Vote Yes on Proposition 4 on November 5!
We all have a chance to make a difference for the climate on November 5! Proposition 4 was designed to make investments to both reduce the state’s greenhouse gas footprint and address the climate impacts we’re already feeling. Proposition 4 doesn’t just invest in clean energy. It also invests funds to deal with our increasingly frequent droughts, mitigate wildfire hazards and address sea level rise.
It’s a tough ask to support a bond during a state budget shortfall. But that’s the very reason this bond is needed. Funding for these investments had to be cut to balance the budget - but the need continues, and the longer we wait to invest, the more costly those investments become.
Of course, Clean Water Action is thrilled that the bond has $610 million for safe drinking water and $386 million to support groundwater sustainability. We’ve been working for decades to ensure that every Californian has safe drinking water and this will really help! Groundwater sustainability is also hugely important; groundwater is our drought insurance policy and the more dry years we have, the more stressed our groundwater supplies become. This funding will allow local groundwater agencies to invest in groundwater recharge projects, implement demand reduction actions and assist those who may lose access to shallow well supplies.
We’re proud to support Proposition 4, and hope that you’ll join us in supporting this important bond Learn more about Proposition 4!
