Tri-Valley Polluters Pay Town Hall | Funding Climate Resilience

Big Oil and gas corporations have been profiting while our communities pay the price. But together, we can make a difference! Join us in Dublin on June 6 for the Tri-Valley Polluters Pay Town Hall—an energizing morning of inspiration, action, and community as we flip the script.

From devastating fires and floods to extreme heat and more intense storms, climate change is here, and the costs are only rising for Californians statewide. The world’s biggest fossil fuel polluters are overwhelmingly responsible for this intensifying climate devastation, but right now, it’s taxpayers and families struggling to rebuild who are footing the bill. We’ve paid enough!

The Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act would hold major fossil fuel companies accountable for their share of climate-related damages to our state and reinvest that money in community resilience, clean energy, essential workers responding to climate disasters, and much more.

Discover, Connect, and Take Action

At the Tri-Valley Polluters Pay Town Hall, join neighbors, advocates, and experts for an energizing morning of community, stories, and climate solutions.

Meet two local high school students, representatives from 350 Contra Costa, water experts, climate insiders, emergency responders, unions and professional groups, faith leaders, and members of the agricultural community—all coming together to share their stories and solutions.
