Team,
Today marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day.
While we work day and night to fight this pandemic, I want you to know that we’re not letting corporate polluters and President Trump off the hook for their anti-science agenda.
With the planet’s health and our own inextricably linked, climate action is more important than ever.
We’ve filed over 40 environmental lawsuits against the Trump administration, securing dozens of wins to protect the air we breathe and water we drink.
We’ve held big oil companies accountable.
We’re fighting for farmworkers, communities of color, and low-income neighborhoods hit worst by pollution and the climate crisis.
For me, these fights are personal.
Well before the first Earth Day in 1970, my parents would say: “¡Apaga la luz! Turn off the light when you leave the room.” I never stopped listening to them — doing my part to not just lower our energy bill, but to protect our environment.
Now, decades later, as Attorney General of California, I continue to do all I can to protect our planet.
We stand at a critical moment in our planet’s future. And on this Earth Day, our fight continues.
Stay safe and well,
Xavier
