Dear Governor Newsom,

Message Body

Our communities are suffering from worsening wildfires, droughts and record-breaking temperatures. California is on the front lines of the climate crisis, so I urge you to do the right thing for our families and for our planet by declaring a Climate Emergency and taking bold action to get CA off fossil fuels in your first year in office.

Specifically, I ask you to use your broad executive authority to:

1) Stop issuing new fossil fuel permits in California immediately, ban fracking and develop a plan to phase out fossil fuel production; immediately implement measures to protect people and the environment until the phaseout is complete.

2) Protect California’s water resources and agriculture from toxic fossil fuel extraction wastewater.

3) Shut down California’s dangerous fossil fuel infrastructure, including immediately and permanently closing the Aliso Canyon gas storage facility.

4) Amend California’s Renewable Portfolio Standards goal to 100% clean, renewable energy and eliminate dirty energy.

5) Ban factory farming in California.

6) Develop a plan for a fair and just transition to 100% clean, renewable energy in California by 2030.

Nowhere else is an elected official so well positioned to boldly lead the world than you are in California. Governor Newsom, declare a climate emergency and use your broad executive authority to end California's dependence on fossil fuels.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]
