Support SB 1054 and AB 2329 to Advocate for California Electrification for Health
California State Representatives Chris Holden (District 41) and Eloise Gomez Reyes (District 50)
Signing this petition is important for improving public health, combating climate change, and advancing environmental justice. By supporting SB 1054 and AB 2329, you advocate for measures that reduce household air pollution, promote cleaner energy sources, and create healthier living environments for all Californians. Transitioning to zero-carbon-emitting appliances not only mitigates the impacts of climate change but also fosters environmental justice by assisting vulnerable communities in accessing clean energy solutions. In addition, these bills address the root causes of respiratory illnesses, cardiovascular diseases, and other health complications linked to indoor air pollution. Specifically, by reducing emissions of harmful pollutants like carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides, these bills aim to decrease the rates of respiratory infections, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma exacerbations, and even lung cancer.
Your signature on this petition empowers youth advocacy, amplifies our voices for legislative change, and contributes to building a sustainable future.

[Your Name]
As a concerned citizen from California and advocate for public health and environmental sustainability, I am writing to express my strong support for Senate Bill 1054 (SB 1054) and Assembly Bill 2329 (AB 2329). These bills, aimed at reducing household air pollution and promoting the electrification of buildings, represent crucial steps towards creating cleaner and healthier living environments for all Californians.
Household air pollution poses a significant threat to public health, particularly impacting vulnerable populations such as low-income families. In California, residential gas appliances contribute significantly to indoor and outdoor air pollution, emitting harmful pollutants like carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. These pollutants not only degrade air quality but also pose serious health risks such as respiratory infections and lung cancer, especially for individuals with respiratory conditions and cardiovascular diseases.
SB 1054, the Climate Pollution Reduction in Homes Initiative, and AB 2329, establishing the California Affordable Decarbonization Authority, are essential legislative measures designed to address these health complications. By promoting the electrification of buildings and providing financial assistance for zero-carbon-emitting appliances, these bills aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve indoor air quality, and protect public health, particularly in low-income communities disproportionately affected by energy costs and poor air quality.
Please vote yes on SB 1054 and AB 2329 to prioritize the health and well-being of Californians and to advance our state toward a cleaner, more sustainable future.
