In reading your article Emmanuel Alcantar, it first brings me hope that a new generation is now coming to the forefront of what many have had to endure here in Los Angeles especially the south east portions of LA County. Many politicians have used our area as a stepping stone to higher political office, accepting funding directly or via independent expenditures from the same polluters that have contaminated our environment for decades. I encourage the Sierra Club to continue working with other organizations to Forster and develop alliances that will not only bring environmental justice but will also benefit the Sierra Club mission.
