The truth is, our coastal ecosystem simply cannot handle another oil spill like the one we had last year. The damage inflicted on our oceans and beaches will take years to recover from. And these spills threaten not only the amazing sea life that lives here but our coastal communities and economies as well.
Let’s not wait for this to happen again.
While tragic, the oil spill was also completely predictable and preventable. No amount of regulation can make oil drilling completely safe.
The only way to guarantee our coast and communities stay clean and unpolluted is to decommission the oil rigs off our coast, shift away from our dependence on fossil fuels, and transition to clean, renewable energy.
Even now, these corporate polluters are asking the White House to reinstate their lease so they can continue drilling again. We must do everything in our power to loosen the grip that oil companies have on our lawmakers and demand immediate action to safeguard our shores.
Friend, your voice is more important than ever. We’re rallying as much support as we can to prove to our leaders in California that we, California’s Environmental Voters, are sick and tired of their climate inaction.
