Off-Shore Oil Drilling Opposition Press Conference
October 29 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Join Save Our Shores to oppose new offshore oil drilling along the CA coast!
The Houston Chronicle obtained leaked documents that the Trump Administration plans new offshore oil drilling off California’s coast, possibly with no environmental review and diminished public input. Presidential executive orders and legislation have also authorized seabed mining for rare earths and precious minerals, with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) regulating it in US federal waters.
Save Our Shores and Santa Cruz County elected leaders are fighting back, join us to stand up for our coast and hear from your local representatives!
