Join us for the Bay Area People's Hearing!
Protect Our Coast and Ocean From Offshore Drilling
Join us on Friday, January 16 for the Bay Area People’s Hearing to protect California from new offshore oil and gas development.
The U.S. Department of Interior is proposing new offshore oil and gas leasing off California and other U.S. regions in the next federal offshore drilling plan. The threats to our community and region from offshore oil and gas development, including potential oil spills, are not worth the risk. Community members are advocating for the protection of our coastline, coastal economy, and a clean energy future.
The event will include an educational presentation from the Surfrider Foundation, comments from elected officials, community leaders, non-profit groups, businesses, and opportunities for public engagement.
Surfrider has stopped offshore oil drilling expansion before. We won because thousands of you spoke up and took a stand. 💪
