Hey team, have you noticed that your everyday costs are skyrocketing lately?

There's a hidden culprit driving prices up—Fossil Fuel CEOs. For 50 years, these Big Oil executives have prioritized profits over people, knowing all along that their actions cause massive health risks and climate disasters that drive up prices for the average person.

We have a solution to make polluters pay for the financial burden they've put on us: The Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act.

The first hearing for this bill in the Senate Environmental Quality committee is coming up, and we're calling on EnviroVoters like you to push it through. Will you fill out our three-minute form to email your state senator in support of this bill?

In last year's Senate Appropriation Committee analysis, this bill was estimated to generate “significant ongoing revenues" for the state in the billions or even tens of billions of dollars. Here are some concrete ways that will benefit you:

• Your bills will be more affordable with the upgrades to energy efficiency measures, water systems, and microgrids.
• Your transportation costs will improve, thanks to the new investments in electric vehicles, transit, and infrastructure.
• You'll be more prepared for climate impacts like extreme heat, wildfires, and droughts, thanks to new resiliency projects and support for essential workers.

Right now, Californians like you and me are unfairly taking on the full cost of climate change, either directly through rising prices or indirectly through tax-funded state action.

This bill will make big polluters pay for the mess they created—but we need your help to get it through the state Senate, EnviroVoter. Will you fill out our quick email form to make sure your representative supports this bill?

Senate Environmental Quality is the first of many committees this bill needs to pass, and we need your help to start off strong and get positive momentum behind this bill. We'll keep you posted as the legislative cycle continues to share successes, bill progress, and how you can help. 

Thanks for being part of this movement,

Fatima Iqbal-Zubair
