We need your help! When you head to the polls one week from today – Tuesday, June 3rd – please show your support for the environment and vote no on Proposition 98.

The goal of Proposition 98 is to severely limit California's ability to protect our open spaces, wildlife habitat, and water and air quality. It also will undermine the state's groundbreaking limits on global warming pollution.

This year there's a new and dangerous twist: in addition to limiting environmental protections, Prop 98 eliminates rent control, making it easier for landlords (who are providing over 80% of the funding for Proposition 98!) to evict people from their homes.

Many of those threatened by this measure are low-income or elderly residents.

The thinking behind Prop 98 is not new. Every year there's a fresh attack on California's groundbreaking and innovative environmental policies, despite Californians' strong support for them. Historically, Californians have wisely voted to defeat similar, harmful measures.

Homeowners' rights need to be protected but so does the environment. That's why Environmental Defense Fund and hundreds of other groups support Prop 99.

Prop 99 protects homeowners without threatening the environment or public health. Vote yes on 99.

On June 3rd, please Vote NO on Proposition 98 and YES on Proposition 99.

Please tell your California family, friends and colleagues to do the same!

Thanks in advance,
