A strong El Niño is headed for California — possibly a record-breaker. 🌊 Warmer coastal waters can mean seabird die-offs, kelp forest collapse, toxic algal blooms, and bigger storms. Climate change makes it all worse. Now is no time to weaken California’s climate protections: https://bit.ly/4y4AkGT

~600,000 Californians still lack reliable, safe drinking water. 💧 The carbon-market overhaul could gut the funding meant to fix that as soon as 2027, putting communities like Allensworth and schools like Hope Elementary at risk. Clean water is a promise California must keep: https://bit.ly/4gb0wZT

CA regulators voted to hand oil refineries BILLIONS in free pollution permits. 🛢️ The result? Climate funding could be cut in half — gutting money for affordable housing, transit, and clean water. Toxic polluters get the gift. Taxpayers get the bill. Let's Make Polluters Pay: https://bit.ly/4vGC2wz

This Juneteenth, we celebrate Black freedom and resilience — and recommit to environmental justice. For generations, Black communities have borne the heaviest burden of fossil fuel pollution. A clean and healthy California means clean air and safe water for everyone.

Chevron and WSPA are responsible for $8 million of Big Oil’s record total $10.3 million lobbying blitz for Q1 2026. That’s right. Big Oil continues to rake in record profits, while communities bear the brunt of the costs. https://bit.ly/3POXZtv

33.5 million children — 46% of America's kids — live in areas with failing grades for air pollution. People of color are more than 2x as likely to live in the most polluted communities. Latinos are more than 3x as likely. https://bit.ly/49KEbhA

An infographic states, "46% of America's children—33.5 million kids—live in areas with failing grades for air pollution." It includes images of industrial pollution and traffic emissions. A large red "F" is overlaid on the lower image. The source is the American Lung Association, State of the Air 2026 report.

The image contains two sections: The top section shows a group of children, with the text stating, "People of color are more than twice as likely to live in the most polluted communities." The bottom section shows a person cooking with children, accompanied by the text, "Latinos are more than three times as likely."

The bottom text mentions, "Climate leaders share what keeps them going. Here's what they said." The background features a forest scene with abstract decorations like hearts, stars, and flowers.

A person with glasses stands in front of green foliage, smiling at the camera. The image includes a quote from Emily Graslie, a science communicator: "Find like-minded people and communities that leave you feeling inspired, not tired. Working in the climate/environment space can be emotionally draining, so it's imperative to surround yourself with those who share your passion and can support you fundamentally as a person." Decorative heart graphics are in the bottom right corner.

A decorative poster features a quote about nature's importance. The background has earthy tones with leaf patterns.

Between 1980 and 2024, California faced 46 extreme weather events. "Every flood repair, every emergency response, every infrastructure fix comes out of city budgets — money that could go elsewhere." The Polluters Pay Climate Superfund fixes that. https://bit.ly/4uXl3VJ

Image shows a scenic coastal town with hills and houses.

BREAKING‼️ Big Oil spent a whopping $10.3 million in Q1 of 2026, and Chevron and WSPA were — unsurprisingly — top spenders. They’re making record profits and making us pay at every level, with our health and at the gas pump. https://bit.ly/3POXZtv

Since 2021, global climate news coverage has dropped 38%. But 74% of Americans still want stronger climate action. The public isn't asleep; the coverage just isn't reflecting them. That's why we're here. Read more: https://grist.org/language/global-heating-climate-news-drought-chaos/

The image features text reading, "The planet is overheating. The news is looking away." Below, it states, "Since 2021, global climate coverage has dropped an alarming 38%." The source is cited as the University of Colorado Boulder. The background includes blurred images and colorful horizontal bars at the bottom.

5 companies control 98% of California's refining capacity. That kind of market concentration can keep gas prices high long after disruptions cause a spike. We need more accountability for Big Oil, not less.

Big Oil wants you to think weakening climate policies will save you money at the pump. It won't.

The image shows a pie chart with the title "5 Companies Control 98% of California's Refining Capacity." It highlights a message about monopoly with logos of PBF Energy, Chevron, Marathon, Valero, and Phillips 66 around it. A yellow section occupies most of the pie chart. The background features an oil refinery.

A poster with the text: "The answer: Double down on clean energy. Break Big Oil's grip on California's fuel supply." Wind turbines and solar panels are visible in the background.

A digitally edited image features a President Trump with two smaller images of the same individual on either side. Text on the image reads: "‘Drill Baby Drill’ was always a lie to enrich Trump’s big oil donors—not a strategy to keep prices low, because oil is a global good with a global price." The quote is attributed to Governor Newsom.

Let’s be clear: Big Oil has the money to pay for climate damages. Creating a climate superfund would only cost polluters 3.5% of their profits. It’s not much to them, but the resulting funds would be transformative for California. Download the fact sheet: https://bit.ly/4s7BxJU

@governor.ca.gov Newsom and @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov are using every tool available to fight back against Trump’s latest federal overreach, this time to force the restart of a defective oil pipeline on the Santa Barbara Coast. We stand with them.

This is about more than one pipeline. It’s about whether states can still protect their own coastlines, their own communities, their own economies. Or whether whatever Trump says, goes. @governor.ca.gov Newsom and @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov are leading California to fight back.

"Our Coast. Our Laws."

California leaders are defending the state's right to protect our environment.
