Take action to protect them. It will only take a minute.
Dear Friend of Los Cerritos Wetlands, With your help, AB 2552 passed out of the California State Assembly on May 23—thank you to all who wrote and called. Now the bill is headed to its first State Senate committee hearing on June 19. And we need your voices again, especially as this bill has faced stiff opposition from pesticide corporations and other industry advocates. AB 2522 will close the loopholes on anticoagulants in California by adding chlorophacinone and warfarin (the remaining “first generation” anticoagulants) to the existing rodenticide moratorium established by AB 1788 and AB 1322. The bill also adds a buffer zone around wildlife habitat and makes it easier to report violations of these laws. Click here to read an overview of this proposed legislation, provided by the Animal Legal Defense Fund. Local State Senator (and Senate Majority Leader), Lena Gonzalez, is a proven champion for the environment and is on the Senate Environmental Quality Committee. Please contact Senator Gonzalez and ask her to support AB 2552. Tell her that voting yes on AB 2552 closes the loopholes on anticoagulants and protects local wildlife, including those that live within the Los Cerritos Wetlands. Thanks for making a difference Elizabeth Lambe Executive Director Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust |
