One major concern is disproportionate pollution, with the area known as the Diesel Death Corridor due to heavy emissions from freeways, the Port of Long Beach, and refineries. This results in higher rates of respiratory illnesses and a reduced life expectancy, which can be 5-10 years shorter than in more affluent areas. Another critical issue is park inequity; western Long Beach has less than one acre of parkland per 1,000 residents, significantly below the 16.7 acres available in eastern Long Beach. The lack of green space impacts physical health, mental well-being, and overall community health. Addressing these disparities is essential for promoting environmental justice, improving public health, and ensuring equitable access to green spaces for all residents 29848 Land Preservation: The coalitions most prominent work is to stop the industrial development of one of the last remaining large parcels of open land along the Los Angeles River. We advocate for this land to be developed as a public park, citing decades of city and county plans that had previously designated the site for open space. We view the proposed industrial development as a direct violation of environmental justice principles and a step backward for the communitys health and vitality. Our advocacy includes legal action, organizing community protests, and petitioning city officials to honor their previous commitments to greening the river corridor. 75938 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 true 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false false false false true true false false true false false false false false false CA X X Juan Ovalle 5624797176 4000 Long Beach Blvd - 301 Long Beach CA 90807 X Martin Holman Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Renee Lawler Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Philip Marr Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Serena Steers Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Elena Tucci Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carolyn De Baca Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Pulitzer Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Leslie Garretson President 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kimberly Walters Vice President 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Keith Tyschper Secretary 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Pat Querido Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 6450 6450 11614 11614 0 18064 11614 0 0 X 8234 8234 3491 3491 29848 29848 1000 1000 530 530 24439 24439 6023 6023 317 317 6682 6682 861 861 Communications 761 712 49 82186 75938 6248 0 12105 6625 382515 48535 20000 270610 394620 345770 0 0 X 394620 345770 394620 345770 394620 345770 -64122 15272 0 X false false false X 20363 10145 380266 6450 417224 20363 10145 380266 6450 417224 371423 45801 5 6 23 11614 11648 428872 X Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 Board Chair and Treasurer review the draft Form 990 and offer clarification as appropriate.
