Brightline Defense @brightlinedefense.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Offshore 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. 111
Brightline Defense @brightlinedefense.bsky.social · 20/08/2026CalEnviroScreen 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!

Brightline Defense @brightlinedefense.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Our 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/… 011

Brightline Defense @brightlinedefense.bsky.social · 17/06/2026Brightline’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! Sign the petition www.brightlinedefense.org/california-o... 001
Brightline Defense @brightlinedefense.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Our 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... 001
Brightline Defense @brightlinedefense.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Big 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.

Brightline Defense @brightlinedefense.bsky.social · 19/05/2026Proposed 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/... 011
Brightline Defense @brightlinedefense.bsky.social · 10/04/2026From 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 000
Brightline Defense @brightlinedefense.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Across 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 020
Brightline Defense @brightlinedefense.bsky.social · 30/03/2026@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. 000
Brightline Defense @brightlinedefense.bsky.social · 29/03/2026CalEnviroScreen 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 000
Brightline Defense @brightlinedefense.bsky.social · 28/03/2026San 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 000
Brightline Defense @brightlinedefense.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Governor @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 000
Brightline Defense @brightlinedefense.bsky.social · 09/01/2026California 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 000
Brightline Defense @brightlinedefense.bsky.social · 18/11/2025Thank you @senatorgonzalez for your leadership in equitable offshore wind development! @IBEWlocal11 @CleanPowerCA @oceanticnetwork @BGAlliance @EnvCalifornia @portoflongbeach @EnvDefenseFund 000

Brightline Defense @brightlinedefense.bsky.social · 08/10/2025The 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! 010
Brightline Defense @brightlinedefense.bsky.social · 19/09/2025We applaud Governor Newsom @governor.ca.gov and legislative leaders for taking bold action to secure California’s clean energy future.
