Program areas at SCOPE

The City of LA will phase out oil drilling. Frontline communities win! This ordinance is a victory by & for frontline communities, for environmental justice, for cleaner air & our climate, and for the entire City's health. The win to phase out oil wells was historic, and proof that with solidarity, we can fight systemic racism embedded in our City's laws.L.A city council members unanimously approved an ordinance that will require all new buildings in the city to be fully electric, effective in January. That means no more gas-powered stoves, heaters or gas hookups for new construction. This accomplishment moves Los Angeles closer to achieving zero-emissions and improving the health outcomes for South LA residents.Pushed for justice at LADWP & launched the campaign to stop utility shutoffs.
