Citizens declare “Independence from Oil and Coal” at July 4 Rally in Hollywood
(Los Angeles, CA) – This July 4, Sierra Club volunteers and environmental activists will stage a rally at the
Hollywood Bowl to call for “independence from oil and coal.” Those in attendance at the rally will ask for
President Obama to back-up his June 15 commitment to “act with the sense of urgency that this challenge
requires” and develop a plan that will move America beyond oil in the next 20 years. Citizens at the event
will rally in support of clean energy and call for an end to offshore drilling and Los Angeles’ coal-fired
power generation.

BACKGROUND: Los Angeles gets a disappointingly high 44% of its power from coal-fired power plants
located in Arizona and Utah, which are among the worst stationary sources of pollution
in the United States. Coal-fired power plants are poisoning the people that live near
them by polluting the air and water. Pollution from coal-fired power plants is also a
major contributor to the catastrophic climate change which causes problems (including
wildfires and drought) that directly affect families in Los Angeles.
