This past Saturday, Center on Race, Poverty & the Environment joined East Yard on a toxic tour of Long Beach. East Yard staff and members explained the impacts of the Port of Long Beach and Los Angeles on local health impacts, the fight against the Southern California International Gateway rail yard project, and local oil & gas production. Members of CRPE were able to learn about the cumulative impacts in the LA basin from different industries and deepen their connections to frontline communities in LA. Many of the development and oil and gas production in the Central Valley is directly tied to the increase in growth from the ports, so as they continue to fight against harmful developments in their communities, we are able to build solidarity and collaborate across regions.

While getting a close-up look at the Port of Los Angeles at Wilmington Waterfront Park, community members put up a balloon banner calling attention to the Alameda Corridor. East Yard has been advocating to electrify the Alameda Corridor to reduce emissions in the area and remove trucks from local streets and the 710.

With our communities at risk from the Lineage fire/chemical disaster, we’ve had to step up to monitor air quality, test water quality, conduct a public health study, and advocate for the protections and resources we need. Join us Saturday, November 14, 9:30-2:30pm (location tba) to learn the results of our studies, understand the impacts, and come together to develop an action plan for our communities! Registration opening soon.

¡RESERVA LA FECHA!

Ante el riesgo que enfrentan nuestras comunidades debido al desastre químico provocado por el incendio en Lineage, hemos tenido que tomar la iniciativa para monitorear la calidad del aire, analizar la calidad del agua, realizar un estudio de salud pública y abogar por las protecciones y los recursos que necesitamos. ¡Acompáñanos el sábado 14 de noviembre, de 9:30 a. m. a 2:30 p. m. (lugar por confirmar), para conocer los resultados de nuestros estudios, comprender los impactos y trabajar juntos en la elaboración de un plan de acción para nuestras comunidades! Próximamente abriremos el registro.

Long Beach’s Just Cause protections are falling behind neighboring cities that have taken steps to keep renters housed and prevent displacement 🏡

Residents are now calling on the City to strengthen tenant protections and close the loopholes that leave renters vulnerable to unjust evictions.

✊🏽Add your voice to the campaign by sending a letter to your Council Member, urging them to:

✔️Eliminate "Substantial Remodel” as grounds for eviction
✔️Establish a reasonable nonpayment threshold
✔️Adopt “Universal Just Cause” protections
✔️Match County relocation assistance

Together, we can ensure that housing remains a human right for all residents!

Las protecciones de Causa Justa de Long Beach se están quedando atrás en comparación con las ciudades vecinas que ya han tomado medidas para mantener a los inquilinos en sus hogares y prevenir el desplazamiento 🏡

Ahora, residentes están exigiendo que la Ciudad fortalezca las protecciones para inquilinos y cierre las lagunas legales que dejan a las familias vulnerables a desalojos injustos.

✊🏽Súmate a la campaña enviando una carta a tu concejal para pedir que:

✔️Se elimine la “Remodelación Sustancial” como motivo de desalojo
✔️Se establezca un umbral razonable para el incumplimiento de pago de renta
✔️Se adopten protecciones universales de Causa Justa para todas las personas inquilinas
✔️Se iguale la asistencia de reubicación a los estándares del Condado

¡Juntos podemos garantizar que la vivienda siga siendo un derecho humano para todas las personas residentes!

The South Coast Air Quality Management District is hosting a Public Workshop on the rulemaking process of PR 1495, which will place new regulations on all commodity fumigation facilities in the district. Methyl bromide is a toxic chemical used to kill pests on produce coming through the ports, and these facilities are placed in the communities of West Long Beach, Compton, and San Pedro, producing further harm to residents already impacted by other sources of industrial pollution. Join us in demanding that SCAQMD implement best management practices at these facilities, adequate monitoring, and accountability mechanisms to ensure our communities are prioritized.

El Distrito de Gestión de la Calidad del Aire de la Costa Sur organiza un taller público sobre el proceso de elaboración de la normativa PR 1495, que establecerá nuevas regulaciones para todas las instalaciones de fumigación de productos básicos del distrito. El bromuro de metilo es una sustancia química tóxica que se utiliza para eliminar las plagas de los productos agrícolas que llegan a los puertos, y estas instalaciones están ubicadas en las comunidades de West Long Beach, Compton y San Pedro, lo que supone un daño adicional para los residentes, que ya se ven afectados por otras fuentes de contaminación industrial. Únete a nosotros para exigir que la SCAQMD aplique las mejores prácticas de gestión en estas instalaciones, así como un control adecuado y mecanismos de rendición de cuentas que garanticen que se dé prioridad a nuestras comunidades.
