Calling all #EastBay residents! The BAAQMD might repeal its #cleanair rules. ⛅️

These rules have protected us 👵🧑‍🦰 from toxic air for years.

But the gas industry🏭 wants to take them away.

We, too, impact the BAAQMD.

Take one minute.

Sign on to defend our air!⬇️⬇️

Are you one of those voters--on either side--who opposes cuts to #Climate?

More bad news: The 2023 National Climate Assessment website went offline on July 1, 2025.

People everywhere once relied on the NCA to help with climate change.

"Walker cautioned against undue alarmism, but he said that indoor air pollution from gas appliances is very difficult to eliminate completely."
Not only gas stoves can be dangerous for family health.
