Sacramento promised to require community benefits from developers. Has the city followed through? July 24, 2024, The Sacramento Bee

In 2021, the city of Sacramento promised to require real estate developers pursing major construction projects to provide benefits to local neighborhoods.

Make Polluters Pay 8/26/2024

Rally at the Capitol to Make Polluters Pay!

When: Monday, August 26, 2024 at 12:00 pm

Where: California State Capitol — SW Corner near 10th and N St

We’re just days away from the California State Senate voting on three transformative bills to hold Big Oil accountable and protect communities from deadly oil and gas pollution. We have the momentum on our side, but we need a few more senators to vote yes for these crucial protections.

Sign up for the rally to show our legislators there is huge support for these protections.

Senators will be reviewing hundreds of bills in the final two weeks of the session – we need to capture their attention now and win their support. And, lobby groups for the oil industry have spent millions of dollars to try and sink these bills and protect Big Oil profits. One oil industry group may even be planning a demonstration next Monday at the Capitol as well.

ECOS is co-sponsoring this event. Contact Alexandra Reagan at office[at]ecosacramento[dot]net to help staff the event for ECOS. Recruit others from your networks!

Learn more about the bills:

  • Idle Well Clean-Up (AB 1866 – Hart): Forces oil companies to clean up their idle wells much faster.
  • Low-Producing Well Accountability Act (AB 2716 – Bryan): Fines oil companies operating in the Inglewood Oil Field $10,000/month for operating low-producing wells near communities.
  • Local Environmental Choice and Safety Act (AB 3233 – Addis): Protects local governments’ authority to restrict oil & gas production in their jurisdictions.

Event cosponsors include ECOS, 350 Sacramento, California Environmental Justice Alliance, Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund, Central California Environmental Justice Network, Food & Water Watch, Greenpeace USA, Last Chance Alliance, Sierra Club California and many more!
