“One of my first vivid memories was actually being in a stroller, being pushed across one of the bridges that goes from Boyle Heights into downtown L.A.,” said mark! Lopez, Gutierrez’s grandson. “It was a protest march and my grandma was one of the leaders that organized the march.”

No flashy announcement. Tough leader. Shrewd negotiator. Big heart.
That’s Xavier Becerra.

Back in 2018, CA Attorney General Xavier Becerra tapped me to establish a force of attorneys would back up and protect environmental justice communities.
@jmijin.bsky.social captures one of the first battles the EJ Bureau took up alongside @leadershipcounsel.bsky.social in Fresno.
I was so happy to find you here
👊🏾
Mayor Gurrola was taking heat from all over. Then CA Attorney General Xavier Becerra chipped in to flank the community with this letter…taking preemption arguments off the table. www.oag.ca.gov/system/files...
Really appreciate @jmijin.bsky.social lifting up the City of Arvin’s fight for a new oil well setback ordinance in new book “A Just Transition For All”. Truly sparked a statewide movement.
The team at CDC just pushed out an update that adds a climate module and some very cool county/census tract reports.
When I was at HHS I worked with CDC to develop the Environmental Justice Index (EJI). It’s the first national, place-based tool designed to measure the cumulative impacts of environmental burden through the lens of human health and health equity.

Here’s a short film “Burning Injustice” documenting the struggle.

The last trash incinerator in California closed for good today.
My community fought like hell to shut it down.
I’m here at #bluesky to follow the everlasting pursuit toward environmental justice and share stories from communities like my own.
