WE ARE SO CLOSE! #SB497 has passed its final vote in the legislature and now heads to @CAgovernor. This bill will strengthen retaliation protections for workers who report labor or equal pay violations and ensure that workers who speak out have adequate protections.

The ink is barely dry on the #ACF, which will cut harmful diesel pollution, and already oil + gas interests are leveraging their #CALeg advocates to undermine this life-saving standard! We're joining 50+ orgs in calling on the CA leg to #StopDieselDeath: https://t.co/7SQKEN3d1I
