Hear from local leaders who are using land use laws and other policy tools to say no to oil and gas expansion — and yes to community health and safety, a just transition to renewable energy, a green recovery, and a livable climate. And learn how the Stand.earth SAFE Cities program is helping to build these victories into a powerful coordinated movement of local leaders keeping their communities safe from fossil fuels and accelerating a clean energy future.
