SACRAMENTO, CA — Today, California Environmental Voters (EnviroVoters) released the following statement in response to the Assembly Natural Resources Committee advancing the Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act.
Statement from Fatima Iqbal-Zubair, Legislative Affairs Manager, California Environmental Voters:
“This is a common-sense victory, not just for climate justice but for affordability in California. Big Oil has made billions in profits while passing the true costs of their pollution onto our communities—costs measured in extreme wildfires, floods, worsening extreme heat, and lives lost.
We’re standing up for those who have been living with the consequences of climate inaction for far too long, especially low-income and communities of color who’ve shouldered the heaviest burden of the affordability crisis. By demanding these corporations pay their fair share, we’re delivering on equity, justice, and a future that works for everyone.”
