California Senate Majority Leader Lena Gonzalez has called on Dodgers owner Mark Walter to terminate sponsorships with oil and gas firms, emphasizing the detrimental impact on community health and air quality. Recently exacerbated by wildfires, fossil fuel pollution has raised significant concerns about climate change in the region. Activists have joined the call for action, spurred by public campaigns against the affiliations with companies like Phillips 66, which prominently advertises at Dodger Stadium. California is also pursuing legal action against major oil corporations for climate damages, accusing them of a long history of misleading the public.
"Continuing to associate these corporations with our beloved boys in blue is not in our community or the planet's best interest."
"Fossil fuel pollution is responsible for not only the climate crisis, but also the persistently harmful air quality in the region."
