hides pollution risks from you.
Bankrolled by developers and corporations, Prop 45 limits environmental and public review that helps reduce pollution before projects are built. It makes it easier to fast-track polluting projects – sticking you with the cleanup bill.
A loophole in Prop 45 lets developers fast-track polluting projects with less review and less oversight — sticking you with the cleanup bill. Vote NO.
LESS REVIEW. LESS OVERSIGHT.
For families living near polluting projects, environmental review is often their only defense against more asthma, contaminated water and pollution. You have the right to know what’s being built next door — and to protect your family.

Who is behind Prop 45?
Corporate PACs funded by developers, corporations and utilities spent millions to put Prop 45 on the ballot. Their reason is simple: Prop 45 limits the environmental and public review that makes them reduce their pollution before they build. They pollute more and profit more, and taxpayers get stuck with the cleanup.
THEY POLLUTE. YOU PAY.

POLLUTION HAS A PRICE.
PROTECT CALIFORNIA COMMUNITIES
As the Trump Administration rolls back protections for clean air and clean water, public lands and wildlife, it’s more important than ever for California to step up and defend the laws that keep our communities safe. Voting no on Prop 45 protects our air, water, land and wildlife habitat.

THE CONSEQUENCES OF PROP 45
“Prop 45 makes it harder for communities to protect themselves from polluting projects that threaten clean air.”
“Prop 45 will increase costs for taxpayers while doing nothing to lower housing prices, utility bills or other costs for consumers. It leaves taxpayers picking up the tab for pollution cleanup while corporations profit.”
“Pollution can mean more asthma, breathing problems, and emergency room visits for families living near polluting projects. We should address those health risks before projects are built, not weaken the protections that help prevent them.”
