We were at the CalGEM HQ today to demand they do their jobs & protect communities from methane spewing oil wells.

We need Gavin Newsom to enact 3200ft #SetbacksNow and make polluters plug idle wells.

We are at CalGEM's doorstep with demands for Gavin Newsom:

👊 Rein in your rogue agency.

🛑 Stop permitting new fossil fuels.

🛢️ End neighborhood oil drilling TODAY!

#ClimateLeadersDontDrill

This is unacceptable. We will not allow our communities to be sacrifice zones. Central Valley residents deserve clean air and clean water. We must hold big oil executives accountable for their pollution

This is why the #CalGEM Public Health Rule must include EXISTING oil wells🛢️

The CA official who was in charge of regulating oil & gas was instead rubber stamping hundreds of new permits for oil drilling.

He just resigned.

So a bunch of California voters went to CalGEM HQ today to demand an end to the #RevolvingDoor between big oil and regulators!

We are holding it down in the belly of the beast also! #kern #calgem

#JustStopOil

Cheering news from California - a dramatic drop in new oil well permits being granted.

Instead, CalGEM is processing far more approvals to permanently close wells.

'We expect this trend to continue as California transitions away from fossil fuels,' CalGEM said.

Ventura Co Voters Measure A and B protect our water. Vote yes!! CalGEM well records used to determine oil well sites- 6,800 wells and 1500 near/thru aquifers,Ventura County planning records used, CA Dept of Conservation source for water wells”

BREAKING: Center for Biological Diversity is suing CalGEM.
“We really want to see the regulators held accountable for rubber-stamping permits that are near where people are living and playing.”

Frontline communities are simply trying to breathe. #NoNewPermits #EnvironmentalJustice @EYC4EJ

CalGem is hosting a community forum tonight and next Tuesday on the leaking wells.

Join us in Sacramento tomorrow to demand that the next director of CalGEM, the state's oil regulator, actually care about protecting public health, and end drilling in neighborhoods!

In April, Gov Newsom directed CalGEM to end the issuance of new permits for hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) by January 2024.

If the Republican recall succeeds, this fracking ban could be reversed.

Your NO vote can prevent this.

New CalGEM supervisor Doug Ito and some of his team accepted invitations from EJ advocates and community members in LA, Ventura and Kern county to join them on “Toxic Tours” to witness firsthand the reality of neighborhood oil and gas drilling.

#NoDrillingWhereWereLiving

After this demonstration CCEJN Center on Race, Poverty, & the Environment and CA Youth Vs Big Oil walked into the Bakersfield #calGEM office and demanded updates on leaking wells 🙌🏼

Why did climate protestors show up to CalGEM offices in Sacramento dressed up as Chevron executives yesterday?

It has a lot to do with the recent resignation of the state’s top oil regulator. Why is that a big deal?

Here’s a🧵 to learn more in our latest Climate News Explained.

78% of oil drilling in California happens in Kern County. Vulnerable residents, many who are monolingual Spanish speakers, deal with nosebleeds, asthma and preterm births caused by pollution. Tell #CalGEM to protect our health and #StandWithKern sc.org/banfrackingca

We're in the home stretch for getting comments to CalGEM y'all!

It takes 2 minutes. Comment Here: tinyurl.com/3200ftsetbacks

There are two wells (10 and 120) on CalGEM map in the Morningstar area of North Bakersfield with massive methane leaks happening right now! Please share this so people in the neighborhood know to stay safe. So far, no public agency has issued a public notice. VISION CA 3,200ft Setbacks Now

Warren Energy looks to have improperly obtained oil drill permits @ #Wilmington drill site. Asking #CalGEM to revoke/suspend permits, issue Stop Work Order, & audit all Warren permits at site. #EnvironmentalJustice #CA44
