Attend an action at the Air District (BAAQMD) Headquarters, stand with community youth and organizations, and tell the Board members we need them to vote the right way —on June 2nd, the next day—to protect community health from the ravages of particulate matter pollution. We cannot afford to lose this intergenerational fight for environmental justice. Our lungs just cannot afford it.
You can RSVP for the June 1st action on Facebook (or here if you don’t have Facebook).
And don’t forget to sign the petition!
The Air District must protect community health and truly bring “a healthy breathing environment for every Bay Area resident,” in the words of its mission statement.
The next day on June 2nd, the Bay Area Air District will be voting on whether to take strong regulatory action against Chevron and PBF refineries and force the facilities to make dramatic pollution cuts. After seeing the stark health impact data and hearing from community members like you, the Advisory Council of the Air District recommended that BAAQMD take “maximum feasible action within its authority to reduce emissions from [particulate matter] sources, prioritizing the most impacted areas.” However, Big Oil and its allies are lobbying aggressively against the cat cracker Rule 6-5, distorting facts and making false claims.
