Sign SB 674

As a California resident, I urge you to enact SB 674 in order to end a longstanding injustice and give California’s frontline communities living near refineries the vital information and basic protections they need to protect their health and safety.
As California advances towards our goal to transition away from fossil fuels in our lifetime, it is even more important that regulators effectively monitor archaic facilities like refineries and provide essential safeguards to protect the health and safety of the overburdened communities living nearby.
SB 674, a common-sense bill that will provide California’s fenceline communities with transparency into the toxic pollution entering their neighborhoods and the basic protections they deserve and are legally entitled to. SB 674 will improve emissions monitoring, and provide fenceline communities with life-saving data and notifications about health-harming emissions.
I implore you to demonstrate your commitment to environmental justice and holding the oil industry accountable by signing SB 674 into law.
