Ask Gov. Newsom to sign SB1!
California Governor Gavin Newsom
Sacramento Office: (916) 445-2841
My name is __________. I am a constituent, and my zip code is _______. I am a member of Indivisible SF.
I'm calling to urge Gov. Newsom to protect our environment and sign SB. 1.
Background
SB1 faced major opposition from big agri-business and water agency interests that resist taking scientific information into account as new water projects are considered. These special interests support Trump’s environmental rollback agenda, and now they have the Governor’s ear!
Governor Newsom even asked the bill’s author, Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins, to shelve the bill until next year. But despite the Governor's opposition, Senator Atkins persisted and brought the bill up for a vote in the legislature. Both houses passed it in the final hours of the legislative session.
Now, Governor Newsom is threatening to side with the Trump Administration and some of his large agri-business and water interest donors and veto SB 1. We cannot let that happen. It would be bad for California, bad for Newsom, and bad for the planet. Support California’s environment today and urge the Governor to sign SB1.
