Hi CLCV Member,  

With state legislators heading home for the year, we are ending this
year’s legislative session with more inaction on the climate crisis.
What’s most heartbreaking is the pain that families are feeling across the
state as they battle fires, toxic air quality, extreme heat, rolling black
outs, amid a respiratory pandemic - all of which are preventable. We know
how to stop these worsening climate impacts and how to become more
resilient to our changing climate, but our elected officials kicked the
can down the road yet again this year.

Bills to address single-use plastics (AB 1080/SB 54) failed to get the
final 4 votes needed to move forward in the final moments of this year’s
legislative session. Legislation to stop oil companies from drilling near
homes and schools (AB 345) died in Committee. An effort to protect 30% of
our lands and waters by the year 2030 didn’t advance (AB 3030). And the
Assembly Transportation Committee is still run by Jim Frazier, who is
obstructing efforts to address the biggest source of climate emissions in
our state.

holding our elected officials accountable.

CLCV Member, we only have until 2030 to prevent the most catastrophic
impacts of the climate crisis and prepare for what’s happening, and right
now there’s no clear vision or agenda from leadership in Sacramento on how
to tackle this challenge. Big Oil and other industry interests have a hold
on our state legislature and are putting our future at risk. There are a
handful of elected officials in Sacramento who are fighting hard to
advance climate justice, but their numbers are too few. We need bold
swings, not baby steps, to meet this deadline — and voters are far ahead
of our legislative leaders on this, with research showing this is their
priority this cycle. 

The Governor’s and Legislator’s inaction this year will cost many
Californians their lives and livelihoods. These are decisions with real
impacts, and our communities deserve better.

Thank you for being in this fight with us,
