Hi CLCV Member,
At this moment we are all feeling the impacts of the very present climate
crisis. These are uncertain and scary times. While we are grappling with a
worsening pandemic, now Californians are facing displacement, pollution,
extreme heat, blackouts and more. What’s most heartbreaking is that this
climate chaos is preventable; it is a direct result of our incessant
burning of fossil fuels.
[ [link removed] ]Tell Assembly leadership TODAY that we need climate action on
transportation - we know what needs to be done and we need leadership that
will step up.
If we cut carbon pollution we can slow the climate crisis and avoid the
most catastrophic impacts. Do you know the biggest source of carbon
pollution? You guessed it - transportation. Our gas fueled cars, trucks
and busses. Yet, California has failed to make any of the big changes to
our transportation infrastructure that are needed. And one legislator in
particular has single handedly stopped bill after bill focused on clean
transportation efforts. Jim Frazier is the Chair of the Assembly
Transportation Committee, a committee that in recent years is where clean
transportation and transit policy proposals are killed. Assemblymember
Frazier refuses to lead on a clean transportation future and our
communities are suffering as a result.
Frazier has gone so far as to write a letter as Chair of the Assembly
Transportation Committee asking the California Air Resources Board (CARB)
to suspend and delay the development and implementation of pollution
regulations.
California cannot afford more inaction on the climate crisis, our lives,
livelihoods and communities are at stake.

action on transportation NOW.
Best,
Mary Creasman
Chief Executive Officer
California League of Conservation Voters
