Hey California:
Are you ready to go big and win big on divestment in 2023? Join us! >>> fossilfreeca.org
And thank you @SenGonzalez33 for your leadership in introducing this bill!
#SB252 #Divest #InvestYourValues
Today @SenGonzalez33 introduced #SB252, which will require @CalPERS and @CalSTRS to divest the $11 Billion they have invested in oil and gas companies. Proud to be partnering with @FossilFreeCA and @CFA_United on this important legislation!
🚨BREAKING🚨7 community members were arrested today for operating a solar panel in front of @Bellwetherdst's oil tank farms. This comes after Hilco promised a "sustainable redevelopment in 2019" and the city approved permits to keep the tanks open earlier this week 😠
If @Bellwetherdst won't decommission the cancer emitting tanks we will do it ourselves! We won't rest until Hilco deconstructs them and cleans up all of the lead and harmful chemicals in the soil underneath them. Homes of working families are just miles away. Take the oil away!
If @HilcoGlobal won't decommission the cancer emitting tanks we will do it ourselves! We will not rest until Hilco deconstructs them and cleans up all of the lead and harmful chemicals in the soil underneath them. Homes of working families are just miles away. Take the oil away!
On 10/19 we blocked off the main entrance of @HilcoGlobal's site in South Philly. They want to keep poisoning our community with cancerous benzene and fossil fuels. Until they meet our demands of a safe, green, just redevelopment we won't let them keep working in peace.
On 10/15 we played baseball on @HilcoGlobal's abandoned field in South Philly. We know how to take care of our land and put it to good use for the community. Hilco needs to step up, create public programs for kids, and give vacant land to the community
FUN FACT: @HilcoGlobal has never held an in person community meeting to discuss their plans to build warehouses on our doorsteps. They were supposed to on 9/20 so we went to their office a few days earlier to help them be transparent 🫧 Then the canceled and called us violent.
UPDATE: For 150 years, owners of the Philadelphia PES oil refinery gave city residents cancer and asthma. In 2019 the plant blew up so we took action to shut it down for good. But now the new owners
@HilcoGlobal
want to keep poisoning working families. NOT ON OUR WATCH!🧵
@HilcoGlobal promised a "sustainable redevelopment" as they demolished the old Oil refinery. Then they requested to build a new fracked gas pipeline with the city and renewed permits to keep the💀cancerous benzene emitting 💀 oil tank farms open.

How to do a media interview while being carried away by police for protest. 10/10, no notes.

By land, sea, and air - we won't let @Chase run from the truth that they spend billions profiting from #FossilFuels and the #ClimateCrisis.
We got a lot of cheers from thousands of runners at the #JPMCC race in #SanFrancisco tonight as we demand Chase stops funding #BigOil
Shout out to all the EJ groups and communities that taught us to dream in green jobs, safe homes, clean air and bright futures.
We believe in a world that doesn't sacrifice low-income, rural, Black and brown communities

BREAKING: 150 people are rallying at the Congressional baseball game, peacefully calling on Congress to seal the deal on a clean energy bill and for President Biden to declare a climate emergency.
👏👏👏
Today I represented @sunrisemvmt alongside frontline leaders and leading members of Congress to demand that @POTUS declare a Climate Emergency. Our communities can’t wait.

New: As heatwaves and floods spiral across the US, Mr. Schumer is quiet.
So here’s a little ditty in the @NewYorker about how he arrested six of us ID’d staffers peacefully sitting on a couch instead of talking about or renegotiating climate policy.
