Building Healthy Communities from the Ground up

Congrats to our 2016 Environmental Justice Leadership Awardees!

We’re proud to announce CEJA’s 2016 EJ Award Winners — Senator Connie Leyva, Matheny Tract Committee & IBEW 569!

Through a community-nominated selection process by CEJA’s members and partners, this year’s Environmental Justice Leadership Awards recognize the exemplary work of decision-makers and community members who lift up environmental justice and equity locally, regionally, and statewide. Last year’s recipients were Communities for a Better Environment and East Yard Communities for Environmental Justice for their victory in shutting down Exide, and Senate Pro Tem Kevin de León.

Don’t miss the opportunity to meet these inspiring EJ leaders, when they will accept their awards at our 15th Anniversary Party, ¡Adelante! 15 Years of Building Power on Thursday, July 28th from 6-9pm at La Plaza de Cultura y Artes at 501 N. Main St in Los Angeles.
