GOOD NEWS: 🎉🎉🎉 #AB2083, which creates a plan to cut emissions from thousands of industrial manufacturing facilities across CA just passed off the Assembly floor.

Thank you @AsmMarcBerman for your leadership.

a23.asmdc.org/press-releases… Shoutout to all the organizations that made this possible!

Did you know that CA has 35,000+ manufacturing firms that make products and foods we consume every day, but doesn't have a plan to modernize manufacturing to #zeroemissions solutions? 😲

#AB2083 will direct state agencies to draft this plan to protect our air #RighttoZero ☺️ Unfortunately, many industrial heat processes are powered by dirty fossil fuels despite currently available #zeroemission technologies. 😡😢

This causes greenhouse gases and other toxic air pollution like NOx and SOx which lead to health issues in frontline EJ communities 🤒😷

Incredible introduction to @SierraClub's Executive Director @BenJealous!

Thanks @Sammy_Roth for a great story covering topics of how to navigate racism, financial affordability and internal tensions in an ambitious agenda to tackle the climate crisis.
