Coalition Advocating for Pesticide Safety- Tulare County

Coalition Advocating for Pesticide Safety- Tulare County A coalition of Tulare County organizations advocating for healthier communities in California's central valley. We are advocating for a one mile buffer zone.

Formerly known as El Quinto Sol de America's Healthy Kids Zone program, Coalition Advocating for Pesticide Safety-Tulare County is a coalition of non-profits, community advocates, community leaders and residents who are demanding more for the people of the San Joaquin Valley and for California. The California Department of Pesticide Regulation has proposed a quarter mile buffer zone from schools,

daycares and labor camps against the application of the most restricted pesticides, but this is not enough. Pesticides have been linked to respiratory illness, cancers, and cognitive and behavioral developmental disorders. The DPR is not considering the long term effects of pesticides on residents of California. DPR, raise the bar.

Thank you to everyone who joined our CAPS Community Meeting yesterday!

We had grate conversations on pesticide safety, walked through how to sign up for the new SprayDays notification system, and explored ways to make our meetings more accessible through Zoom.

We also heard important updates on local immigration enforcement, discussed new campaigns to protect our communities, especially around schools, colleges, and urban areas in Tulare County.

Our voices, ideas, and presence continue to guide this movement. We’re grateful for the communities commitment to environmental justice and farmworker protections.
