Toxins homes & bodies = Bad Landuse

DAAC Youth Leaders are an important part of the legacy we are creating with the help of many of you who have donated or will donate to support youth engagement.  We are using these funding requests to keep our youth leaders engaged.  We are preparing to engage with planners, City and County Leaders, Enforcement Agencies, Regulatory Agencies, Park Planners and other important stakeholders to create a community specific land use plan for our community.  We are being impacted by continued land use development that is further damaging the health of our community especially the young and older residents.  We are giving the youth leaders and community a voice and your donations go directly to support youth engagement.  Thank you for helping to set the stage for our next generation of environmental and social justice leaders.

Proactive Strategy – Community Specific Plan


We realize that we must face head on the continuing challenge of land use decisions that result in the co-location of polluting industries with low income communities of color.  The families here live our lives, raise our children, and suffer the anxieties that come from feeling powerless to change our pollution burden in a way that will truly protect our future.  That is why we have set the goal to break the cycle of harm caused to our community by proactively changing problematic land use decisions, holding government regulators accountable for environmental laws and regulations, and giving our community the tools we need to impact our circumstances and the decisions that affect our lives.  Bad land use decisions continue to plague this area.  We seek to bring stakeholders together to develop a community-based land use plan that focuses on community needs to builds a vision for how to proactively take meaningful action to make Del Amo a healthier, safer place for families today and tomorrow.

Thank you for being a supporter of our future.
