Gov. Newsom is fueling California’s fires
In 2020, Newsom’s administration has granted over 1,500 new oil & gas drilling permits. It’s time to cut ties.
California can't wait:
Gov. Newsom: Say No to Fossil Fuels
California will continue to burn if we do not take drastic steps now to reduce emissions and stop global temperature warming.
Add your name today to demand Governor Newsom say no to fossil fuels. California can't wait.
Newsom has the power to protect our communities and listen to the science, but he’s not using it – and he won’t unless we fight for it.
Read our demands to the Governor below, then add your name if you agree and join the mass movement of Californians calling for change.
Together with the Last Chance Alliance we’re calling on Governor Newsom to:
- Stop all new fossil fuel projects by issuing no new drilling permits
- Phase out existing drilling with a just and equitable transition plan for workers and the communities most impacted
- Create a 2500-foot health and safety buffer zone between fossil-fuel infrastructure and homes, schools, and other sensitive areas

As #CAFires blaze, allow us to review @GavinNewsom’s climate record:
🛢️Issued 1,500 oil & gas permits in 2020
🏠Allows oil drilling near homes, schools, healthcare facilities
🤑Lets Big Oil continue to pollute business-as-usual during #COVID19
#WalkBackTheFrack
Deadly heatwaves. Unsafe air. 367 wildfires.
Fossil fuels got us here. Yet, @GavinNewsom has issued over 1,500 oil & gas permits in 2020.
@CAGovernor, we urge you to model true climate leadership for the US & the world: phase out fossil fuels #WalkBackTheFrack
.@GavinNewsom: By being complicit in Big Oil’s business model of extraction & pollution, you fuel the flames of climate crisis.
Every permit you issue to Big Oil today is a heatwave, a thunderstorm, a wildfire, a mudslide tomorrow.
Phase out fossil fuels. #WalkBackTheFrack
