We’re days away from the California State Senate voting on three transformative bills to hold Big Oil accountable and protect communities from deadly oil and gas pollution. We just need to secure a few more votes to get these crucial protections passed into law.
How do we do this? Come out to the Capitol on Monday 8/26 at noon for a big joyous outpouring of support for this important legislation. Senators will be reviewing hundreds of bills in the final days of the session. We need to focus their attention on these bills and secure their support.
Sign up here to take a stand on the Capitol lawn!
Front groups for the oil industry have spent millions of dollars lobbying to sink these bills and protect Big Oil profits. One notorious oil industry group (sounds like whiska!) is even planning a rally next Monday at the Capitol. At high noon. Are we going to let them outflank us? Outnumber us? Nope!
About the bills:
- Idle Well Clean-Up (AB 1866 – Hart): Forces oil companies to clean up their idle wells much faster.
- Low-Producing Well Accountability Act (AB 2716 – Bryan): Fines oil companies operating in the Inglewood Oil Field $10,000/month for operating low-producing wells near communities.
- Local Environmental Choice and Safety Act (AB 3233 – Addis): Protects local governments’ authority to restrict oil & gas production in their jurisdictions. Passage of this bill will enable a Contra Costa drilling ban.
All of us together can show that our movement, and not Big Oil, has the people’s support. Please join us on Monday! Sign up and recruit others from your networks. Childless cat ladies most welcome.

Cosponsors include 350 Sacramento, 350 Bay Area Action, California Environmental Justice Alliance, Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund, The Climate Center, Food & Water Watch, Greenpeace USA, Last Chance Alliance, Oil & Gas Action Network, Sacramento Climate Coalition, Sunflower Alliance and Third Act Sacramento.
