There are approximately 6 million children of school age in
California. Many of them who live near refineries and ports and
other areas where chemical usage is high (yes, in agricultural
areas too, where chemicals are sprayed) have asthma.
They need to breathe!
And so do the children in the Aazon.
I am asking that you Commit California to a
policy/regulatory agenda that ensures that California refineries
are not sourcing crude from regions where there are Indigenous
rights violations or from regions where new oil drilling in the
Amazon is being planned.
