The short explanation of this alert was:

One final push for SB 974!

SB 974 is on its way to the Governor's desk but major industry and business interests in California continue to fight hard against this important legislation, including the retail and shipping industry and a long list of companies that do business at the ports - so it’s important to make your voice heard now!

Diesel pollution has been declared a toxic air contaminant by the state and has been linked to asthma attacks, increased hospitalizations, heart attacks and strokes. And worse yet, according to the California Air Resources Board, pollution from our ports cause 3,800 premature deaths every year with a disproportionate number of those impacted being low-income communities of color.

The Port Investment Bill will establish a fee on each container processed through the ports, with dollars raised going to programs designed to reduce port pollution.

We are so close! Please take action today and urge a friend, colleague or family member to do the same! This bill is vital to the health or all Californians and in particular, those that live closets to the ports.
