On July 14, we have the opportunity to talk about an issue that’s impacted all of us: climate change. For the first time in history, the California Air Resources Board will host a public workshop in Barrio Logan to openly discuss the effects of climate change on our communities, and it’s up to us to share our stories and make our voices heard.
What we want the Air Resources Board to know:
- Our communities are hit first and worst by the impacts of climate change
- Air pollution increases our risk of health problems like cancer, asthma and other respiratory illnesses
- Harmful toxic pollution from transportation, shipyards and other industries should be strictly regulated
- Our neighborhoods need better access to renewable energy
- We need better transit, biking and walking options instead of bigger freeways
What happens next?
The Air Resources Board hosts several more workshops in neighborhoods of color across California and uses community input to revise state laws on climate change and update the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. Our job is to ensure new regulations prioritize neighborhoods hit first and worst by climate change.
Are you in?
Invite your friends, family and neighbors to attend this history-making workshop to make your voice heard for environmental justice.
Thursday, July 14 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. at Cesar E. Chavez Campus – San Diego Continuing Education, 1901 Main Street, San Diego, 92113.
