San Diego’s climate, environment, and environmental justice organizations are coming together for a press conference and rally to say “Make Polluters Pay”.
The Polluters Pay Climate Superfund is the largest piece of climate legislation this year and would require the biggest fossil fuel polluters from 1990-2024 to pay their fair share for the climate damages they have caused. The money from the superfund would go towards cleaning up after climate disasters, making communities more climate resilient, and expanding clean energy projects, creating jobs along the way. You can read more about the bill here.
We’ll gather outside San Diego City Hall and will have t-shirts and signs for everyone.
Speakers include:
- Joe LaCava – San Diego City Council President
- Jessica Calix – San Diego flood survivor and community advocate based in South Crest
- Dr. Vi Nguyen – Pediatrician and representative of San Diego Pediatricians for Clean Air and the American Academy of Pediatrics California.
- Dr. Erin Evans – Associate Professor of Sociology at Mesa College and member of San Diego County Board of Education
