Governor Brown, Please Step Up
750 Public Interest Groups Urge Halt to New Oil and Gas Projects in California
More than 750 public interest groups from California and around the world kicked off a campaign urging Governor Jerry Brown to stop the build-out of dirty fossil fuel infrastructure, keep oil and gas in the ground and take immediate action to protect those most vulnerable to climate change.
If Brown doesn’t act, the groups say, the governor will lose their support for the global climate action summit that he will host five months from now in San Francisco.
The broad coalition sponsored billboards in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Sacramento, placed a full-page advertisement in the Sacramento Bee and launched a thermal airship over San Francisco Bay to challenge Brown for falling short on plans to limit fossil fuels in the state.
