LA City Council Passes First Vote to Phase Out Oil Drilling Citywide!

This is a first step toward victory - but it's not over yet.

If the ordinance clears a second Council vote later this summer, Los Angeles will become the largest city in the country to commit to phasing out oil drilling, following the lead of places like Culver City and Santa Barbara.

Standing Together Against Neighborhood Drilling (STAND-LA) @standla.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

City Council has cast its first vote to support an ordinance that would end new oil and gas extraction and phase out existing drilling operations within twenty years citywide. For a city long shaped—physically & politically—by fossil fuel interests, this represents far more than a policy change.

Good news! We've cleared the first hurdle toward a citywide phase-out of oil drilling in LA 🎉 Congrats to frontline residents, members and supporters who have taken action with us over the past 10+ years to move us closer to environmental justice

This same oil company drills 32 oil wells within a ½ mile of 16,000 people’s homes and within 1,000 feet of K-12 students attending school. E&B Natural Resources has committed 69 violations at the Murphy Drill Site in South LA, putting these Angelenos at-risk.

California’s state oil regulator has fined oil company E&B Natural Resources more than $1 million for endangering California’s drinking water by * knowingly * injecting toxic fluids into a broken oil well. They knew the well was broken and still injected into it. www.bakersfield.com/news/state-a...

This happened in the same week as the oil pipeline rupture in East LA and the threat of the chemical tank failure in Garden Grove. Industrial activity has no place in our communities. We stand with all communities living under the threat and environmental injustice of toxic activity.

Standing Together Against Neighborhood Drilling (STAND-LA) @standla.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

So they called @southcoastaqmd.bsky.social to inspect it. They found the leak, filed a Notice of Violation, and repaired it. The immediate threat is past, but this goes to show how dangerous oil & gas is near communities. If residents hadn't been vigilant, the leak could have continued...

LA must move urgently to fully phase out this harmful industry including denying pipeline franchise agreements for unsafe pipeline operations, protect the health and safety of residents across the city, and work with communities to usher in a new fossil-free future that benefits communities.

Standing Together Against Neighborhood Drilling (STAND-LA) @standla.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

Incidents like these are not isolated – they are the unavoidable consequence of letting dangerous oil operations continue in our neighborhoods.

Standing Together Against Neighborhood Drilling (STAND-LA) @standla.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

This morning’s oil pipeline rupture in East Los Angeles is a sharp reminder that the business of oil and gas extraction has no place in our communities. Residents live with the constant threat of spills, leaks, explosions, and exposure to toxic air, but they shouldn't have to.

When you're trapped in a hole, stop digging. LA has already seen enough air pollution, wildfire smoke, and homes destroyed. We're DONE with fossil fuels. Maya Golden-Krasner with @centerforbiodiv explains that recovering from wildfires requires moving forward without oil drilling.
