Subject: Clean Energy
Honorable Mayor and Council,
The NAACP has been fighting for clean energy and clean communities for 60 years.
The local San Luis Obispo chapter of the NAACP is fully in support of the city’s efforts to
reduce pollution and create greater access to clean, affordable energy for residents,
and any report that we are opposed to tonight’s Clean Energy Choice for new Buildings
measure is false. This appears to be a rumor being spread by a DC lobbyist firm
representing the oil and gas industry and does not represent our position.
We appreciate the steps the city is taking on racial and environmental justice, from
working to create healthier homes & buildings to declaring racism a public health crisis.
We are opposed to efforts to stoke divisions in our community and look forward to
working with partners throughout the community on common issues.
Stephen Vines
President
San Luis Obispo NAACP
