Support Equity & Affordability in SB 375 Implementation

Please help us by signing on to this letter which calls on the California Air Resources Board or CARB to address equity and affordability in SB 375 implementation.

The letter was drafted by members of ClimatePlan's targets+ equity working group. ClimatePlan is a network of leading non-profit organizations working together to advance more sustainable and equitable development throughout California, including SCANPH and many other affordable home organizations seeking to include our issues into SB 375 implementation.

The letter asks CARB to ensure that SB 375 implementation benefits all communities while reducing GHG emissions, and outlines a number of specific steps ARB should take to ensure equity considerations are addressed, both in the target-setting process and SCS development.

A copy of your letter will be sent to your state legislators as well as the Chairs of key legislative committees, and Parisa Fatehi who is coordinating the efforts. Please include your name, title, and organization of the signatory (if any) to your letter. Your organization's support is greatly appreciated!

To act now and send a fax to your state legislators and members of CARB at once (at no cost to you from SCANPH), please visit this link or http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/5901/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=898
