Petition to Phase Out Oil Drilling Throughout LA within Five Years
Dear LA Public Officials,
For decades, Los Angeles County’s oil industry has been given free rein to drill for health-harming fossil fuels in the center of our communities. There are oil wells in our backyards, on school campuses, and next to our hospitals. Los Angeles residents living near oil wells are exposed to carcinogenic chemicals, asthma attack-inducing emissions, and the threat of catastrophic accidents or explosions.
While Los Angeles claims to be a leader on climate action, we continue to concentrate impacts in low-income communities and communities of color.
We are far past the time for LA to establish rules to protect public health from oil extraction. We must commit to real solutions that protect residents' health, create pathways for workers to transition into the work of decommissioning these sites and into dignified, family-supporting jobs, and end this extractive practice once and for all. It’s time for bold action to transition away from fossil fuels in Los Angeles!
I urge you to phase out oil production across all of Los Angeles by declaring oil drilling a non-conforming land use and establishing a 5-year phase-out period for ALL drilling. Sincerely,
Steven Acosta 90011
