Pollution affects us all, but those who bear the brunt of asthma, respiratory disease and cancer from environmental contaminants are most often low-income communities of color.
The effects of this pollution are profound. Children with asthma stay home and fall behind at school. Parents miss days of work or develop illnesses that make it impossible for them to work.
The Environmental Justice Movement, in which Liberty Hill has played a lead role for more than a decade, seeks to ensure that every Angeleno can live, work and play in a healthy environment.
