Offshore wind finds a new burst of momentum - similar to the days when Assemblymember David Chiu led CA’s offshore wind framework! Thank you to the attorneys general of NY, NJ, CA, MA, ME, VT, DE, RI, and CT for standing up against corruption and helping to protect our economy.

CalEnviroScreen controversy grows as @calmatters.org shows how Chinatown, Tenderloin, and SoMa were dropped and lose funding - @governor.ca.gov Newsom's strong leadership is needed to include SF and the Bay Area! Read more: calmatters.org/environment/...

California's pollution ranking tool just dropped Bay Area neighborhoods—and their funding
A quiet data update just reshuffled which California communities qualify for environmental cleanup money — and Bay Area neighborhoods lost ground.

Our communities are asking to be named and included. @insideclimatenews.org reports how the new version of CalEnviroScreen overlooks frontline communities. @governor.ca.gov , this is an opportunity to make sure resources are reaching people who need them most! insideclimatenews.org/news/28072026/…

Brightline’s Eddie Ahn in @latimes.com: “When states take the administration to court over its offshore wind war, they win.” @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov can investigate this $2.5B+ misuse of taxpayer money and hold those responsible accountable!

Our ED Eddie Ahn testified during a congressional hearing on federal taxpayer money being used to cancel offshore wind leases. With over $100M spent to develop offshore wind, CA has another $1B in commitments to ensure continued development. Learn more: heatmap.news/politics/huf...

Big Oil wants more handouts. CA families are already paying enough. We need a strong Cap-and-Invest program that invests in clean air, affordability, and climate solutions -- not more loopholes for polluters. Tell CARB your story today: influent.me/survey/wevep... #CapAndInvest

Proposed changes to CA’s carbon market could threaten funding for local air monitoring & community engagement programs in the Tenderloin, Mission, & SoMa. “It means frontline communities get disconnected from environmental policy.” - Eddie Ahn Read More: calmatters.org/environment/...

From Chinatown to Bayview, 30 CBOs serving local EJ communities are leading efforts for a more accurate CalEnviroScreen map. Thank you to all our partners for showing up & advocating for change! Now @californiaepa.bsky.social must act. Sign the petition: brightlinedefense.org/ces-petition

Across the Bay, 32 orgs are sounding the alarm on CalEnviroScreen excluding so many Bay Area communities. Thank you to for standing with our communities! Tell @californiaepa.bsky.social that this map must accurately represent frontline communities: brightlinedefense.org/ces-petition

@californiaepa.bsky.social CalEnviroScreen shapes where resources go, but key San Francisco communities are missing. SoMa, Tenderloin, Chinatown, and the Mission deserve to be counted. @governor.ca.gov We’re calling for an update that reflects reality.

Brightline Defense @brightlinedefense.bsky.social · 29/03/2026
CalEnviroScreen still doesn’t match SF community needs like Chinatown, SoMa, the Tenderloin, and the Mission, which face real environmental burdens but aren’t reflected in the map. 1500+ have already signed for @governor.ca.gov to fix the tool: www.brightlinedefense.org/ces-petition

Brightline Defense @brightlinedefense.bsky.social · 28/03/2026
San Francisco communities are left off the map! For 10 years, CalEnviroScreen has excluded SoMa, the TL, Chinatown, and the Mission, blocking critical state funding. Sign more to ask @governor.ca.gov to fix the tool: www.brightlinedefense.org/ces-petition #calenviroscreen #environmentaljustice

Governor @gavinnewsom.bsky.social, we need your help putting SF communities back on the map for state funding! CalEnviroScreen has erased South of Market, Tenderloin, Chinatown, Mission District. Our volunteers have gathered 1500 signatures so far on our petition: brightlinedefense.org/ces-petition

California has never been better positioned to break free from fossil fuels. As @governor.ca.gov shared, renewables like solar and wind exceeded electricity demand on most days in 2025! #StateOfTheState

Brightline is thrilled to recognize Senator Gonzalez as the 2025 Offshore Wind Champion! Her leadership and commitment to clean air, reliable energy, and community benefits are helping keep California at the forefront of equitable offshore wind planning. @senatorgonzalez.bsky.social

The success of offshore wind in CA depends on early, meaningful engagement with local and Tribal communities. AB 1417 creates the tools to make that happen. Thank you, @CAGovernor, @Stefani4CA, and #CALeg for your leadership!

We applaud Governor Newsom @governor.ca.gov and legislative leaders for taking bold action to secure California’s clean energy future. Today, there will be continued investments in clean air, renewable energy, and climate resilience — as well as a stronger Community Air Protection Program.
