A great start to the day! 25+ neighbors showed up to a pop-up rally outside the Murphy Drill Site to protest the oil company's scheduled acid work less than 1000' from 3 schools serving 1,300 students. The work was canceled. #EndNeighborhoodDrilling
🚫 New polling shows 71% of Californian likely voters support stopping neighborhood oil drilling.
Let’s protect communities from health impacts of oil extraction and ensure a stable climate future generations. #EndNeighborhoodDrilling
@RedeemerCP organizing reaches a milestone as LA orders the Murphy Drill Site to be enclosed & electrified. These health protections were given to wealthier, West LA neighborhoods 20+ years ago. THANK YOU @Planning4LA @CityAttorneyLA @MayorOfLA!
#EndNeighborhoodDrilling
LOL! Oil company lawsuit says "the city failed to do a required environmental study of the effects of stopping oil extraction." 🤔

LA sets the stage to end neighborhood oil drilling citywide! Years of organizing by our @STAND_LA coalition partners in South LA and Wilmington made this possible. When front line communities lead, the entire city benefits.

Study finds toxic trespass into the bodies of residents living <1km from oil site. Elevated levels of toxic metals associated w/oil extraction are linked to Parkinson’s, lung cancer, CVD, & type 2 diabetes. #EndNeighborhoodDrilling

Demolition of the Jefferson Drill Site in our South LA neighborhood reminds us that faith the size of a mustard seed, love for one's community, and collective action can move mountains. #EndNeighborhoodDrilling @RedeemerCP @STAND_LA
BREAKING: LA City Budget & Finance Comm. advances motion to declare oil extraction a nonconforming land use immediately city-wide! Grateful for leadership by @PaulKrekorian & members @BobBlumenfield @Kdeleon @CurrenDPriceJr. Onward to City Council!

@KCRW SHINES A LIGHT ON THE MURPHY DRILL SITE
Don Martin shares the tragic toll neighborhood oil drilling has taken on his family. His LA story is not unique. Excellent reporting by @kcrw @benjamin_max #EndNeighborhoodDrilling

Oil companies use radioactive materials for well testing. The CHP determined that this truck that transported & deployed radioactive isotopes in our South LA neighborhood had been illegal for roadway use for 12+ years. #EndNeighborhoodDrilling

Demolition permits on the Jefferson Oil Drill Site's front gate! One more milestone in the @RedeemerCP campaign to #EndNeighborhoodDrilling and build a healthy, sustainable community in South LA. We are grateful for our partners @Earthjustice @LibertyHill @STAND_LA

Yesterday in LA. Another routine oil spill.
Join @STAND_LA and @RedeemerCP in working to #EndNeighborhoodDrilling in South LA. RSVP for the March 25, 6PM Virtual Townhall & Toxic Tour at http://tiny.one/townhall
It is not just @LAFD. Systemic racism is so entrenched into the City’s regulatory oversight that even the most basic and essential regulatory rules don’t seem to apply to South LA communities. #EndNeighborhoodDrilling

On 3/25 at 6PM we will meet w/ @LACityCouncil members to discuss a citywide phase-out of oil drilling. Big Oil has had its vice grip on LA Black & Brown communities for far too long. RSVP at http://tiny.one/townhall Let's #EndNeighborhoodDrilling.
#NoDrillingWhereWereLiving
"FATAL IF INHALED" | With the blessing of @ArchbishopGomez, the oil company ordered something to share with everyone living around the Murphy Drill Site: SCAVTREAT 6806.
Why do @lacatholics allow this on church property?

#ProtectPeopleNotPolluters
How to #EndNeighborhoodDrilling 1-2-3:
1) declare oil & gas extraction a non-conforming land use
2) start amortization studies to expedite the phase-out
3) make oil co's pay costs (e.g. barrel tax, fees, & fines)
@CD6Nury will you protect our families from toxic oil extraction?
#tbt In 2016 South LA youth sued LA City for its disparate treatment of frontline communities. Their hard work made oil permitting more transparent and marked an important step in our march for social and environmental justice. #EndNeighborhoodDrilling
We asked the LA City Council District 10 candidates @mridleythomas and @GraceYooCD10 for their views on neighborhood oil drilling and active transportation. Here are their answers. http://tiny.cc/CD10

NO warning & NO disclosure for South LA residents as 10,000 gallons of toxic acid go down well next to homes. @SouthCoastAQMD staff arbitrarily exempt oil companies from notification & chemical disclosure Rule 1148.2 when acidizing "injection" wells. #EndNeighborhoodDrilling
The Oil Industry refers to its neighborhood flares as "Clean Efficient Burners" or CEBs. #YesonAB345 sifts leaders from the politicians who protect corporate wealth with public health. #EndNeighborhoodDrilling....
With LA County leading the U.S in COVID-19 cases, we can't allow Big Oil to keep robbing residents of life. We call upon @CityAttorneyLA @Mike_Feuer to release the legal analysis for a 2500ft buffer between our homes and oil wells. #EndNeighborhoodDrilling #EndDependence
Thank you to over 45 individuals in our immediate network who contributed personalized letters and signed petitions asking #CalGEM and our governor to prioritize community health over corporate wealth. #nodrillingwherewereliving #endneighborhooddrilling
@RedeemerCP's @NikiJWong documented a neighborhood oil Co. spraying Chemco Odor Control Jasmine into the air--a toxic cocktail laced with a chemical that disrupts reproductive health--to hide a toxic gas. @KateWheeling @ozm reports https://bit.ly/2OAOjzX #EndNeighborhoodDrilling
Nov is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, and we stand with the families living near drilling sites who have lost loved ones to lung cancer like the Jefferson Site. Oil drilling is fundamentally incompatible with a healthy neighborhood. #endneighborhooddrilling #lungcancerawareness

The beginning of the end. Sound barriers go up as Sentinel Peak Resources prepares to close and cleanup the Jefferson Oil Drilling Site in South LA. Generations of children will sleep safer and healthier. Let's #EndNeighborhoodDrilling #GetOilOut @RedeemerCP
