On César Chávez Day, STAND celebrates & recognizes civil rights, labor solidarity, & environmental justice.

We honor Chavez's legacy by continuing our campaign to end oil drilling in LA so all Angelenos breathe clean air & experience the benefits of phasing out fossil fuels

Earlier this month, we hosted an inspiring community workshop where members of the STAND community came together to connect, share important updates, and find new ways to move our campaign to end neighborhood drilling forward.

“Californians should be wise enough to see this messaging for what it is: The behavior of a threatened, greed-driven industry trying to trick us into letting it hold onto its dirty and harmful old ways of doing business.”

Don't be fooled by Big Oil's blame game! California's high gas prices aren't due to environmental policies, but rather, the industry's greed. Learn the truth behind the pump prices in this eye-opening editorial. #StopBigOilGreed latimes.com/opinion/story/…
