Petition updateTake Action to ban hydrofluoric acid in CA refineries - Please FWDCost: $100M to save your loved ones from deadly MHF
MODIFIED HYDROFLUORIC ACID RISKGardena, CA, United States
Nov 5, 2016
But are YOU a priority? Is YOUR FAMILY a priority? YOUR CHILDREN? YOUR COWORKERS, YOUR FRIENDS? Apparently not, because in the 2015-2016 Legislative year the Oil & Gas industry, DID SPEND $114-$126 Million-- but not on your safety. They spent it on lobbying legislators from California and the US Congress. When you found out that over 600,000 lives in the South Bay were at risk from MHF/HF it was infuriating- and terrifying. So, you and 7000 others raised your voice, united in opposition to the unacceptable KILL zone you are forced to live and work in. But the Oil & Gas industry is also united. So united they are on track to spend over $37 million in California alone. And what did they get-- so far? They killed the CA bill to ban MHF introduced last February, one year after the explosion at ExxonMobil nearly ripped open a tank of the deadly chemical. So what can YOU do? You can elect representatives to the California legislature committed to FIGHTING the Oil & Gas lobby, NOT FIGHTING ON *THEIR* BEHALF. VOTE AL MURATSUCHI Has a refinery safety plan that includes a legislative ban on MHF/HF. http://www.alforassembly.com/issues/al-muratsuchi-s-6-point-refinery-safety-plan VOTE WARREN FURUTANI "I worked with Assemblyman Rob Bonta on the 2015 bill to ban MHF. In my 25 years of being an elected official, I have never taken oil refinery/industry money. I want to feel unencumbered to hold them accountable (oil) to keep our communities safe."
