"We strongly support the Senate’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gases and look forward to working with them to emphasize the health and job-creating benefits of increased reductions directly from sources in California. Direct reductions will bring desperately needed air pollution reductions and good jobs. which is particularly important to communities in the Central Valley, who suffer from some of the worst air pollution and highest poverty levels in the country."

"A majority of low income and immigrant Asian American's in California think that climate change is a serious threat to their quality of life. Under the Senate's leadership, and in particular, Pro Tem de León, environmental justice communities are beginning and will continue to see tangible benefits: cleaner air for our children, more economic opportunities for our neighborhoods, and a healthier climate for our planet. SB350 will make all of these real."

"We are enthusiastic and applaud the leadership of Senator de León in proposing these aggressive targets in reducing petroleum fuel usage in California. We know that moving towards a carbon-free transportation, promoting clean alternative options, and enhancing public transit is a win-win strategy that enhances public health and allows Californians to invest their money in their own state as opposed to sending it out to oil companies.

“Once again and alleluia, California is leading the way for the world on clean energy, conservation and efficiency. The folks in Sacramento are showing that CA can give a boost to the economy, put people to work and keep us healthy and safe at the same time. No one is left out of this plan.  It also demonstrates God’s call to serve the poor by addressing the needs of disadvantaged communities. At California Interfaith Power and Light we applaud the Climate Leadership legislation.”

“Smart transportation and energy policies have resulted in California consumers saving money right now, and the savings will continue to grow if we adopt the next generation of low-carbon policies. Sending a strong signal that California is committed to transition fully to a low-carbon economy will help spur the investments we need to get there.”

“Senator De León’s leadership is an important step forward in protecting our environment, economy, and vulnerable communities. This effort to align our state’s policies to reflect our governor’s ambitious goals for renewables, energy efficiency, and petroleum use demonstrates how our leaders are working together to move climate action forward in California.”

“California’s commitment to renewable energy is bringing real jobs and economic development to local communities throughout the state. The solar industry alone employees more people than the state’s utilities combined. By creating a new set of policies to spur development through 2030, California will reap real economic benefits."

"The California Environmental Justice Alliance supports the bold climate policies of the Senate leadership. Low-income communities and communities of color have borne a disproportionate burden of pollution for too long, and these policies will equitably reduce emissions in all communities while bringing good jobs to communities that most need them. California needs a strong renewable energy mandate to get to 50 percent renewable energy by 2030 with a clear roadmap to transition off of fossil fuels."

"Valley CAN applauds Senator De Leon for his visionary stance on climate change. We know from experience the urgent need for community based environmental programs that bring real jobs to disadvantaged communities in the Central Valley."

“Addressing climate change is a significant challenge and represents an important opportunity for California. The adoption of electric vehicles is a key component to reaching our state’s clean air goals and driving the innovation that will bring more high paying jobs to California. ChargePoint looks forward to our continued partnership with California's state legislators to help maintain our leadership position in technology, innovation and environmental stewardship.”
