first post, "Why It’s Important to Prepare for Drought During a Deluge," here: #CAwater #CAdrought legal-planet.org/2019/03/07/…

"Let’s be clear — what you are doing is not about climate action or responding to an emergency. It never was. This is communication tactics disguised as politics." Yesterday I adressed the #AustrianWorldSummit along with Angela Merkel, António Guterres, Alok Sharma and others.

Replying to @CaWaterBoards
@CAWaterBoards SAFER Program is designed to ensure that communities have access to safe and affordable drinking water. We encourage you to learn more about the SAFER Program and share your input by attending the 2021 #SAFERSummerSeries: waterboards.ca.gov/safer.
To successfully pursue @POTUS ambitious agenda, the federal gov needs to rethink #tech and create partnerships on enviro conservation and stewardship. This is an opportunity for a Digital Service for the Planet to provide clear policy and investment. bit.ly/DSPlanet
