If you care about climate action and a healthy democracy, vote no on the September 14, 2021 recall election.
It would be easy to lose track of this strange and confusing recall election taking place in September in the midst of back-to-school activities and pandemic challenges. Don’t let this one slide. The results could be devastating, destabilizing, and environmentally destructive. When you receive a ballot in the mail later this month, vote. If you’ve moved or haven’t received a sample ballot, register by August 30 at registertovote.ca.gov .
Earlier this year, major environmental groups announced their opposition to the effort to recall Governor Gavin Newsom. Sierra Club California, NRDC Action Fund, California Environmental Justice Alliance Action, and California League of Conservation Voters all signed on. “Our communities are grappling with unprecedented and interconnected economic, public health, and climate crises that require immense government leadership in this moment, which is why this political stunt could have devastating impacts for our families and our future,” said Mary Creasman, CEO of California League of Conservation Voters.
