BREAKING from Politico: Oil industry group drops ballot initiative to drill near California homes
We did it, John! We scored a HUGE VICTORY last night against Big Oil in California!
Thanks to the relentless efforts of Jane Fonda and a broad coalition of frontline community climate activists, Big Oil officially DROPPED its dangerous referendum from the November ballot! This monumental win is proof of what we can achieve together — with your support, our determination, and powerful grassroots action!
We're just getting started! With your support, we can secure more environmental wins and protect our future. We’ll unpack how we got here, and what this means for the future of our work, but if you can, please rush a donation before our critical end-of-quarter deadline to fight Big Oil's influence and ensure more victories like this one.

What this victory means: As of now, SB 1137, the 3,200-foot setback law passed in 2022, is once again the law of the land in California.
But it didn’t happen overnight…
- Jane’s unwavering leadership and tireless organizing were pivotal in this fight. Jane rallied the art world to raise $10 million in a single night to take on this referendum.
- She came together with environmental champions, front-line communities, and powerful allies like Nalleli Cobo, Governor Gavin Newsom, and former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to bring attention to this dirty measure at a press conference in March.
- In the final days before the June 27th deadline to remove measures from the CA ballot, Jane starred in a compelling ad with philanthropist Wendy Schmidt, LA County Supervisor Holly Mitchell, and activist Nalleli Cobo to remind Californians how detrimental this referendum was for our children, our communities, and our health.
- And of course, Jane reached out to this community on multiple occasions to raise money and awareness about Big Oil’s dirty scheme to overturn this life-saving law. By being a Jane PAC supporter, YOU played a part in this victory, John!
From the very start, Jane knew that protecting California’s communities required bold action and grassroots power. And look at what we’ve achieved together! Big Oil spent $61 million trying to deceive voters, and they FAILED!
Here’s the thing: Big Oil may have retreated for now, but they’re not giving up. They’ve already announced plans to sue over the law, hoping to overturn our hard-earned victory in the courts.
That’s why we need your support more than ever. With your help, we can continue to defend the 3,200-foot setback law to ensure that all Californians are protected from the dangers of oil drilling, and continue to rein in the fossil fuel industry’s attempts to harm our communities and our climate.
We only have 72 hours left to meet our critical $25,000 end-of-quarter fundraising goal. Your donation will help us keep up the fight against Big Oil and secure more victories for our environment. Please, chip in anything you can right now to show the oil industry that their era of unchecked power is over >>> [[link removed]]
