Join SBCAN and allies in urging the California Coastal Commission to vote on proposed environmental enforcement actions against Sable TOMORROW 4/10 in Santa Barbara. Sign up to speak TODAY by 5:00 PM.
See the message from the Environmental Defense Center below.
We have a big day tomorrow in our continued work to protect our coast from oil development. Thursday, April 10th, the California Coastal Commission will meet in Santa Barbara to vote on proposed environmental enforcement actions against Texas oil company Sable Offshore Corp. Will you join us? The company has conducted unpermitted work on the same defective pipeline that ruptured in 2015 causing the horrific oil spill that polluted 150 miles of California’s coastline. The Commission will vote on enforcement actions including a nearly $15M penalty to protect and restore the coastal environment from damage caused by pipeline construction work.
This is one of the only formal opportunities for the public to be heard regarding the Sable project. Please help us pack the room and show support to the Commission for these critical enforcement actions.

We’re getting closer to winning, but we need YOU to show up for a critical moment. Together, we can show overwhelming public opposition to this risky project — and support the California Coastal Commission to continue standing with us in protecting our coast and climate.
** We invite people to attend whether or not you will speak at the public hearing. Instructions for signing up to speak are HERE.

- Thank you for continuing to protect the coastal zone through your enforcement actions related to activities on the Santa Ynez Unit.
- I support items 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3 and ask the Commission to vote to approve the staff recommendation.
- For the sake of our beautiful coast, please stay strong and vigilant. We cannot afford to have another devastating oil spill or allow the coast to be damaged further.
- We are counting on you and the California Attorney General to stop the unlawful construction work.
- We also urge you to require ALL activities in the coastal zone to be subject to a Coastal Development Permit including restart of the pipeline.
- Thank you.

Join SBCAN and allies in urging the County Board of Supervisors to PAUSE, NOT vote on adding new jail beds until first examining alternative community investments on Tuesday, April 1 at 9 AM.
See the message from CLUE Santa Barbara below.
|
County Board of Supervisors will be asked to decide whether to invest $120 to $216 million in expanding our jail system or prioritize more effective, less expensive community-based alternatives. Ask the Board to PAUSE, NOT vote on adding new jail beds until first examining alternative community investments. Planning mental health and other infrastructure support could enable approximately 200-400 low-level, non-violent offenders with diagnosed mental health or addiction problems to receive treatment instead of jail. Community-based services would provide better outcomes at far less cost for the individuals, their families, neighbors and communities. This approach could significantly reduce or eliminate the need for building additional jail housing units.
