Our environment is slowly deteriorating because of our presence, and in California environmental protections are among some of the worst. When you take a deep breath or drink water, you usually don’t have to think about the quality, but clean water and fresh air is not accessible to everyone. Asthma is a prevalent issue in and around Los Angeles. Residents may notice the smog filled air but are so accustomed to it that it hardly raises concern. That air pollution is what’s causing asthma and other breathing conditions to increase at a rapid rate among citizens of Los Angeles. Areas like San Bernardino county are facing challenges when it comes to access to clean tap water. With our amendment, clean air and clean water won’t be a luxury only for rich neighborhoods in California. We aim to make clean air and water a human right and make it accessible to all people in California. Safe water to drink and good air to breathe should be a right, not a commodity. From the beaches of San Diego to the busy Streets of San Francisco and beyond, every Californian should know about this amendment. This impacts all of us, and it is your right to have a clean environment to call home.

Here in California we have a lot of environmental protections other states don’t. They really help the people and natural environment to be healthier and happier here. But there are a lot of places in the state where air and water pollution are huge problems. All over the state there are pockets with extremely bad air quality, giving hundreds asthma, making them sick more often, causing cancer rates to exceed the norm, and even shorten people’s lives! Same with water, there are many places in the state where the water that should be clean for people to drink and wildlife to use is so polluted it causes serious diseases and health problems. There are places like San Bernardino county where the tap water is of such poor quality people have to avoid drinking it whenever possible. That’s why there is a potential solution coming up in a proposed amendment to the California state constitution. It could make it so all these pollutants are made illegal, forcing those with power to be rid their harmful business practices and improve California. This amendment will literally save lives, but not enough Californians know about it. That’s why we want to spread the word as much as possible before November when the vote happens. We want as many people to be aware of it and to know why supporting it helps them and their communities.

The California Constitution declares various inalienable rights of the people. The right to enjoy and defend life and liberty, to acquire, possess, and protect property, and to pursue and obtain safety, happiness, and privacy. These are things that cannot be taken away from us. This measure would amend the California Constitution to declare that the people have the right to clean air and water and a healthy environment. The people shall have the right to clean air and water and a healthy environment. The people must have the right to a clean air and water and a healthy environment
