(Full Event Details) The STAND-LA Coalition has a number of exciting opportunities coming up to engage in the campaign to end neighborhood oil drilling throughout the City of Los Angeles!

Join us on March 27th at 5:30 PM for a webinar entitled “From Smoke to Solutions: Neighborhood Oil Drilling and Climate Disasters in LA”. Participants will learn about the issue of neighborhood oil drilling, the connection between local oil drilling and the recent LA wildfires, and about what the LA City Council can do this year to end this toxic practice!

The panel of experts includes:

• Ashley Hernandez – Youth Organizer at Communities for a Better Environment
• Maya Golden-Krasner: Deputy Director and Senior Attorney at the Climate Law Institute, Center for Biological Diversity
• Bhavna Shamasunder – Professor & Mellichamp Chair at UC Santa Barbara
• Moderated by Rabeya Sen – Director of Policy at Esperanza Community Housing

You can register for the webinar here or at bit.ly/STANDwebinar!

In the meantime, please sign our petition calling for the LA City Council to end neighborhood oil drilling in the City of Los Angeles and re-pass the phaseout ordinance that was struck down by a judge last year!

(Full Event Details) Join Communities for a Better Environment & CBE Action for our February statewide meeting to honor Black EJ leaders who have been at the forefront of environmental justice movements. We will share their stories of combatting environmental racism and the unequal vulnerabilities they face – pollution, unsafe drinking water and toxic land –  while also paving the way to safety and liberation.

We’ll also share updates from Oakland’s upcoming special election season and explore ways to apply lessons to municipal races statewide, while focusing on engaging communities most impacted by environmental issues to make sure our leaders are accountable and trustworthy.

Finally, hear from past Congreso participants who lobbied in Sacramento for Environmental Justice and learn how you can join this year! It’s never too late to start planning for a trip to visit our state capital and make your voices heard. Together, in Sacramento, we will push for progressive legislation that will improve the quality of our lives and take strides towards a Just Transition.

RSVP here to join.

📣CALL TO ACTION: Tell LADWP No Hydrogen Combustion in LA!
LADWP plans to burn a mix of gas and hydrogen at the Scattergood Power Plant in El Segundo: a risky, expensive, and harmful project that:

• Prolongs the life of gas plants in the LA Basin 

• Worsens air quality with NOx emissions

• Diverts $800M from real clean energy solutions

We need your voice! Join CBE and allies to oppose hydrogen combustion and demand real clean energy alternatives.
🗓 When: Wednesday, November 20th @ 7 PM
