Issue Position: Environmental Justice

Issue Position

Regardless of our zip code, we all deserve access to clean air, clean water, and useful green space. Health access is as much about how we take care of our bodies as it is about how we take care of our land.

While on the Board of Trustees for the LACCD, I have championed the integration of sustainable policies and practices in how we build and maintain the facilities at our colleges. I have fought to eliminate the use of toxic products on our campuses and have worked with our construction program to encourage LEED™ standard building practices. Environmental justice is as much about safety as it is about equity.

As your Assemblymember, I will fight to make sure that we contain and eliminate the toxic hazards that complicate our ability to live healthy lives.
