Lot Essay

Art for a Safe and Healthy California is a collaboration presented by Jane Fonda in partnership with Christie’s and Gagosian.

The Campaign for a Safe and Healthy California is a coalition of community groups, doctors, health professionals, California leaders, and now artists taking a stand together in an epic fight against Big Oil to protect California neighborhoods from toxic oil and gas well pollution (www.CaVsBigOil.com). The oil industry has already spent $53 million so far to be able to keep drilling for oil in California neighborhoods, and is currently spending more than $500,000 per week. For more than a century, oil companies have profited from drilling for oil in California without reasonable safety regulations in place to prevent the spread of toxic air and water pollution. This has resulted in millions of Californians exposed to harmful environmental threats all while in the perceived safety of their own homes—most of which are in low-income communities, and disproportionately affect people of color. Today, nearly thirty thousand oil and gas wells in California are within 3,200 feet of homes, schools, hospitals and other sensitive areas, exposing over 2 million Californians to these dangerous conditions.
