Oil Money Out - People Power In: March + Rally

SEE EVENT DETAILS
at The Governor’s Mansion (see times)
In the past year, the oil industry spent an historic 36.1 million dollars to lobby California lawmakers. This is particularly significant as during this time, the state of California performed independent studies which had notable findings on the toxicity of oil operations and made strong recommendations to protect public health, none of which have been implemented or addressed, leaving the general public vulnerable to contamination and toxic exposure.

As guardians of the public trust, the lack of action from our governor and our legislators our to protect the public is unacceptable. We're mobilizing a major march and rally to take place in Sacramento at the Governor's Mansion on May 20. We're rallying because the oil industry has captured our democracy, and we're going to take it back!

Until oil money stops poisoning our democracy, the people of the state of California will continue to be poisoned by industry practices. California’s political leaders need to make their primary allegiance clear: is it to the oil industry or the health and safety of their constituents? The days of having it both ways have to come to an end.

We will force enough state elected officials to stop taking these toxic dollars and prioritize public health over oil the interests of the industry, and finally break the logjam in Sacramento and put an end to the most toxic industry practices.

There will be buses leaving from the Bay area. Shoot us an email to get on one!
