“Governor Gavin Newsom surprised environmental and labor allies this week by opting to side with private water interests and the Trump administration instead of safeguarding workers and wildlife. Surfrider Foundation joins the people of California in asking the governor to sign SB 1 instead of following through with the veto he’s threatened.
Approved by the California legislature early last Saturday, SB 1 would ensure that California maintains the protections that the Trump Administration seeks to undermine, namely the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act and the Endangered Species Act.
With a federal administration determined to weaken these environmental and public health laws, it’s imperative California step up to defend our clean air, water, and communities – which is why state Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins authored this legislation as a safety measure. We need SB 1 in order to hold on to clean air and water, shield endangered wildlife and preserve workers’ rights.”
