Protect affordable EV charging access before April 21: Call your Assemblymembers & ask them to OPPOSE AB 2748

AB 2748 would result in an unfair burden upon low-income households living in new affordable housing developments that are interested in owning an EV & disincentivize the purchase of an EV.

Opinion | Small California communities deserve protection from big polluting manufacturers Lawmakers passed exemptions for advanced manufacturing in CEQA, the state’s main environmental law. Now they should plug some of those holes.

❗Eliminating or severely curtailing #CEQA review strips communities like ours of opportunities to challenge polluting projects proposed for our neighborhoods.” Community leaders in #TulareCounty call on @governor.ca.gov & legislative leaders to #FixSB131.

Martinez refinery is being held accountable for years of reckless behavior, including the 2022 spent catalyst release that sent ash pouring over the community. Martinez residents deserve to live in a community with clean air.

LA Wildfire Survivors Want to Rebuild All-Electric, but a Utility Is Using Customer Funds to Incentivize Gas Appliances - Inside Climate News California’s utility regulator said it would eliminate ratepayer-funded incentives for gas appliances in new construction, but created an exception that allows rebates for them in wildfire rebuilds.

Communities rebuilding from the LA wildfires a chance to rebuild safer & cleaner—all-electric. But the @californiapuc.bsky.social is actively undermining that opportunity by allowing SoCalGas to use ratepayer funds to push gas. It's time to close this loophole.

As Feleecia Guillen from @ips-dc.org New Mexico told CapRadio, she didn’t know much about Newsom until he took the national stage to stand up to Trump—and as a younger voter, she hopes he’ll show the same courage against Big Oil.
