John, last month, Bakersfield, California, became a stark reminder of the dangers we face from Big Oil’s disregard for our communities and our environment.
A pipe ruptured in front of Buena Vista Elementary, spilling up to 10 barrels of crude oil into an intersection where parents gather to pick up their kids from school. But this isn't an isolated incident.
In 2023 alone, California's Office of Spill Prevention and Response was on the ground for about 300 incidents, due to severity or threats to water and wildlife.
We're fed up and ready to act—are you? Chip in anything you can today to help us fight back against Big Oil and build a cleaner, safer future for all.
Across the country, 17 million+ people—including 2.1 million Californians—live within a mile of an active drilling well, and the health impacts are startling. Exposure can lead to birth defects, cardiovascular disease, and asthma.
And who's bearing the brunt? Our most vulnerable communities, where low-income families and people of color are living through environmental injustices every day.
Here’s the kicker: instead of taking accountability and changing course, the Oil & Gas Industry is spending millions of dollars to protect the very same operations wreaking havoc on our communities.
And if you think Big Oil will stop at California, you’re wrong.
We are mobilizing to fight back, to educate voters, and to ensure that the voices of the most vulnerable are heard loud and clear. But we cannot do this alone. Your contribution today will directly support our efforts to amplify this critical message and protect millions of communities from the dangers of toxic oil drilling. Can we count on your support?
