Please note the letter attached and the amazing individuals who support our efforts and community-led environmental justice action. The list is comprised of lauded park experts, urban planners, community activists, landscape architects, academics, conusltants, lawyers, community leaders and neighbors. These individuals believe in the power of community-based planning and land-use equity. It is crucial to note their work in community planning and we are more than humbled to have their support. Thank you.
Please feel free to notify us via email if you would like to be included in this letter, which has been presented to Assemblymember Curren Price and Congresswoman Maxine Waters. Subsequent letters are being sent to our remaining elected officials.
We are calling on Senator Diane Feinstein, Senator Barbara Boxer, Senator Edward Vincent, Supervisor Yvonne Burke, Congresswoman Maxine Waters and Assemblymember Curren Price to request the involvement of the Santa Monica, Rivers and Mountains, Coastal and the Baldwin Hills Conservancies in the acquisition of this property as the first step in the creation of a vibrant space for children to play in this low-income, park poor community.
Time is running out. We are danger of losing this property, these resources and this opportunity to revitalize this community for our children forever if our elected officials do not act quickly.
We await the results of thier actions.
