Join us to celebrate our victory over Big Oil!
After months of advocacy and activism from grassroots organizations and frontline communities across California, including Youth v. Oil & SanDiego350 in San Diego, Big Oil has withdrawn its referendum to overturn the oil setback law passed in 2022.
We’ll be hold a celebration potluck picnic at Kate Sessions Park (top of the hill, we’ll send a pin to those who RSVP about an hour before the party starts).
Please make sure to bring a blanket or chair if you want one, and your own plate/cup/utensils.
Despite spending nearly $61 million on deceitful efforts, Big Oil was defeated in this round. Senate Bill 1137 took effect immediately, protecting California frontline communities by prohibiting oil companies from drilling new or reworked oil wells within 3,200 ft of places where people work, learn, live, and play, and increasing regulations on existing wells within this zone.
