About the project
The goals of the Community Air Protection Project are to raise awareness of local issues that affect air quality and health, as well as empower communities to reduce pollution. The project is funded by a California Air Resources Board (CARB) grant beginning in 2020-2022. The fight for environmental justice in communities suffering the most air pollution has begun!
