📍 NYC Climate Week: “Gov. Newsom: If you can’t take on Big Oil, how can you take on Trump?”

We JUST dropped this banner because Newsom can’t claim climate leadership while siding with Big Oil billionaires.

@cagovernornewsom.bsky.social—don't let Big Oil 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘱 your climate promises!
AI isn’t neutral.
When it’s trained on fossil fuel PR, it parrots fossil fuel PR.

That means more hype for CCS + “natural gas”…and less truth about frontline harms.

AI must serve the people, not polluters.

There are still 90,000 unplugged oil and gas wells across the state that need to be cleaned up. And even though one third of these wells are idle, that doesn’t stop them from leaking methane and other dangerous toxins into our air.

While he rightfully stands up to Trump on the national stage, this is sadly the nightmare @governor.ca.gov just handed out to all of us back at home: 1000 of new oil drilling permits are on the horizon.

Every new drilling permit is another treat for Big Oil—and a trick on Californians’ health.

Children are more susceptible to damage from toxins b/c their bodies are smaller and still developing.

Low level chemical and air toxin exposure over long periods can significantly damage childhood development & increase cancer and asthma risk.

California needs to get off oil.

Fossil fuels don’t just heat the planet—they fuel fascism.

💰 Big Oil spent $450M influencing Trump + Congress
💰 $96M went to Trump + his PACs
💰 $19M from oil execs to his inauguration

Welcome to California’s scariest addresses —
Sponsored by Trump’s Big Oil cronies, and this year…even approved by @governor.ca.gov Newsom and the state legislature, who made a dramatic oil drilling expansion a core part of their legislative agenda.
Every door hides a health crisis.
October 29, 2025 at 4:29 PM
Gov. Newsom calls himself a climate leader.

But he’s fast-tracking new oil wells and blocking bills that make polluters pay.
If he can’t take on Big Oil, how can he take on Trump?

Tell @CAgovernor to fight for the people, not polluters.

Carbon Capture isn’t a solution — it’s Big Oil’s scam.

❌ 80% of projects fail
❌ Taxpayers foot the bill
❌ Communities face new risks

California deserves REAL climate solutions: clean energy, good jobs, safe neighborhoods.

Every new oil well means more toxic air, more illness, and more broken promises.

SB 237 puts 2,000 new drill sites a year in Kern County — where pollution already kills and families are fighting to survive.

Gov. Newsom can’t claim climate leadership while sacrificing our health.
October 21, 2025 at 9:57 PM
Stop air pollution & save taxpayer dollars! SB County’s Oil Phase-out plan is a health & economic win — ACT NOW to support it. Email the supervisors before Oct. 21: clerk@countyofsb.org.

Read why: https://www.independent.com/2025/10/14/phase-out-oil-to-protect-our-health-and-environment/
October 20, 2025 at 3:03 PM
Gov. Newsom just handed Kern County to polluters.

With SB 237, he approved up to 2,000 new oil drill sites every year — poisoning families, worsening the climate crisis, & breaking his promises.

Kern County residents deserve clean air, not corporate favors.

📣📣 ACTION ALERT for Santa Barbara County!

On Tuesday, Oct. 21, the County Board of Supervisors is voting on our crucial fossil fuel phase-out ordinance that will reduce toxic air pollution and protect our community from climate disasters.

A massive fireball tore through Chevron’s El Segundo refinery last night — proof again that fossil fuels are dangerous and toxic.

@governor.ca.gov must stop caving to Big Oil and deliver a just transition to clean, safe energy. Our health + future depend on it.
October 8, 2025 at 4:23 PM
A massive fire erupted last night at the Chevron refinery in El Segundo. This horrible disaster is yet another reminder of the grave dangers the fossil fuels economy poses to California communities.

As Feleecia Guillen from @ips-dc.org New Mexico told CapRadio, she didn’t know much about Newsom until he took the national stage to stand up to Trump—and as a younger voter, she hopes he’ll show the same courage against Big Oil.

📢 OCT 24 — Youth across CA are walking out. Big Oil helped fuel the climate crisis. They profited. Young people pay the price. It’s time for polluters to PAY their fair share. 🔥🌎✊🏽

Newsom can't claim climate leadership while giving Big Oil what it wants. 📣

Communities are already paying the price: record-breaking heat, wildfire smoke, toxic pollution, and skyrocketing costs. Meanwhile, fossil fuel CEOs rake in billions.

Newsom’s “drill bill” is a giveaway to Big Oil – and California deserves better. Read more in the @SFChronicle from Faraz Rizvi at @apen4ej: https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/openforum/article/oil-drilling-refinery-gas-california-21053657.php
Newsom’s deal to cut energy costs includes giveaways to Big Oil, more drilling

Our banner drop in NYC—the ancestral homelands of the Lenape Peoples—sends a clear message to @governor.ca.gov:

Climate leadership means fighting for PEOPLE, not polluters.

Newsom just signed a bill that will expand oil drilling in California. 🚨🚨 This signals “what could become a dangerous new pattern: allowing Big Oil to hold California hostage every time a refinery announces a potential closure.” Find out more: https://bit.ly/4pF91Pa

Gov. Newsom is catching heat for flexing on climate while ramping up oil drilling back home.

40+ organizations called him out & others dropped a giant banner at #ClimateWeekNYC to remind him that taking on Trump means taking on Big Oil too: www.dailykos.com/stories/2025... via @dailykos.com
Over 40 groups call out Newsom for backsliding on climate promises, banner dropped in New York City
