Governor Newsome has proposed a plan that will help more Californians afford new and used electric vehicles — because they deliver real savings. Bold solutions, like cutting our costly reliance on gasoline, can lower transportation costs and make our lives more affordable. For many Californians, transportation is one of the largest household expenses, and electric vehicles can help families keep more money in their pockets. That’s why we’re supporting the Governor’s plan to help more Californians afford EVs! Take Action HERE.

Lead poses a serious poisoning threat to people, wildlife, and the environment — but this dangerous heavy metal is still allowed in hunting ammo and fishing tackle, including ammo used in many national wildlife refuges throughout the United States. Thanks to an agreement between the Center for Biological Diversity and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in 2023 the agency finalized a rule banning lead ammo and tackle use in nine more national wildlife refuges, including Rachel Carson in Maine and Blackwater in Maryland. Now the Trump administration has proposed repealing the ban — mere months before it’s supposed to take effect in September. Tell the Service to keep the lead out of national wildlife refuges HERE.

Deadly cyanide bombs are a brutal way to kill unwanted wildlife, and they absolutely don't belong where people live, hike and play. But right now, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is once again allowing cyanide bombs on the millions of acres of public lands they manage. In 2017, an Idaho boy and his dog were exploring near their home when he noticed something that looked like a sprinkler head on the ground. But it was a cyanide bomb. When he touched it, the device exploded in a cloud of deadly sodium cyanide. The boy was rushed to the hospital. His yellow lab was dead in minutes. The device was planted by government wildlife managers to kill predators, but a child paid the price. Once a cyanide bomb is placed, there's no way to control what -- or who -- will fall victim. Tell the BLM: No deadly cyanide bombs on public lands. Act HERE.

The Trump administration has proposed opening federal waters along the entire California coastline to new offshore oil drilling. While state law blocks the approval of new infrastructure to support these federal operations, a loophole remains: oil companies could tap existing aging pipelines — like how Sable Offshore has restarted the pipeline that caused the 2015 Refugio oil spill — to support new federal drilling. AB 1448 (Hart) is a proposed state bill would close that loophole for good. The bill prohibits existing infrastructure from being used to support new federal offshore development and requires stronger environmental and safety review before any lease renewals or transfers. Take ACTION!

For over a year, the timber industry has been pushing the Fix Our Forests Act -- a bill with provisions designed to fast-track huge logging projects and strip away environmental protections.1 Thanks to people like you speaking up, we've successfully held them off. But the timber industry isn't giving up. They're just changing tactics. Pro-logging members of Congress have added the worst parts of the Fix Our Forests Act to the Farm Bill. And it just passed the U.S. House. Tell our U.S. senators to oppose slipping unchecked logging into the Farm Bill. Act HERE.

Estuaries, the coastal areas where rivers meet the ocean, are critically important for shorebirds and seabirds. Many of these special places along America's coasts are supported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's National Estuary Program, which strengthens local community-led restoration of vital coastal habitat. This successful bipartisan program is nearing its expiration date—but steps are being taken by Congress to reauthorize and expand it with the ESTUARIES (Enhancing Science, Treatment, and Upkeep of America's Resilient and Important Estuarine Systems) Act. Urge your U.S. Senators to support the National Estuary Program HERE.

The DSGS program is the cheapest, cleanest and most reliable energy resilience solution that we have, and is one of the world’s largest networks of residential clean energy technologies. DSGS is a broad term for programs that pay consumers to reduce electricity usage or provide power during high-stress times to support the grid. This involves coordinating the clean energy resources that are already dispersed throughout our communities, such as home batteries, smart thermostats, electric cars and electric car chargers to reduce demand or supply energy when the grid is strained. Please tell your state legislators to support restored 2026 funding HERE.

The world’s top scientists agree that reducing GHG emissions is not enough to avoid a climate catastrophe. To defend against this crisis, we must also remove greenhouse gases currently in the atmosphere. The bipartisan ReSCUE Oceans Act is a critical piece of legislation that will establish a plan to fund and carry out safe and effective research on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). Our ocean already absorbs about a third of manmade carbon dioxide emissions. The growing field of mCDR aims to enhance this natural process but must proceed in safe, transparent and science-backed ways. By advocating for oversight and research into science-based innovations like mCDR, you can help unlock the power of safe, proven ocean climate solutions. Urge Congress to support the bipartisan ReSCUE Oceans Act HERE.

Whales are dying at alarming rates along the West Coast. Dozens have been found dead off California, Oregon, and Washington in recent weeks, and the count is still rising. According to a new study focusing on the San Francisco Bay, nearly 1 in every 5 gray whales entering the bay dies — and more than 40% of the time, ship strikes are the cause. Limiting vessel speeds in key whale habitat to below 10 knots (roughly 11.5 miles per hour) is a tried-and-true way to reduce tragic whale deaths and injuries, especially for mothers and calves, who are at greater risk from ships because they spend a lot of time near the ocean's surface. Join the call for whale-safe ship speeds: Urge NOAA Fisheries and the U.S. Coast Guard to require vessel speed limits where whales are most likely to be. Act HERE.

As climate disasters like floods, fires, and hurricanes intensify, Big Oil companies are lobbying Congress for blanket immunity from any laws or lawsuits that could hold them accountable for fueling the crisis. Join us in urging Congress to reject Big Oil’s call for immunity and to protect our right to hold fossil fuel companies accountable. Big Oil companies knew decades ago that their fossil fuel products could cause “catastrophic” consequences, but they lied to the public to protect their profits. Big Oil is turning to its allies in the Trump administration and Congress to try and secure an industry-wide “liability waiver” that could help them escape accountability and take away our right to make corporations pay when they cause harm. Speak up HERE.

The Administration's rush to mine Black Hills uranium destroys people and the sacred. The Lakota people never consented to uranium extraction from treaty land. We’ve fought it for over 20 years and we’re still fighting. Tell Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum directly. We need him to reverse the Pe’ Sla drilling permit, pull Dewey-Burdock uranium project (50 miles from Pine Ridge, in the aquifer above our reservation) off the fast-track program, and suspend all extractive permits on treaty lands until real consultation and a full environmental review are done. It’s fast and easy to make all three demands in one customizable message to Burgum online HERE.

Last month, Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) yielded to industry pressure and proposed a rule rolling back critical public health protections finalized in 2024 for ethylene oxide emissions from commercial sterilizer facilities. Many facilities were working toward compliance with the regulations, but this proposal would let them off the hook. Ethylene oxide is a colorless, typically odorless, flammable gas used to sterilize some medical equipment and spices. Ethylene oxide is also an aggressive carcinogen, especially when inhaled. Long-term exposure can damage the nervous system and increases people’s risk of developing cancer. Children are particularly sensitive to ethylene oxide’s harmful effects because the chemical remains in their bodies longer than it does in adults. Public comment period open until May 1. Speak out NOW.

What if the fresh produce you bought was contaminated by “forever chemicals”? New testing by the California Department of Pesticide Regulation found that 37% of samples of non-organic produce grown in the state contained PFAS pesticides – chemicals linked to cancer, immune system suppression and reproductive risks. PFAS are known as “forever chemicals” because they never break down in the environment. They build up in our bodies, our soil and our drinking water. Your voice is needed to protect our food supply. Tell California lawmakers: Ban PFAS pesticides HERE.

Communities across California, especially in the Central Valley, face environmental and health challenges from decades of intensive agricultural use and polluting fertilizers, among other root causes. More than 556,000 Californians, predominantly low-income communities in the Central Valley, do not have access to safe and affordable drinking water — including as a result of nitrate pollution. As agricultural lands transition to more sustainable management practices, ensuring responsible land and water use is key to addressing environmental health injustices and building climate resilience in our state. Write today and urge your CA assembly member to support the Nitrogen Pollution Reduction Act (AB 2447) and reduce the harmful impacts of nitrogen pollution. Act HERE.

Heavily promoted by the oil industry, chemical recycling is an umbrella term for a suite of technologies. Some of these technologies, like gasification and pyrolysis, are energy-intensive processes that use high heat to turn plastics into oil or gas, rather than back into plastics. Along the way, they also produce vast amounts of hazardous waste and significant greenhouse gases. The end product is not a new milk jug from recycled plastic but rather dirty fuels that will exacerbate the climate crisis. Call on your elected leaders to oppose policies that favor these harmful practices. Speak UP.

Bobcats pad along the remains of ancient buildings and ravens soar above kivas built by the ancestral Puebloans more than a thousand years ago. A staggering 91% of the public land surrounding Chaco Canyon has already been leased to the oil and gas industry. And now the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is proposing to remove even more protections. The BLM has imposed one of the shortest public comment periods we've seen -- we only have one week to take action. Call on the BLM to protect greater Chaco Canyon today. Speak out NOW.

With more than 1,000 Superfund sites (including the Leviathan Mine in Calif pictured above) remaining, the polluter pays tax is crucial to ensure that toxic waste is cleaned up before it further damages our health and drinking water. Companies pay a small, but necessary, price to clean up the pollution they create. If this tax is repealed, we will let companies off the hook for cleaning up dangerous pollution. That's why I'm urging you to oppose H.R. 640 and any other legislation that would repeal the polluter pays tax. Act HERE.

The U.S. creates nearly 7 million tons of electronic waste every year. And companies aren't helping. In fact, they're contributing to the problem by withholding the resources consumers and repair shops need to fix what's broken. The Fair Repair Act will put a dent in the proliferation of harmful e-waste by requiring companies to share the tools and resources we need to fix our stuff. Sending repairable devices to landfills could be seriously damaging to our health and environment. Electronic waste, or e-waste, consists of discarded smartphones, computers, and other devices, and a lot of these devices are made with lead and mercury. When e-waste enters landfills, it can leach these chemicals into the soil and contaminate groundwater. Tell your U.S. House representative to support the Fair Repair Act HERE.

We call on Congress to resist the Trump’s attempted unilateral withdrawal from the United Nations climate change treaty. The Constitution assigns to the President the singular duty to “take care that the laws are faithfully executed.” It provides, as well, that constitutional provisions, federal statutes, and Senate-approved treaties comprise the Supreme Law of the Land. Accordingly, the President should not unilaterally withdraw the nation from the Senate-approved United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). His recent (Feb. 27) attempt to do just that must be challenged. Because withdrawal is not effective until 12 months have passed, we still have time to reverse direction. Virtually every nation on the planet is a Party to the UNFCCC and, to date, no nation, once a party, has ever withdrawn from it. Act HERE.
