Our mission: We're working to rapidly reduce climate pollution at scale, starting in California.
This year, we've enacted new composting legislation, reformed California's signature climate program, secured billions in funding for natural climate solutions, and gained bipartisan support to save Californians money on electricity. Read more in our 2025 impact report! 🌟 https://loom.ly/zzMTBy0

🚨 Big Oil spent $7.1 million in Q3 on lobbying. While Californians continue to struggle with sky-high utility, grocery, and housing costs, oil and gas corporations pour millions into opposing CA’s transition to affordable, clean energy. More: https://loom.ly/cbkf8wI @apen4ej.bsky.social
