Cutting pollution at the port, preventing homelessness, and meeting up in person

We're happy to announce a series of picnics to meet and catch up in person now that covid cases are rapidly declining! -- on the Eastside (2/26), San Fernando Valley (3/12), and Westside (3/26).

Plus we hope you'll join us for zoom meetings to strategize about winning a homelessness prevention ballot measure (2/23) and a teach-in about preventing pollution (3/1) at the massive Port of Los Angeles. More details on those below, but before you go any further, we're excited to share the second installment of our member spotlight.

Learn and Take Action

House LA Brainstorm and Strategy Session - Weds, Feb 23 @ 8:00 PM

Teach-In: Preventing Pollution at the Port  - Tues, Mar 1 @ 8:00 PM

LA has the biggest port in country and its a massive source of pollution and greenhouse gases. Ships idling in the port have recently caused record-breaking levels of air pollution. Learn about how we can get involved to fight climate change and improve our air quality while ensuring a just transition for workers and frontline communities.
