Campaign for a Safe and Healthy California Releases New Report Exposing $11 Million Dark Money Ad Campaign by Big Oil
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Jan. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today the Campaign for a Safe and Healthy California (CSHC) released a report showing that more than $11 million in ads were funded by Big Oil in 2023, in an attempt to undermine a new law (SB 1137) that helps protect California communities from toxic oil drilling. Chevron gave nearly $6 million to a third-party, Californians for Energy Independence, which then fronted the ad campaign.
- The CSHC coalition is calling for transparency to ensure voters know exactly who is paying for the deceptive ads.
- "Though we expect this kind of big money bullying and deception from Big Oil, we will not tolerate it," said Martha Dina Argüello, Executive Director, Physicians for Social Responsibility- Los Angeles.
- Our campaign does not need to hide in the dark with dubious campaign tactics like Big Oil.
