3/ Residents in Martinez City see higher cancer and heart disease rates than the rest of Contra Costa County. And in neighboring Richmond, 25% of residents have asthma—double the CA average. Health should not be the cost of petrochemical profits #NoSacrificeZones 📷 @fuzyjoe.bsky.social

Rally in DC to tell President Biden to #StopWillow!

Join us on March 3rd at 4 pm in Lafayette Square to tell President Biden he must #StopWillow before it's too late! On Feb. 1st, the Biden administration took another step towards approving the Willow Master Development Project – a massive oil drilling development in Alaska’s western Arctic that threatens local communities and wildlife, and the global climate. President Biden promised to deliver on climate – but ConocoPhillips’ dirty and dangerous Willow project would irreversibly take us backward. Willow would emit 278 million metric tons of climate pollution over the next 30 years. That’s equivalent to the annual emissions from 74 coal plants — one-third of all remaining U.S. plants. Extracting millions of barrels of oil in Alaska would only increase temperatures in a region that’s already warming four times faster than the rest of the world. Willow will disproportionately impact the community of Nuiqsut, a predominantly Iñupiaq village of about 500 people already experiencing extreme pollution from existing oil projects. The Biden administration is expected to issue its final decision on the project as soon as March 6th. That means we still have time to pressure Biden and his Department of Interior to deny this dangerous project, #StopWillow, and prevent this climate bomb!

If you’re in town, consider attending this month’s public hearing. No to gas! #NoGasNoCoalNoOil #NoSacrificeZones
East Boston substation gets a ‘tentative’ go-ahead to bypass state and local environmental permits | WBUR News

The Energy Facilities Siting Board tentatively decided to give Eversource a special permit that will allow it to bypass the 14 remaining state and local permits the project still needs.
