This November, vote NO on Prop. 45 to protect California's precious landscapes from irresponsible development and pollution. If Prop. 45 passes, both nature and California's people would pay a considerable price through the loss of our open spaces and negative health impacts. www.noprop45ca.com

This November, vote NO on Prop. 45! Prop. 45 would gut the California Environmental Quality Act, which is our state law that protects the land and us from environmental harm. The passing of Prop. 45 would fast track development threats throughout the state, putting more wildlife habitat at risk.

Pollinators are the quiet champions of our ecosystems—from deserts to forests, prairies to tundra. Any critter that visits the reproductive parts of a plant and transfers pollen to flowers of the same species is a pollinator. Without them, our world wouldn't be the same.
