Environmental Justice Communities Win BIG!
(Full post)📢Environmental Justice has WON! ✊🏾 We defeated Big Oil’s attempt to overturn SB 1137, the law that would create 3,200 ft setbacks between sensitive community receptors and oil drilling sites. ⛑
📌On June 26th, 2024, Californians for Energy Independence pulled their referendum seeking to overturn SB1137 in the November 2024 election!
This is the result of decades of organizing to protect our neighborhoods and communities in solidarity with CEJA, CEJA Action, Working Families for a Healthy California, CRPE, PSR-LA, APEN Action, Black Women for Wellness Action, VISION, CCEJN, and the Central California Asthma Collaborative.
🔥SB1137 will now immediately go into effect to protect the health and safety of working families living within the 3,200 feet of oil and gas drilling. A future where Wilmington will be free of neighborhood oil drilling is within reach! 🔥🥺
Our communities are thankful for the partnership of Senators Lena González, Monique Limón, and Assemblymember Issac Bryan for upholding these crucial safeguards
Please join us in celebrating this amazing victory by donating to CBE today so that our communities can continue to fight for clean air, water, and healthy places to live. Donate at cbecal.org/donate 😊

“New Usc Poll Shows 71% Support To Keep Historic Law Preventing Toxic Oil Drilling Near Schools, Hospitals And Neighborhoods” February, 2, 2024
Survey Shows Strong Backing Across Age, Race and Gender
SACRAMENTO, Calif. , Feb. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today the Campaign for a Safe and Healthy California (CSHC) shared newly released survey results from the University of Southern California Dornsife showing support to “KEEP THE LAW” (SB 1137) against toxic drilling in neighborhoods at 71% of likely voters.
“Voters know that Big Oil is trying to overturn a historic public safety law that would protect our communities from toxic drilling, and they will overwhelmingly vote to KEEP THE LAW,” said Darryl Molina Sarmiento, executive director of Communities for a Better Environment, a co-founding coalition member of Standing Together Against Neighborhood Drilling L.A. and the Campaign for a Safe and Healthy California. “Our broad and diverse coalition, including youth and working families living next to neighborhood oil drilling, will work every day until the election to ensure that voters have the information they need to protect the health and safety of our communities and keep the law that establishes a 3,200 foot buffer zone from homes, schools and hospitals in place.”
