Caleja.olrg<\/strong><\/p>\n This year, California’s Air Resources Board (CARB) is developing its 2022 Scoping Plan, a blueprint for California\u2019s climate policy for the next 20 years. The stakes are huge. <\/strong>The Scoping Plan could commit California to bold action and a full, coordinated phase-out of oil and gas \u2014 or it could replicate many of the loopholes that have allowed Big Oil to continue to pollute our neighborhoods.<\/p>\n Take action by sending a letter to California decision-makers today.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Climate Center<\/strong><\/p>\n Fossil fuel lobbyists have spent millions of dollars to influence this plan and they have CARB\u2019s attention. We have a narrow window of opportunity between now and June to push back and we need your voice. Tell the California Air Resources Board that climate action by 2045 is too late!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Sierra Club<\/strong><\/p>\n The California Air Resources Board (CARB) released a draft of the state\u2019s 2022 Climate Change Scoping Plan Update, which lays out a roadmap for how the state can achieve its carbon emissions goals. Unfortunately, the draft plan doesn\u2019t go far enough in meeting several of those climate goals, including reducing our dependence on fossil fuels, and protecting California communities from pollution. Even worse, it won\u2019t allow the state to reach carbon neutrality until 2045.<\/p>\n Tell CARB 2045 is too late to reach our climate goals!

But even the initial cost of the Green New Deal for Schools would be less than the U.S. government gives each year to just five weapons companies. 350 Silicon Valley and 350 Humboldt<\/strong><\/p>\n You may have already signed this petition. If not, please do so.<\/p>\n CARB’s draft clean cars rule<\/a> falls short of the actions we need. Because cars generally stay on the road for 20 years, the 2035 target date CARB proposes for all-ZEV passenger vehicle sales will be much too late to avoid the worst of the fires, droughts, disease, and other dangers brought by a warming planet, as it perpetuates our need for oil. California must lead the nation in the transition to 100 percent no later than 2030. If we do, other states will follow, the auto industry will accelerate production of clean cars\u2014and prices will fall for everyone.<\/p>\n Click here to sign our petition and leave an additional comment for CARB,telling them why the transition away from gasoline-powered vehicles is both important\u2014and urgent.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Sierra Club asks for an action on the same issue<\/strong><\/p>\n Setting strong zero-emissions vehicle sales requirements will help lower air pollution and protect public health, especially for the majority of Californians who are living in places with unhealthy levels of ozone or particle pollution. And, as transportation is our largest source of carbon pollution, transitioning to electric vehicles will reduce the risk of climate disasters.<\/p>\n We need your help strengthening the ACC II rule today. Join us and tell California that we cannot allow cars and trucks to continue polluting our communities.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Climate Reality Project<\/strong><\/p>\n The US Army Corps of Engineers is formally reviewing the Nationwide Permit (NWP) 12, which authorizes oil and natural gas pipeline activities. The NWP 12 has been key in allowing companies to bypass environmental reviews and public input to construct pipelines in certain circumstances. This is a critical moment to stop Big Oil from using these loopholes and harming our communities. The comment period closes in just a few days and we need your support now to make a difference.<\/p>\n Join us: Tell the US Army Corps of Engineers to only issue permits based on sound science, considerations and ramifications of the climate and environmental justice impacts, and extensive input from all impacted communities.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Climate Hawks Vote<\/strong><\/p>\n There\u2019s a very serious problem brewing at the Commerce Department that could destroy the entire United States solar industry. Solar panel supply problems are already causing utilities to keep coal plants open instead of moving to clean renewable solar power. Joe Biden needs to fix it.<\/p>\n Take action now: Tell the Commerce Department to stop stifling solar power.<\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n WRITE LETTERS TO VOTERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Please join our letter-writing group Sunday evenings at 7pm.
