Dear Camarillo City Councilmembers,
My name is Kathryn Masci, and I am a longtime Camarillo resident, mother, and business owner. I am writing to urge the Camarillo City Council to vote in support of passing this resolution, Agenda Item R, to phase out fossil fuels, defend safety setbacks, hold polluters accountable, and demonstrate the city’s commitment to uplifting youth voices.
I care about the environment and our health and safety. My daughter cares deeply about our environment and has worked with climate organizations across the state to advocate for a clean energy future. She has been fighting for health and safety setbacks for over four years, and I have seen her work with many community members on this important need. Now that SB1137 is law, the City Council must show that it supports these setbacks so we can protect more people from the harmful impacts of living near oil and gas facilities.
I want to live in a Camarillo that listens to the voice of young people and people who care about our fellow community members and the environment. I hope that the City Council sees that what our young people like my daughter are fighting for is worth it and will benefit all people in the community. Please approve Agenda Item R, the CFROG youth climate resolution, and stand with our youth like I am doing.
Thank you,
Kathryn Masci
