"Rolling back vehicle emission safeguards harms our health, our wallets and our climate. We will fight him at every turn of the road." - @katherinejulia in @nytimes nytimes.com/2025/01/21/bus…

Los Angeles is burning. Fossil fuel companies laid the kindling. Soon the world will stop caring. If we don't demand better from the rich & powerful who can do more than anyone to slow the climate crisis, the fires will change nothing. My @latimes column: latimes.com/environment/ne…

The @EPA must approve CA's In-Use Locomotive regulation. With 13M+ Americans living near railyards and lines, electrifying our rail system isn't just an environmental issue—it's a matter of life and death for frontline communities. @WhiteHouse @The_MFN sierraclub.org/articles/2025/…

“Next time you look out on the horizon and see the brown haze that pollutes the L.A. air for much of the year, remember that Southern California could be experiencing clearer skies, fewer cancer cases, less asthma and longer lives.” latimes.com/opinion/story/…

With each truck that rumbles through our communities, families are exposed to unsafe levels of diesel soot and tailpipe pollution. nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/11/06/opi…

#AQMDChatter - lots of folks came out today frustrated by lack of progress on adopting a port regulation. Very powerful. #WeAreJustTryingToBreathe

Today I am in Diamond Bar with @SierraClub to remind @SouthCoastAQMD that they have an obligation to directly regulate port emissions and clean up deadly pollution. It's time to listen to the community and hold polluters accountable to reducing emissions.

@RepBarragan @EPA @PortofLA I appreciate your leadership for clean ports, clean air, and more green jobs!

GREAT NEWS!!   I secured $411 MILLION from @EPA for @PortofLA to transition to zero-emission, non-automated equipment!    Proud that this Biden-Harris Administration program is based on my Climate Smart Ports Act, which we got funded in the Inflation Reduction Act.    Today is a huge step forward for our ports & the health of port communities.    #CleanPortsProgram #EnvironmentalJustice

⛴️@EPA will award $3B for clean ports. “Ports are the economic backbone of our country, providing the goods necessary for our daily lives. These investments will reduce emissions from ships, trucks, trains & non-road equipment, providing vast benefits." sierraclub.org/press-releases…

@VolvoTrucksNA & @DaimlerTruck: The Dr. Jekyll of zero emission trucks at global conferences, but Mr. Hyde blocking climate action in the U.S. It’s time to stop the double talk. Let’s demand real action on zero-emission trucks!

❗Port of Long Beach had a record-breaking September w/ more cargo moving than ever before. Cargo & profits continue to rise causing more dangerous pollution. @SouthCoastAQMD, @MayorOfLA & @LongBeachMayor don’t delay a #StrongISR for ports. freightwaves.com/news/port-of-l…

The Warehouse ISR is already reducing emissions and dangerous pollution in communities. I am calling in today to remind @SouthCoastAQMD that they have an obligation to save lives and clean up our air with a #StrongISR for ports. @LongBeachMayor & @MayorOfLA

📷@OregonDEQ announced that they’re delaying a life-saving diesel pollution rule. Truck maker have been lobbying for years to fight clean truck rules, and now they’re delaying years of clean air benefits for OR. oregonlive.com/environment/20…

New #DirtyTruth @SierraClub report in @CanaryMediaInc The nation's largest utilities have wasted too much time lagging on clean energy. Read more 👇 canarymedia.com/articles/fossi…

📷@SouthCoastAQMD — there’s been nearly no healthy air days for months. Another heatwave just means even more polluted air. We need urgent action to clean up the biggest polluters with a #StrongISR for ports. @LongBeachMayor & @MayorOfLA latimes.com/california/sto…

Wowowow cbsnews.com/amp/news/supre…

Moving piece about people power

Southern California’s port traffic is growing and without a #PortISR, port pollution will continue to get worse. @SouthCoastAQMD: it’s time to act. earthjustice.org/experts/fernan…
