Senate Bill 982 simply asks the oil and gas industry to pay their fair share.

After decades of lying about the negative impacts on our health and our economy by THEIR fossil fuel products, this bill’s main purpose is to bring justice for Californians.

State action is needed to safeguard California voting rights | Opinion “State leaders can act now to protect free and fair elections in California, and to make sure that all eligible Californians have a voice.”

It's not democracy if ballots are getting thrown out or if voters are left in the dark.

With mail voting under threat and turnout dropping, CA must invest in trusted, community-led voter outreach.

Protect every vote, engage every voter because our democracy depends on it.

War in Iran is boosting profits for oil and defense companies as US gas prices soar As Americans struggle with rising prices, Lockheed Martin, Shell and other companies are experiencing gains

Do not be deceived. While the American people suffer over higher gas prices due to the Iran War, Big Oil continues to get richer. War for them equals profit. Big Oil has and always will lie and deceive the public for it's own profitable gains.

Firefighters contain Southern California brush fires fueled by Santa Ana winds The Riverside County Springs fire, fueled by strong Santa Ana winds up to 50 mph on Friday, did not grow overnight.

As summer approaches and the heat rises, there is a harsh reminder to us all. Climate change is here. These disasters are becoming more frequent and more deadly. We must be prepared and start holding big polluters accountable for the mess they have made.

As Gas Prices Spike, California Is Hit Hardest A gallon has climbed to nearly $6 in the state, about $2 above the national average.

California’s climate policies did not change last week. Big Oil ignores basic economics. When 20% of the global supply is threatened, prices rise everywhere, including California. Global oil markets are solely responsible.

A Growing Concern: Cap-and-Invest to Undermine Refineries, Raise Fuel Costs | Extracting Fact Some Assembly Democrats say CARB’s new regulations will “further disincentivize in-state refineries to remain in California.”

Chevron is throwing empty threats. Bottom line, threatening to leave California is a pressure tactic on policymakers. Chevron is not walking away from one of the largest and most profitable fuel markets in the country.
