Martha Dina Argüello, Executive Director of Physicians for Social Responsibility Los Angeles, stressed neighborhoods will have to brace themselves if nothing is done.

“We are facing unprecedented health burdens and costs as a result of the climate crisis,” Dina Argüello said. “Worse, the communities that suffer the most are shouldering these burdens while fossil fuel companies, who directly contributed to the crisis, continue their extractive and toxic business as usual. It’s time to hold them accountable … That’s why we’re here in Sacramento today, advocating for the Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Bill. We need the State to fund equitable and resilient projects for frontline communities, and not to be complicit in the harm caused by Big Oil.”
