@ValleyAir has shown lack of accountability for the harm to public health caused by its Emission Reduction Credits (ERCs) program. Here is a thread of recent media coverage of our coalition members’ resignation from @ValleyAir's ERCs public advisory workgroup (PAW): “The Air District’s refusal to address and quantify the inconsistencies and discrepancies..is evidence of an unwillingness to collaborate and an unwillingness to compensate our disadvantaged communities for the mismanaged credits.”

BREAKING: All Public Members Resign from @ValleyAir's Workgroup due to their lack of accountability for systemic failures in their air pollution "credit" banking scheme that has favored #BigOil at the cost of public health, esp EJ hoods.

Full statement: calcleanair.org/media/ CVAQ Director @catherinegw called the workgroup “another disappointing failure by @ValleyAir that exposes their bias toward polluters. CVAQ will continue to pursue reconciliation and justice, but I can no longer give cover to this performative process.”
