Mission and programs · 2023

• AFTER THE SOUTH COAST AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT (SCAQMD) ABANDONED A RAIL INDIRECT SOURCE RULE (ISR) IN SUMMER 2023, COMMUNITY MEMBERS FROM EAST LOS ANGELES TO LONG BEACH, ALONG WITH OUR PARTNERS FROM THE INLAND EMPIRE, SHOWED UP IN PERSON AND VIRTUALLY TO VOICE OUR OPPOSITION. THE ALTERNATIVE WOULD MEAN A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING, A HANDSHAKE AGREEMENT THAT WOULD NOT RESULT IN EQUAL ENFORCEABILITY AS AN ISR. IN NOVEMBER 2023, SCAQMD ANNOUNCED THEY WOULD MAKE THE SWITCH BACK AND CONTINUE ON THE PATH OF PURSUING AN ISR. RAIL COMMUNITY WERE SUCCESSFUL IN PUSHING AND VOCALIZING THE NEED FOR AN ENFORCEABLE REGULATION FOR THE HEALTH OF THEIR RESIDENTS.IN 2023, EAST YARD COMMUNITIES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE'S (EYCEJ) THREE-YEAR RESEARCH PROJECT WITH USC AND OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE RELEASED FINAL SOIL SAMPLING RESULTS OF EXIDE IMPACTED HOMES THAT HAVE BEEN CLEANED UP BY THE STATE AND HOMES BEYOND THE CURRENT CLEANUP AREA THAT MAY BE IMPACTED BY EXIDE.
