This fall, the Governor of California said yes to #healthyhoods and signed four climate justice bills into laws. That’s four incredible reasons to dance.
With these victories, we’re transforming our communities into #healthyhoods by:
- Fighting climate change
With SB-32, we set an unprecedented goal for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in California – 40 percent below 1990 levels.
- Better air quality and transparent leadership
With AB-197, we increased transparency for the California Air Resources Board and required it to publish more data about air pollution.
- Creating #healthyhoods
With AB-1550, we put our neighborhoods first in line to receive more funding to become healthy, thriving communities.
- Planning for environmental justice
With SB-1000, all general plans must prioritize communities hit first and worst by climate change.
Celebrate justice
We’re proud of our community leaders and our partners at the California Environmental Justice Alliance who mobilize and empower our communities throughout California. These statewide victories prove that when we raise our voices together, we can create lasting change for justice.
