| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: | BUILDING POWER & THE FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY AT PSR-LA, 2022 WAS A YEAR OF SUCCESSFUL COALITION BUILDING AND COMMUNITY MOVEMENT TO ADVOCATE FOR MORE ROBUST, TRANSFORMATIVE POLICIES. FOR THE LAST 40 YEARS, PSR-LA HAS ADVOCATED FOR POLICIES AND PRACTICES THAT IMPROVE PUBLIC HEALTH, ELIMINATE NUCLEAR AND ENVIRONMENTAL THREATS, AND ADDRESS HEALTH DISPARITIES. BUT THIS YEAR, AS THE WORLD CONTINUES TO CHANGE IN WAYS WE COULD NEVER IMAGINE, THE NEED FOR COMMUNITY-LED MOVEMENTS HAS NEVER BEEN MORE NECESSARY. IN OUR QUEST FOR ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, WE ARE NOT JUST FIGHTING FOR HEALTHIER COMMUNITIES, WE ARE FIGHTING FOR A HEALTHY DEMOCRACY. THIS YEAR, PSR-LA FOSTERED COMMUNITY AND PEOPLE POWER TO ACHIEVE FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE. AS OUR TEAM OF FORMIDABLE ADVOCATES WORKED TO IMPROVE PUBLIC HEALTH, ELIMINATE NUCLEAR AND ENVIRONMENTAL THREATS, AND ADDRESS HEALTH DISPARITIES, WE MADE IMPACTFUL PROGRESS IN 2022 THROUGH COLLECTIVE ACTION. IN COLLABORATION WITH COALITIONS, FRONTLINE COMMUNITIES, AND HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS, WE ADVOCATED FOR EQUITY-DRIVEN POLICIES AND SOLUTIONS ACROSS LOS ANGELES. AND WE WON BIG! LA CITY IS MOVING AHEAD TO PHASE OUT OIL AND GAS WELLS. CALIFORNIA WILL ESTABLISH A 3,200 FT. HEALTH AND SAFETY BUFFER FOR NEW AND EXISTING OIL AND GAS WELLS. SOUTH LOS ANGELENOS ARE ONE STEP CLOSER TO BREATHING CLEAN AIR IN THEIR COMMUNITIES THANKS TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SOUTH LA COMMUNITY EMISSIONS REDUCTION PLAN. A GLANCE OF OUR BIGGEST VICTORIES OF 2022 - AFTER THREE YEARS OF LEGISLATIVE EFFORTS AND DECADES OF ORGANIZING, GOVERNOR NEWSOM SIGNED SENATE BILL 1137, THE NATION'S STRONGEST STATE-LEVEL PROTECTIONS FOR COMMUNITIES IMPACTED BY OIL EXTRACTION. - THANKS TO ADVOCACY FROM SCLA-PUSH ORGANIZATIONS, AIR QUALITY AMBASSADORS, THE AB 617 CSC, AND SOUTH LA COMMUNITY MEMBERS, A FINAL SOUTH LA COMMUNITY EMISSIONS REDUCTION PLAN (CERP) WITH A JUST TRANSITION CHAPTER, WHICH NO OTHER AB 617 COMMUNITY PLAN CONTAINS, WAS APPROVED BY THE CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD (CARB). - PSR-LA'S LAND USE AND HEALTH PROGRAM HAS RECEIVED A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION GRANT, ENABLING THE PROGRAM TO ADVANCE CRITICAL POLICIES AND SYSTEMIC CHANGE AND ADDRESS THE HARMS CAUSED BY SOUTH LA'S INDUSTRIAL AND DISCRIMINATORY HISTORY. - THIS YEAR, WE WELCOMED FIVE NEW STAFF MEMBERS TO OUR TEAM: ENERGY EQUITY POLICY COORDINATOR EDGAR BARRAZA, COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER MITHZY HERNANDEZ, LAND USE AND HEALTH PROGRAM ASSOCIATE SHEENA CABAL, HEALTH PROFESSIONAL ENGAGEMENT COORDINATOR TEMESGEN GEBREYESUS, AND TOXICS & PLASTICS CAMPAIGNER IVANA CASTELLANOS. - WE HAVE OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED OUR PLANNED GIVING PROGRAM! WE ARE ACCEPTING TAX-DEDUCTIBLE GIFTS THROUGH GIFTS IN WILLS, IRA-QUALIFIED CHARITABLE DISTRIBUTIONS, STOCK GIFTS, AND DONOR-ADVISED FUNDS SO THAT DONORS CAN SUPPORT OUR WORK WHILE LEAVING THEIR LEGACY AND MAXIMIZING THEIR CHARITABLE IMPACTS. HEALTH AMBASSADOR PROGRAM (HAP) PSR-LA IS INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL TO OUR MEMBERS, ALLIES, PARTNERS, INDIVIDUAL DONORS, AND FUNDERS WHO MADE THESE ACHIEVEMENTS POSSIBLE. WE ESPECIALLY WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE HEALTH PROFESSIONALS WHO HAVE STAYED COMMITTED TO A VISION OF JUSTICE AND HEALTH DURING A CHALLENGING YEAR THAT KEPT THEM AT THE FRONT LINES OF VARIOUS PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUES. HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS ARE ESSENTIAL TO BUILDING TRANSFORMATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND JUSTICE MOVEMENTS. AS SOME OF OUR MOST TRUSTED COMMUNITY LEADERS, THEY PROVIDE CRITICAL ALLYSHIP TO GRASSROOTS MOVEMENTS WHEN THEY LEVERAGE THEIR VOICES TO UPLIFT THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE. HEALTH PROFESSIONAL MEMBERS BRING A TRUSTED VOICE TO PSR-LA'S ADVOCACY EFFORTS, AND WE COULD NOT DO THIS WORK WITHOUT YOU. AS PART OF OUR ONGOING PARTNERSHIP WITH KAISER PERMANENTE BERNARD J. TYSON SCHOOL OF MEDICINE AND HARBOR UCLA MEDICAL SCHOOL, WE ENGAGED MORE THAN 100 PARTICIPANTS IN MULTIPLE VIRTUAL TOXIC TOURS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, MEDICAL STUDENTS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS VISITED HAZARDOUS SITES, EXPLORED OIL AND GAS OPERATION SITES IN SOUTH LA, AND DISCUSSED WAYS TO ADVOCATE FOR QUITABLE SOLUTIONS AND POLICIES THAT ARE VETTED IN THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT WE SERVE. OUR SUMMER MEMBERSHIP DRIVE INCLUDED A "BRING A FRIEND" MEMBERSHIP BRIEFING ON THE CURRENT DROUGHT IN CALIFORNIA, WHICH, LIKE MANY OTHER CLIMATE EMERGENCIES, IS ADVERSELY IMPACTING LOW-INCOME BIPOC COMMUNITIES. MOREOVER, THIS YEAR'S HAP TRAININGS FOCUSED ON AIR QUALITY, LAND USE AND HEALTH, AND THE CARB SCOPING PLAN UPDATE. THROUGH THESE TRAININGS, HEALTH PROFESSIONALS DEVELOP ADVOCACY SKILLS AND ISSUE KNOWLEDGE. THEY BECOME INVOLVED IN ACTIVITIES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO MAKING CRITICAL PUBLIC HEALTH ADVANCES, INCLUDING PUBLISHING OP-EDS ON ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND PARTICIPATING IN CITY HALL HEARINGS TO TESTIFY AND PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENTS. THIS UPCOMING YEAR, WE INTEND TO CONTINUE ENGAGING OUR MEMBERS IN ALL ASPECTS OF OUR WORK, IDENTIFY STRATEGIES FOR GROWING OUR MEMBERSHIP, AND FAMILIARIZE OUR PROFESSIONAL HEALTH EXPERTS WITH OUR PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES. WE WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE ADVOCACY SKILLS EDUCATION AND TRAINING FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND STUDENTS WHO WISH TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR ORGANIZING EFFORTS. IN ADDITION TO BUILDING A NETWORK OF MEDICAL AND HEALTH PROFESSIONALS CURRENTLY PRACTICING, WE ALSO STRIVE TO DEVELOP A NETWORK OF FUTURE HEALTH PROFESSIONALS. AIR & CLIMATE JUSTICE: VICTORIES YEARS IN THE MAKING OUR TEAM PROUDLY LED COALITIONS ACROSS LOS ANGELES AND CALIFORNIA ADVOCATING FOR CLEAN AIR POLICIES, CHALLENGING THE FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY, AND CATALYZING A JUST TRANSITION OFF OF ENERGY SOURCES THAT POLLUTE LOW-INCOME COMMUNITIES OF COLOR AND FUEL OUR LOCAL AND GLOBAL CLIMATE EMERGENCY. AFTER YEARS OF BUILDING POWER BY WORKING WITH ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, FAITH, LABOR, AND COMMUNITY GROUPS, PSR-LA'S PERSISTENT ADVOCACY CULMINATED IN MAJOR AIR & CLIMATE VICTORIES IN 2022. OIL & GAS WITH THE PASSAGE OF SB 1137- THE SETBACKS BILL- PSR-LA, AND COALITION PARTNERS VOICES IN SOLIDARITY AGAINST OIL IN NEIGHBORHOODS (VISION) WON A MAJOR VICTORY IN THE FIGHT TO END NEIGHBORHOOD OIL DRILLING IN CALIFORNIA. SB 1137 BANS DRILLING NEW OIL WELLS WITHIN 3,200 FEET OF SCHOOLS, HOMES, AND OTHER SENSITIVE AREAS AND REGULATES EXISTING WELLS WITHIN THE SAME RADIUS. THIS BILL HAD MAJOR SUPPORT FROM LOCAL ADVOCATES, COMMUNITIES, AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT THE STATE. DESPITE A NERVE-WRACKING BATTLE ON THE ASSEMBLY AND SENATE FLOORS, SB 1137 PASSED ONTO GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM'S DESK, WHERE HE SIGNED IT INTO LAW IN SEPTEMBER! THIS PRECEDENT-SETTING PUBLIC HEALTH POLICY CAME TO FRUITION THROUGH IMMENSE GRASSROOTS EFFORTS, WITH THE MOST IMPACTED COMMUNITIES FIGHTING TIRELESSLY FOR THEIR HEALTH AND SAFETY. THIS WIN IS A TESTAMENT TO THE POWER OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZING AND THE POWER OF PEOPLE. WHILE WE ARE STILL CELEBRATING THIS HISTORIC ACHIEVEMENT, MUCH WORK IS STILL TO BE DONE AS THE BEST SOLUTION TO PROTECT FRONTLINE COMMUNITIES AND ADDRESS OUR CLIMATE EMERGENCY IS TO PHASE OUT IN-STATE FOSSIL FUEL OPERATIONS COMPLETELY. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS CONTINUED: | WHILE SB 1137 IS LEADING THE END OF OIL DRILLING ACROSS THE STATE, LA CITY AND COUNTY HAVE TAKEN THEIR OWN STEPS BY RELEASING DRAFT ORDINANCES TO END OIL DRILLING AND INCLUDE A PATH TO PHASE OUT ALL EXISTING OIL WELLS IN THE REGION! THIS WAS AN EFFORT SPEARHEADED BY COMMUNITY LEADERS WHO HAVE VOICED THEIR FRUSTRATIONS AND CONCERNS ABOUT THE IMPACTS OF DRILLING FOR DECADES. WHILE WE ARE THRILLED BY THIS LONG OVERDUE VICTORY, FRONTLINE COMMUNITIES, ALONG WITH STAND TOGETHER AGAINST NEIGHBORHOOD DRILLING (STAND-LA) COALITION, IN WHICH PSR-LA IS A PROUD CO-FOUNDER AND ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, ARE DEMANDING TO: 1. SHORTEN THE TWENTY-YEAR PHASE-OUT TIMEFRAME 2. REQUIRE A FIVE-YEAR CLEANUP TIMEFRAME, PAID FOR BY OIL COMPANIES 3. KEEP EXISTING REGULATIONS TO PROTECT HEALTH AND SAFETY LOS ANGELES IS HOME TO SOME OF THE LARGEST OIL EXTRACTION FACILITIES IN THE NATION, WITH BLACK, BROWN, AND INDIGENOUS WORKING-CLASS COMMUNITIES LIVING CLOSEST AND SUFFERING THE BRUNT OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS. THESE COMMUNITIES HAVE ENDURED GENERATIONS OF TOXIC CONTAMINATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL RACISM, AND WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO FORCE THEM TO BEAR THE BRUNT OF THE FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY OR CLIMATE POLICY. ALONG WITH OUR PARTNERS, WE WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH DECISION-MAKERS TO PRIORITIZE PEOPLE FIRST AND FIGHT BIG OIL UNTIL OPERATIONS ARE ENTIRELY PHASED OUT FROM OUR COMMUNITIES AND STATE. TO BEAT ENVIRONMENTAL RACISM AND CLIMATE CHANGE, WE MUST BREAK AWAY FROM FOSSIL FUEL INFRASTRUCTURE, NOT DOUBLE DOWN ON IT. WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE ROAD AHEAD AND FURTHER COLLABORATION WITH OUR ALLIES, COALITIONS, AND COMMUNITIES AS WE DETERMINE THE NEXT STEPS IN FULLY ADOPTING A JUST TRANSITION. ENERGY & CLIMATE JUSTICE AS LOS ANGELES IS PURSUING THE REMOVAL OF FOSSIL FUEL-BASED APPLIANCES FROM ITS BUILDINGS AND REPLACING THEM WITH ELECTRIC APPLIANCES, WE WORKED WITH ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, LABOR, TENANT, AND HOUSING JUSTICE GROUPS TO IDENTIFY COMMUNITY CONCERNS AND PROMOTE A CITYWIDE, COMMUNITY-CENTERED APPROACH WHILE ADVOCATING FOR APPROPRIATE SAFEGUARDS AND FUNDING TO PREVENT DISPLACEMENT AND AFFORDABILITY CONCERNS. PSR-LA HAS BEEN A LEADING VOICE IN THE FIGHT FOR EQUITABLE BUILDING DECARBONIZATION IN LOS ANGELES FOR YEARS. IN DECEMBER OF 2021, CITY COUNCIL PASSED A MOTION INSTRUCTING VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS TO ASSESS HOW TO DECARBONIZE ALL OF LA'S BUILDINGS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ENERGY JUSTICE PRINCIPLES WE IDENTIFIED WITH OUR PARTNERS. THE CITY IS EAGER TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THESE POLICIES, BUT A TRANSITION OF THIS SCALE REQUIRES SERIOUS CONSIDERATION TO ADVANCE EQUITABLY AND PREVENT UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS SPONSORED BY PSR-LA AND FACILITATED BY PUEBLO PLANNING EDUCATED AND COLLECTED INPUT FROM LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS AND RESIDENTS ON BUILDING DECARBONIZATION, CLIMATE RESILIENCE, AND OTHER POLICY ISSUES TO DEVELOP MORE EFFECTIVE RECOMMENDATIONS. AS A RESULT, THE CLIMATE EMERGENCY MOBILIZATION OFFICE (CEMO) RELEASED A REPORT ON EQUITABLE BUILDING DECARBONIZATION HIGHLIGHTING OUR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ENSURING AFFORDABILITY, IMPROVING PUBLIC HEALTH, AND PREVENTING DISPLACEMENT. FOR OUR LEADERSHIP IN THIS SPACE, ESPERANZA COMMUNITY HOUSING HONORED THE LEAP LA COALITION AT THEIR FUNDRAISING EVENT IN SEPTEMBER. IN 2023, WE PLAN TO CONTINUE OUR ADVOCACY IN THE CITY COUNCIL TO IDENTIFY FUNDING SOURCES AND DEVELOP INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO THE CLIMATE CRISIS THAT ELIMINATE CARBON EMISSIONS AND IMPROVE THE HEALTH, SAFETY, WELL-BEING, AND PARTICIPATION OF THE MOST VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES IN LOS ANGELES. IN ADDITION TO OUR LOCAL WORK, PSR-LA HAS ESTABLISHED ITSELF AS A STATEWIDE ADVOCATE FOR EQUITABLE BUILDING DECARBONIZATION AND CLIMATE SOLUTIONS. AS CO-CHAIR OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ADVISORY COMMITTEE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MARTHA DINA ARGELLO ADVISED CARB AS IT UPDATED ITS 5-YEAR ROADMAP FOR REDUCING GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. TOGETHER WITH OUR ALLIES IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE MOVEMENT, PSR-LA HELD STATE LEADERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR CLIMATE POLICIES THAT PROTECT OUR AIR, SOIL, AND WATER RATHER THAN THE PROFITS OF POLLUTING INDUSTRIES, WHILE ARTICULATING A VISION OF A HEALTHY, JUST, AND CLIMATE-RESILIENT FUTURE. AT THE LOCAL AND STATE LEVELS, WE ARE COALESCING NEW COALITIONS TO EXPOSE THE REALITIES OF THESE SO-CALLED "SOLUTIONS'' WITH ELECTED OFFICIALS, POLICYMAKERS, AND THE PUBLIC, WORKING TO MINIMIZE THEIR IMPACT AND STOP THEM TOGETHER. PSR-LA PRIDES ITSELF ON IDENTIFYING AND QUICKLY RESPONDING TO NEWLY EMERGING FALSE SOLUTIONS TO THE CLIMATE CRISIS BACKED BY POLLUTING INDUSTRIES. AIR QUALITY CONTINUING ON SOUTH LA BEING SELECTED FOR THE AB 617 CERP- A STATE PROGRAM THAT INVESTS RESOURCES AND FOCUSES ON IMPROVING AIR QUALITY IN EJ COMMUNITIES- LAST YEAR, THE SOUTH CENTRAL LA PROJECT TO UNDERSTAND THE SOURCES AND HEALTH IMPACTS OF LOCAL AIR POLLUTION (SCLA-PUSH) BROUGHT ROUGHLY 100 COMMUNITY RESIDENTS, COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS (CBOS), AND STAKEHOLDERS TO ENGAGE IN DEEP CONVERSATIONS AROUND AIR POLLUTION REDUCTION STRATEGIES. FOLLOWING THESE DISCUSSIONS, ABOUT 30 SOUTH LA COMMUNITY MEMBERS VOLUNTEERED TO SERVE ON THE AB 617 COMMUNITY STEERING COMMITTEE (CSC), WITH PSR-LA, SCOPE, AND WATTS CLEAN AIR AND ENERGY COMMITTEE CO-LEADING. THE CSC WAS CONCEIVED TO GUIDE THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN, SO IT WAS IMPERATIVE TO INCLUDE SOUTH LA RESIDENTS TO ENSURE THE NEEDS AND PRIORITIES OF THEIR COMMUNITY WERE WELL REPRESENTED IN THE PROGRAM AND PART OF THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS ON POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS. THANKS TO SCLA-PUSH ORGANIZATIONS, AIR QUALITY AMBASSADORS, THE AB 617 SLA CSC, AND SLA COMMUNITY MEMBERS, THE SLA CERP WAS DEVELOPED, ADOPTED, AND FINALLY APPROVED IN AUGUST! WHILE THE PASSING OF THE PLAN ITSELF IS A MASSIVE MILESTONE, ONE OF OUR BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS WAS THE INCLUSION OF OUR COMMUNITY JUST TRANSITION CHAPTER IN THE FINAL PLAN, WHICH NO OTHER AB 617 COMMUNITY HAS. THIS SCLA-PUSH INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC JUST TRANSITION CHAPTER ALIGNS EMISSIONS REDUCTION STRATEGIES WITH THE COMMUNITY'S PRIORITIES, FOCUSING ON ECONOMIC JUSTICE FOR DRY CLEANERS AND AUTO BODY SHOPS AS THEY MOVE TOWARD MORE GREEN AND SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES. ADDITIONALLY, SCLA-PUSH HAS BEEN COLLECTING SURVEYS FROM SOUTH LA COMMUNITIES TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THEIR POLLUTION PREVENTION AMBITIONS AND GOALS, WHICH WILL GUIDE SCLA-PUSH PROJECTS IN THE UPCOMING YEARS. THANKS TO COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS AND PROMOTORAS (COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS), A TOTAL OF OVER 1500 SURVEYS WERE COLLECTED THROUGH DOOR-KNOCKING AND CANVASSING. IT IS CRUCIAL THAT ALL PROJECTS CONTAIN INPUT FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND THAT ANY IMPLEMENTATION OF LOCAL AIR QUALITY POLICY DEMOCRATIZES DATA AND SOLUTIONS. IN 2023, WE WILL CONTINUE TO THE NEXT PHASE OF THE CERP IMPLEMENTATION AND ENSURE THE COMMUNITY AND THEIR PRIORITIES GUIDE IT. WE WILL EXPAND OUR CURRENT WORK TO CREATE NEW, MORE COLLABORATIVE WAYS FOR INTERACTION BETWEEN COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND REGULATORY SPACES SUCH AS CARB AND THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT (SCAQMD). WE WILL WORK WITH RESIDENTS AND REGULATORY AGENCIES TO IDENTIFY BARRIERS FOR ENGAGEMENT, CONDUCT A QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE AB 617 METRICS FOR SUCCESS, AND WORK WITH LOCAL SMALL BUSINESSES TO IDENTIFY STRATEGIES TO ADVANCE EMISSION REDUCTION AND CLEAN PRODUCTION SOLUTIONS. NUCLEAR THREATS: PREVENTING ONE MISSTEP FROM ENDANGERING OUR FUTURE WITH RISING GLOBAL TENSIONS, A NEW ARMS RACE, AND THE EVER-GROWING RISK OF ACCIDENTAL NUCLEAR WAR, WE ARE CLOSER TO NUCLEAR CATASTROPHE THAN EVER BEFORE. AS UN SECRETARY-GENERAL ANTNIO GUTERRES WARNS, HUMANITY IS JUST ONE MISUNDERSTANDING- ONE MISCALCULATION- AWAY FROM NUCLEAR ANNIHILATION. WE HAVE NOT BEEN IN THIS STATE OF PERIL SINCE THE COLD WAR, AND WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN CONTINUING TO THREATEN THE USE OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS AGAINST UKRAINE, WE ARE NOW ON THE BRINK OF NUCLEAR WAR. MAINTAINING OUR FOUNDING MISSION, PSR-LA'S NUCLEAR THREATS PROGRAM IS DOING ALL IT CAN TO INFORM HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE MANY WAYS TO TAKE ACTION FOR NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT AND PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH FROM THE LONG-LIVED TOXICITY OF RADIOACTIVE WASTE. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS CONTINUED: | PSR-LA CONTINUES ITS LEADERSHIP ROLE WITH THE BACK FROM THE BRINK: BRINGING COMMUNITIES TOGETHER TO ABOLISH NUCLEAR WEAPONS (BFTB) COALITION. TO DATE, 71 US MUNICIPALITIES, COUNTIES, AND STATE LEGISLATIVE BODIES HAVE VOTED TO ADOPT BFTB RESOLUTIONS! BFTB WAS THRILLED TO ADD CHICAGO, MINNEAPOLIS, SALEM, ST. PAUL, AND RHODE ISLAND SENATE TO OUR GROWING LIST THIS YEAR. ADDITIONALLY, HOUSE RESOLUTION 1185 HAS BEEN INTRODUCED TO CONGRESS, WHICH URGES THE US TO LEAD A GLOBAL EFFORT TO PREVENT NUCLEAR WAR BY PURSUING ALL FIVE OF BFTB'S RECOMMENDED POLICIES AND CO-SPONSORS. THROUGH PSR-LA, BFTB HAS TAKEN AN INTERSECTIONAL APPROACH TO COMMUNITY ORGANIZING AND CREATING LASTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH PARTNERS OUTSIDE OF THE PEACE AND DISARMAMENT COMMUNITY. AS A RESULT OF THIS EFFORT, BFTB BECAME A NATIONAL MOBILIZATION PARTNER FOR THE POOR PEOPLE'S CAMPAIGN MORAL MARCH ON WASHINGTON, ATTENDED BY PSR-LA STAFF. THEY ALSO ORGANIZED THE SUCCESSFUL "PREVENTING NUCLEAR WAR MEANS DEFENDING DEMOCRACY" PANEL EVENT. ON A LOCAL LEVEL, PSR-LA, PARENTS AGAINST SSFL, AND PUBLIC EMPLOYEES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY (PEER) FILED A LAWSUIT CHARGING THAT THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE STATE AND BOEING CO. VIOLATES THE PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT AND TRANSPARENCY REQUIREMENTS OF THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA). THIS LAWSUIT COMES AFTER OUR DECADES-LONG EFFORTS TO REMOVE NUCLEAR AND CHEMICAL CONTAMINATION FROM THE SANTA SUSANA FIELD LAB (SSFL) REACHED A BOILING POINT WHEN THE DEPARTMENT OF TOXIC SUBSTANCES CONTROL (DTSC) ENTERED INTO SECRET NEGOTIATIONS WITH BOEING. THESE BACKROOM DEALS RESULTED IN THE AFOREMENTIONED SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT THAT WOULD LEAVE UP TO 90% OF THE TOXIC CHEMICALS ON THE SITE UNTREATED. OVER 200 COMMUNITY MEMBERS, LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS, AND NUMEROUS ENVIRONMENTAL AND JUSTICE ORGANIZATIONS UNITED IN DENOUNCING THIS ABUSE OF POWER. STILL, THE AGENCY ENGAGED IN A SERIES OF DIRTY TACTICS TO ENSURE THAT THE LOS ANGELES REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD APPROVED A CONTROVERSIAL MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH BOEING, ELIMINATING THE COMPANY'S RESPONSIBILITY TO MONITOR AND CONTROL CONTAMINATED SURFACE WATER RUNOFF FROM SSFL. IF SUCCESSFUL, THE LAWSUIT WILL OPEN THE CLEANUP AGREEMENT TO PUBLIC SCRUTINY AND FORCE THE STATE AGENCIES AND BOEING CO. TO JUSTIFY A CLEANUP METHODOLOGY THAT LEAVES 90% OF THE CONTAMINATION ONSITE. WHILE A LAWSUIT WAS NOT IN OUR PLANS, SUCH FAILURE OF GOVERNANCE MUST BE CONFRONTED. WE AWAIT THE NEXT STEPS, BUT ONE THING IS CERTAIN: WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND PARTNERS UNTIL WE ACHIEVE A FULL CLEANUP OF SSFL. IN LIGHT OF ALL THIS DEVASTATING NEWS, ONE HIGHLIGHT WAS THE EMMY NOMINATION FOR IN THE DARK OF THE VALLEY. THIS POWERFUL DOCUMENTARY ABOUT SSFL AND ITS IMPACT ON LOCAL FAMILIES BROADENED EXPOSURE AND SUPPORT FOR THE ISSUE. IN ADDITION, PSR-LA HAS BEEN HEAVILY INVOLVED WITH THE ALLIANCE FOR NUCLEAR ACCOUNTABILITY (ANA), A NETWORK OF ORGANIZATIONS NEAR NUCLEAR WEAPONS FACILITIES THAT SHARES INFORMATION AND COLLECTIVELY ADVOCATE FOR HEALTH-PROTECTIVE POLICIES, INCLUDING NUCLEAR WEAPONS ABOLITION. ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR DENISE DUFFIELD SERVES ON THE ANA BOARD, AND NUCLEAR THREATS & ENERGY JUSTICE PROGRAM MANAGER ALEX JASSET IS A MEMBER OF THE DC DAYS COMMITTEE, WHICH PLANS THE ANNUAL LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY WEEK. OVER 30 MEETINGS WERE HELD WITH FEDERAL ELECTED AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIALS THIS YEAR! WATER, TOXICS & PLASTICS: TOXICS & PLASTICS WHILE CONCERNS AROUND TOXINS AND PLASTICS CAN BROADLY RANGE FROM CONTAMINANTS LEACHING INTO THE GROUNDWATER TO SIMPLE HOUSEHOLD CONSUMER PRODUCTS, ONE THING IS CERTAIN: OUR MOST VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES BEAR THE BRUNT OF TOXINS THAT ENTER OUR ENVIRONMENT. TO ADDRESS THIS SYSTEMIC INJUSTICE, PSR-LA CO-CHAIRS THE CALIFORNIANS FOR A HEALTHY AND GREEN ECONOMY (CHANGE) COALITION, SPEARHEADED THE NEWLY NAMED ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE COMMUNITIES AGAINST PLASTICS (EJCAP), AND BUILT FOUNDATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN AGENCIES AND COMMUNITIES. IN COLLABORATION WITH CHANGE, PSR-LA'S TOXICS-FREE COMMUNITIES PROGRAM CONDUCTED A SERIES OF SUCCESSFUL TOXICS TOURS. THE FIRST TOUR IN JULY BROUGHT TOGETHER AROUND TEN CBOS AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE GROUPS TO SOUTH LA FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXCHANGE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT REGULATORY AGENCY REFORM SPECIFICALLY WITHIN DTSC, THE AGENCY RESPONSIBLE FOR MANAGING TOXIC WASTE IN CALIFORNIA. THE TOUR HIGHLIGHTED SEVEN INDEPENDENT SITES AND STORIES ACROSS LA COUNTY AND SHOWCASED THE LIFE CYCLE OF TOXINS AND THEIR HARMFUL CUMULATIVE IMPACTS ON FRONTLINE COMMUNITIES. MEMBERS FROM THE NEWLY ESTABLISHED DTSC BOARD OF ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY (BES) AND SCAQMD ALSO ATTENDED THE TOUR. THEY LEFT WITH NEWFOUND KNOWLEDGE, AND A REALIZATION OF THE CHALLENGES SOUTH LA RESIDENTS FACE EVERY DAY. THE FINAL TOXICS TOUR WAS HELD WITH CENTRAL VALLEY GROUPS THROUGH THE CHANGE COALITION AND COMMUNITY ADVOCACY, PSR-LA WILL CONTINUE TO ENGAGE IN EDUCATIONAL EXCHANGES WITH CBOS FROM THE CENTRAL VALLEY TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE BUILDING STATEWIDE ALIGNMENT TO PUSH FOR TRANS-LOCAL SOLUTIONS THAT PROTECT ALL COMMUNITIES FROM TOXIC CHEMICAL EXPOSURE. A KEY FOCUS FOR CHANGE IN THE NEXT YEAR WILL BE LEVERAGING THE MOMENTUM FROM THE TOXICS TOURS TO MOBILIZE PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS ON REGULATORY AGENCY REFORM, STRENGTHENING THE COALITION'S POLICY ADVOCACY, AND PROMOTING INTERSECTIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE EDUCATION SOLUTIONS CENTERED ON SAFER ALTERNATIVES AND PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES. WE ARE INCREDIBLY PROUD OF OUR COALITIONS AND COMMUNITIES WHO HAVE WORKED TIRELESSLY TO REVERSE UNJUST POLICIES AND FUNDAMENTALLY SHIFT GOVERNMENT PRACTICES TO ACHIEVE AN EQUITABLE SYSTEM. |
