Local air quality has at times been compromised due to industrial incidents. As a consequence, grassroots organizations have formed to address, advocate, and protect the community’s right to clean air and good health. Join us for our Community Conversations webinar on Thursday, April 18, at 4 pm, to learn about local environmental incidents and recent legislation proposed to keep communities like Contra Costa safe and healthy.

As currently planned, our panel will include:

  • Michael Kent, Contra Costa County Hazardous Materials Ombudsman and staff for the Hazardous Materials Commission
  • Heidi Taylor, Healthy Martinez
  • Marisol Cantu, Richmond Progressive Alliance, AB 617 Community Steering Committee Co-lead
  • Representative from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District
  • Dr. Meredith Bauer, BAAQMD, Deputy Executive Officer of Engineering and Compliance

Audience questions will be collected and answered through the Zoom chat.
