I would like to take this time to comment on recent EJAC meetings
that have taken place around the State and in which I was not
informed of nor invited to attend any of them. Climate change is of
the upmost importance to the Conservation Corps given that we work
to ensure that our children are given opportunities and have a
clean environment to live in. When it came to my attention that
there had been a meeting in San Bernardino I began to question the
type of outreach that was conducted and how the EJAC staff
determined whom they would target to attend. I would also like to
know why there weren’t any EJAC meetings held in the San Gabriel
Valley? Moving forward I would like to see more outreach done to
communities that are impacted by these policies so that we can
voice our concerns and share our ideas. Climate change is a very
complicated and multi-faceted issue and I believe EVERYONE impacted
(businesses, community members, non-profit organizations,
residents, students, etc) should have a seat at the table.
