#ElectrifyWarehouses Social Media Toolkit
Join us on Twitter as we push the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) to implement a strong Indirect Source Rule (ISR) which will electrify warehouses in Southern California!
Below are tweets linking to videos, articles, and graphics the My Generation Campaign has produced to fight warehouse and truck pollution in Southern California over the last few years. Please share this content and show your support for all-electric warehouses and zero-emissions trucks!
[VIDEO] A Journey to Clean Air-- Curbing Warehouse Pollution tweets:
The @SouthCoastAQMD board needs to VOTE YES on a strong warehouse Indirect Source Rule! It will save lives, clean up the toxic air, and protect the lungs of our children living nearby trucks and warehouses. #ElectrifyWarehouses https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=013GBcA_hQ0
Southern California is a land full of incomparable beauty & diversity. But in this great beauty lies an even greater crisis, invisible to our eyes. Air pollution from trucks & warehouses poisons our air. The solution? @SouthCoastAQMD adopting a #StrongISR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=013GBcA_hQ0
We've heard claims that "the air district hasn’t shown air pollution levels are elevated near warehouses” from industry members at @SouthCoastAQMD's board meetings... So we captured that air pollution for them on an infrared camera. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=013GBcA_hQ0
With a #StrongISR, @SouthCoastAQMD can #ElectrifyWarehouses & protect the health of frontline SoCal communities living near warehouses & trucks. We urge @_DelgadoVanessa @SupVMPerez @RexRichardson @GKracov @JoeBuscaino @SheilaKuehl to pass this rule now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=013GBcA_hQ0
[ARTICLE] Amazon’s warehouse boom linked to health hazards in America’s most polluted region tweets:
“We’re dealing with smoggy summers that are getting worse and worse. We’re sick of getting alerts that say avoid being outside … because of dirty air. This is not normal,” said @MyGenerationSC organizer @Yassi_lovely. #ElectrifyWarehouses @SouthCoastAQMD https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/apr/15/amazon-warehouse-boom-inland-empire-pollution
“We have an immensely profitable industry that’s become even more profitable during the pandemic, & now environmental & community groups & regulators are saying it’s time to clean up your pollution & stop making us suffer from it,” said @LASmogGuy. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/apr/15/amazon-warehouse-boom-inland-empire-pollution
"@amazon has boomed in 2020 and tripled the amount of money it’s making, and it is happening at a cost to the folks who live in these communities,” said @itMECHICA, a @PC4EJ environmental science researcher and analyst. #ElectrifyWarehouses https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/apr/15/amazon-warehouse-boom-inland-empire-pollution
.@ahndrayuhhh on warehouses popping up right across from schools in the Inland Empire: "You put something so dangerous by a vulnerable population like kids … I didn’t realize there were so many. It almost feels endemic.” @SouthCoastAQMD @guardian https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/apr/15/amazon-warehouse-boom-inland-empire-pollution
[VIDEO] Southern California Deserves Clean Air Now tweets:
With extreme industrial growth & little regulation, SoCal has failed to meet minimum federal standards for 30 yrs– leading to higher rates of asthma & heart disease in the communities nearby. @SouthCoastAQMD, the time to take a stand for #cleanair is now! https://youtu.be/7LR6oQDU2Qk
Southern California has the worst air quality in the nation because of gas & diesel trucks that carry our cargo in & out of the state. @SouthCoastAQMD has the responsibility & authority to protect our health & clean up our air. Our communities can't wait! https://youtu.be/7LR6oQDU2Qk
[VIDEO] Protect Californians by Supporting Zero Emissions Trucks and Warehouses tweets:

Inland Empire warehouses emit filthy air & cause serious health problems for nearby working-class communities of color. @_DelgadoVanessa @SupVMPerez @RexRichardson @GKracov @JoeBuscaino @SheilaKuehl: Communities depend on you to create a #StrongISR https://youtu.be/bxijXZRHAgI
[VIDEO] Online Shopping Impacts California's Air tweets:
The highly-profitable & highly-polluting logistics industry must clean up their own mess. @SouthCoastAQMD: Hold this powerful industry accountable. #ElectrifyWarehouses & create a #StrongISR now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fv-EylAcg4Q

Electrifying SoCal warehouses is key to curbing harmful emissions & cleaning the air that neighboring communities breathe. This isn't a "nice-to-have"— it's an urgent public health necessity. @SouthCoastAQMD: Strengthen & implement the ISR Rule! https://t.co/6i3pZU6PYI
