As part of their transition from East Yard, Taylor sat down with mark! Lopez, Eastside Community Organizer and Special Projects Coordinator, to reflect on their time working together.

From reminiscing about the times they would go to the liquidators to mark! seeing and supporting Taylor's growth as a movement leader, their conversation will have you laughing out loud.

As we reflect on the Boyle Heights Freezer Fire (Lineage Warehouse Fire), struggle with the current shifting moment, and move strategically for the what is to come, what has become clear to us is that the expertise needed to successfully manage the cleanup to come in the health protective ways our communities need is not present at the City or County. We need the City and County to ask for regional, state and federal engagement and potentially intervention. We need the City and County to commit to partnering with community leaders and content experts. Bring us all to the table ASAP because the polluter cannot be trusted to do right by our communities.
