Tonight, the State Legislature passed and acting Governor @CASenateProTem Mike McGuire signed our $10 billion Climate Resiliency Bond Act. This critical piece of legislation is for the future of California. Proud of this team.
California's new #ClimateBond can help prevent drought, wildfires, pollution & extreme heat from defining our future.
Thank you @ilike_mike@CASpeakerRivas and #CALeg members for giving voters a chance in November to say yes to climate action!

Today is a historic day for climate resiliency in California! Thank you CA Legislature for prioritizing our frontline communities who are facing the challenges of our climate crisis by signing #SB867#caleg#ClimateBondNow
The CA climate bond now heads to voters! The cost of inaction is dangerously high. The new #ClimateBond will help communities prepare now.
Thank you @ilike_mike@CASpeakerRivas and #caleg members for giving voters a chance to support climate action.

.@GavinNewsom & #CALeg: You can prevent drought, wildfires, pollution & extreme heat from defining our future. Stabilize & boost climate action investment by putting on the Nov ballot a #ClimateBondNow! 147 ORGS URGE YOU TO SUPPORT #SB867!
It’s literally 112 degrees in Sacramento today…
#CALeg can we count on you to join the team and pass a $10 billion package to fund programs that would help Californians fight extreme heat, drought, and wildfires?

We need a #climatebond NOW! We can't credibly provide Californians with clean water, air & protection from fires, extreme heat, & other devastating climate impacts with a second year of budget cuts & funding delays.

We proudly joined 160 orgs urging #CALeg to secure a #ClimateBond for conservation, climate resilience, & safe drinking water. The Legislature has until WEDNESDAY, July 3, 2024, to act! We need your voice to tell lawmakers to support a #ClimateBondNow: bit.ly/3WdD8kx
The climate bond #CALeg is voting on has the chance to be one of the most intersectional & multi-sector approaches to tackling the climate crisis because it prioritizes EJ priorities that touch on local energy, housing, urban infrastructure, public health, etc.
#ClimateBondNow
Dear @AsmLuzRivas: SB867 is twice as big as any comparable CA bond.
Help make history by SUPPORTING #SB867! Voters deserve a real choice to support investments in proven climate solutions needed now to build a better future. bit.ly/3L8FJW8
☎️ ACTION ALERT ☎️
The California legislature will vote on the climate bond TOMORROW and these Assemblymembers are still undecided. We need investments in clean drinking water, sustainable agriculture, and wildfire readiness. Your phone call could help us get there!
#CALeg: It'll be 111 in Sacramento on Wednesday - THE LAST DAY for state leaders to put a robust, equitable climate bond on the ballot. Communities need help now & our kids are counting on us to build a better climate future. Support a #ClimateBondNow!
Great to hear @EnvDefenseFund's José Rodriguez-Flores speak on multibenefit land repurposing at @WaterEdFdn's Sustainable Groundwater in Ag Conference.
Repurposing can boost community health, economic well-being, water supply, flood control & more:

Only 8% of all rivers & streams in California have their flow monitored. We're still driving in the dark when it comes to water data. @GavinNewsom if we want to secure our water future amidst unprecedented stress, we need to invest in water data, we need a #ClimateBondNOW
Only 8% of California’s rivers and streams have gages measuring flow.
“We’re really flying blind,” researcher Lucy Andrews says. “If we don’t know how much water is in rivers and streams, we are essentially dooming some of our freshwater species.” latimes.com/environment/stor…
"The labor and sacrifices of farmers and communities on the front lines of the groundwater crisis deserve our attention and support."

Very excited about the impressive new board members joining @CAWaterData. I can personally attest they are joining an outstanding Board of Directors and supporting a fantastic and dedicated staff.
