This call to action comes from the Sierra Club.
President Donald Trump has instructed the federal government to exert control over California’s water systems and we need your help in demanding that Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta stand up to him!
In his first week as President, Donald Trump issued two executive orders that topple Californians’ right to manage our own natural resources and sentence the San Francisco Bay-Delta Ecosystem to collapse. Within both orders, Trump perpetuates a number of lies, including that the Los Angeles fires were due to “inadequate water supplies” in Southern California and meager water imports from Northern California. This is not true – the reservoirs were full enough to battle the flames. Gusts as high as 90mph and an urban water system ill-equipped to battle a fire that size were the true culprits of the blaze’s speed and intensity.
Please send a letter to Governor Newsom and Attorney General Bonta demanding action today.
