Here are two important actions you can take to promote climate justice in California, and both of them check our alleged climate hero, Governor Jerry Brown. The first is adding your name to a petition urging him to show real climate leadership before he leaves office by stopping new fossil fuel projects, phasing out oil and gas production, and ensuring a just transition for workers and communities. The second action is voting NO on PROP 70, a ballot measure that would essentially stop the flow of climate funding to vulnerable communities. This proposition is a direct result of Brown’s cynical political maneuvering to get his cap-and-trade extension passed.
