Why Trump's executive order targeting state climate laws is probably illegal

Every LA community has a stake in this fight. But it's frontline communities who have been ringing the alarm bells for over a decade about the dangers of oil and gas drilling. Hear it from Ashley of Communities for a Better Environment.

When you're trapped in a hole, stop digging.

LA has already seen enough air pollution, wildfire smoke, and homes destroyed. We're DONE with fossil fuels.

Maya Golden-Krasner with @centerforbiodiv explains that recovering from wildfires requires moving forward without oil drilling.
