Behind the historic movement to phase out urban oil drilling in Los Angeles is years of dedicated community organizing by Liberty Hill community partners at STAND-LA. By uniting frontline residents and donor activists, they’ve brought a citywide ordinance—which ends new oil extraction and phases out existing wells within 20 years—to its final hurdle. The ordinance is now just one vote away from passage by the LA City Council. It is time to deliver the long-overdue health and safety protections our communities deserve. Help us push this over the finish line. Follow link in comments for more.

A historic win for frontline LA neighborhoods is within reach! For decades, families living near active oil fields have carried the heavy health, environmental, and economic burdens of local oil extraction. Where Big Oil saw profit, frontline communities imagined a healthier future. Thanks to years of relentless advocacy by Liberty Hill partners at STAND-L.A. and residents, that vision is finally becoming a reality and Los Angeles is on the verge of a historic phase-out of urban oil drilling. Watch our new video to hear from the people behind the movement and what this pivotal moment means for frontline communities.
