SYRCL is taking a clear position: Vote NO on Proposition 45. Proposition 45 would gut CEQA — California’s bedrock environmental protection law — fast-tracking data centers, new dams, logging operations, and energy facilities while stripping communities of their right to weigh in.

CA has a tool that can stop pollution before it starts: Outstanding National Resource Waters, the strongest water quality protection under the Clean Water Act. But the state has barely used it — because there's no clear, statewide process for how these designations actually happen.

The algorithm might not, but we do. The Yuba has survived headwater degradation, hydraulic gold mining, large scale dredging operations, and dams blocking volitional fish passage. It can survive a bad news feed day.
