The Los Angeles City Council voted yesterday (1/26) 14-0 to pass a motion to begin the process of phasing out oil drilling citywide and provide a just transition to impacted workers. There is still work to do to ensure the phase-out and clean-up, but the vote today was historic and came after over a decade of community organizing. 
 
STANDLA, a coalition of frontline communities impacted by oil drilling, led this work, and Sierra Club proudly supported it.
