Sable Offshore Corp. is trying to reopen the oil pipeline in Santa Barbara that spilled 100,000 gallons into the Pacific in 2015. Fill out our one-minute form to ask your representative to vote YES on AB 1448 and protect our oceans from dangerous offshore drilling.

Team,

Ten years ago, there was a major oil spill off the coast of Santa Barbara. A decade later, tar still sticks to your feet when you walk the beaches there.

Now, Sable Offshore Corp. has repeatedly defied orders by the California Coastal Commission to stop work as they try to reopen the same pipeline that dumped more than 100,000 gallons of crude oil into the Pacific Ocean. (1)

We're not okay with risking major oil spills every year to satisfy corporate greed. Friend, fill out our form to ask your representatives to protect California coasts by voting YES on AB 1448 before Friday's floor vote deadline.

The California Coastal Commission has already fined Sable Offshore a record $18 million—the largest ever levied against a company by the Commission. But Sable is fighting this in court by arguing that their work on the pipeline is still valid under the permits that were issued to the development's previous owner in 1987. (2)

As we face a federal government that caters to Big Oil, we need an ironclad solution to prevent companies like Sable from reopening offshore drilling against the wishes of Californians. That's why we need Assemblymember Gregg Hart's Protecting Against Expanded Offshore Oil Drilling (AB 1448), a bill that would strengthen California's ability to regulate offshore drilling, construction, and oversight to ensure safety and legal compliance for these dangerous coastal rigs.

We only have until Friday to make sure this bill passes the Assembly floor, and we need every representative's vote. Fill out our one-minute form to email your representative and ask them to support this vital bill for clean and safe oceans.

We're confident that with your help, we can achieve a future free of dangerous offshore oil pipelines and oil spills in our oceans.

Thanks for being part of this movement,
