PODER familia,

AB 523 (Reyes) is coming up to a vote in the Assembly. Although it passed the floor with 51-20-9, we heard today that the Bay Area Caucus is not going to support our bill.

We are looking for constituents in the Bay Area to call their legislators today to urge their YES vote.

Please help get our bill to the Governor’s desk by calling your legislators, tweet at them, and sharing with others in the Bay Area. A sample script is below.

Thank you.

Call script:

Hello, my name is _______ and I live in _______.
I am calling to urge Assemblymember ________ advance energy equity in California.
This bill is adopted from a recommendation by the California Energy Commission in their SB 350 Barriers report.
Although disadvantaged communities make up 25% of the state, the fund has only funded 14% of disadvantaged communities.
We know that frontline environmental justice communities are the most impacted by harmful fossil fuel production, and are not getting the full benefits of clean energy innovation for a healthier transition.
We need our legislators to stand strong with our environmental justice and low income communities by saying YES to AB 523 (Reyes).
Thank you for your time.

Contact your legislators today.

Tell them to vote No on AB 398.

Governor Brown negotiated this bill behind closed doors with Big Oil.

Say No to a bad climate deal and Yes to Climate Justice!

The California Environmental Justice Alliance is just released their 4th Environmental Justice Scorecard today for the 2016 Legislative Session — the only one in the state to assess how well California’s elected officials supported actions to address environmental issues that impact low-income communities and communities of color.

For the first time ever, CEJA has also released an Environmental Justice Agency Assessment including EJ Principles for policy implementation, with an analysis of how state regulatory agencies, which play such a powerful role in protecting low-income communities and communities of color, can improve their commitment to and inclusion of environmental justice within policy implementation.

As environmental justice communities brace to be hit first and worst by attacks under the Trump administration, it is more important than ever that we lift up the values and principles that we must see from all our elected official in this new era.
