CAC worked for over a year (2023-24) with air scientists and Whittier College students to monitor the chemicals of concern in the air we breathe. We identified chronic exposures to toxins on almost a daily basis. This is evidence we will use to spur action by state regulatory agencies and local governments to mitigate or eliminate these threats to public health. Our community lacks comprehensive air monitoring, despite living with significant pollution challenges from many different sources: freeways, railways, warehouses, industrial manufacturing, and trash disposal facilities. We demand environmental justice!

Enforcement is often initiated by a call to action. A complaint, a concern expressed, a dangerous situation or a flat-out demand for action can prevent catastrophe’s from occurring in our ground zero communities. This panel showed how community voices have raised their voices and taken direct actions to protect their communities where public protections have failed them. OUR CALL-TO-ACTION TODAY IS TO GET INVOLVED. This workshop was conducted in Spanish to amplify the additional struggle of language justice.
