29/ Next, the board hears from Martha Dina Arguello of CARB’s Environmental Justice Advisory Committee, who strongly opposes the proposed changes. “What’s in front of you is not a minor modification … it is a multibillion dollar decision that deserves a fuller process.”

27/ Marie Choi with @apen4ej: “Our communities breathe the results of your decisions… and let’s be clear, these companies don’t need another handout.” Proposed changes would centralize pollution in refinery communities – meaning more asthma, cancer, and death.

@SenEloiseReyes @guardian @AirDistrict @SouthCoastAQMD @rideact @metrolosangeles @fresnobus @CBE_Action @Earthjustice @AirResources @SFBART @cejaaction @NextGen_Policy @calhsng 25/ “You can’t talk about climate change without talking about water access, and you can’t have a healthy quality of life without water access,” says a representative of @CCEJN. Right now, @AirResources are considering cutting funding for clean water - and handing it to Big Oil.

32/ Next, the decision rests with @AirResources who will vote on the proposed changes tomorrow. Will @CAgovernor's regulators cave to Big Oil? Or will they reject the proposal and invest in housing, transit, and clean air and water? Tune in: ww2.arb.ca.gov/ma052826

31/ Hundreds of people have delivered public comments already – the vast majority opposed to this proposal. From transit riders to refinery communities to affordable housing advocates, people across the state are standing up to say NO to handouts for Big Oil.

TODAY, the Campaign for Healthier Solutions brings community voices to the Dollar General shareholder meeting. It’s time for @DollarGeneral to buckle down and show consistent commitment to improving their chemical policy and stocking local, healthy food.

This is depraved. This is not normal.

Today, EPA issued a suite of final rules that will significantly reduce toxic air pollution from chemical plants and will reduce both ethylene oxide (EtO) and chloroprene emissions from covered processes and equipment by nearly 80 percent. 🧵
