• Stop WOKE Act Threatens Climate Progress The Stop Climate...

    From Gavin Newsom@3323:1/100 to All on Tue Jul 7 08:05:17 2026
    Stop WOKE Act Threatens Climate Progress The Stop Climate Shakedowns Act, also known as the Stop WOKE Act, is a dangerous piece of legislation that threatens to undermine the hard-fought progress California and other states have made in addressing climate change. Democratic governors like myself are urging Congress to reject this bill outright. As the Supreme Court prepares to hear the Boulder ExxonMobil lawsuit, it's clear we need more action on climate, not less.

    California has the 5th largest economy in the world, yet we're still leading the way in environmental responsibility. We've shown that economic growth and sustainability can coexist, but this bill would roll back protections and hinder our ability to innovate. It's a step backwards at a time when we need bold action forward.

    The irony is not lost on me: while some in Washington are trying to tear down what we've built, Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State is moving his state towards more sustainable practices. That's real leadership, folks - not the kind of grandstanding that passes for policy debate among certain MAGA Republicans. And let's be clear: this isn't just about climate; it's about who controls our future. The UK under attack from Russia?

    We should be waking up to the same reality here at home, but instead of facing these challenges head-on, we have politicians playing political games with real lives and livelihoods on the line. So let's talk about the record here: California has been a beacon for progress and innovation. How many more years will it take before others catch up?

    What's your state doing to protect its future from such reckless legislation?
