Graphic. Text reads, “Major California pension funds, CalPERS or CalSTRS, invest in companies that have thousands of oil and gas wells throughout the state. To demand accountability, Fossil Free California has launched an interactive map to show where CalPERS and CalSTRS funding is linked to wells in your community.” Below that is a screenshot of the interactive map. At bottom text reads, fossilfreeca.org/map. At bottom right is the logo for Fossil Free California.
Graphic. Text reads, “Despite legislation being passed in 2022 that enacted a mandatory 3,200 foot buffer zone between oil drilling and California schools and communities, this law hasn‘t taken effect due to intense lobbying by the fossil fuel industry. This allowed almost 700 additional permits for fossil fuel operations to be granted within buffer zones in 2023.” Below that are screenshots of the interactive map showing blue circles for the 3,200 foot buffer zone.

Graphic. Text reads: Fossil fuel practices like oil drilling are not only contributing to the climate crisis but they are also subjecting communities on the frontlines of drilling to negative health impacts. Public health impacts include: • Disease: asthma, cancer, liver damage, immunodeficiency, and neurological symptoms. • Pregnancy complications • Air pollution • Water contamination • Mental health effects Inactive, idle or "zombie" oil wells are an under-reported risk across California that carry many similar impacts. At bottom, picture of an oil derrick. Below, text reads, fossilfreeca.org/map.
Graphic. Text reads: Take action. Want CalPERS and CaISTRS to know it's unacceptable to continue funding the companies that are drilling up and down the state of California? Take action by emailing your Assemblymember: fossilfreeca.org/email Background is people holding signs calling on California’s public pensions to divest.
Did you know that there are over 96,000 oil wells in California that either have been or are currently being funded by CalPERS and CalSTRS?
