Friend, With California experiencing more and more severe wildfire seasons, we desperately need dedicated federal dollars to help us tackle this issue head on. Through our federal lobbying around President Biden’s infrastructure plan to build back better, CLCV is strongly advocating for billions of dollars specifically designed and allocated for mitigating and preventing wildfires. Last year, California experienced the worst wildfire season on record, killing and injuring dozens, burning over 4 million acres and costing over $12 billion. We don't have anymore time to waste on addressing this issue. In our own recent polling, we found that Californians across the political spectrum- including self-identified Democrats, Independents and Republicans- share our urgency and concern about wildfires. We’re encouraged to know this is a universal, non-partisan issue, and Californians want federal support on wildfire mitigation and prevention. |
