It feels like we are being set up to fail, because we are. The freeze threatened local programs to help our communities recover from generations of over-pollution. EHC’s commitment to the fight for improving the health of San Diegans is unwavering, regardless of who is in the Oval Office. After two federal judge rulings, the funds are available for now, but we don’t know what the new administration will do next. #environmentaljustice #climatechange

Boston Avenue Linear Park UPDATE: One IMPORTANT step closer!

La lucha never ends. We aren’t surprised the new administration is already trying to roll back protections and funding that help communities against polluting industry. We have experienced environmental racism for decades leaving us more vulnerable to climate disasters like fires and floods. EHC has been in this fight for over 40 and we won’t back down now. “When the government reviews new facilities now, experts say officials are likely to ignore how any pollution they create may exacerbate what communities already experience.”

Challenging political shifts jeopardize vital environmental protections, putting everything we've worked for at risk. EHC understands how important these efforts are, and we’re committed to defending the progress we've made! It is thanks to the incredible support from neighbors like you that EHC has made significant strides in securing essential funding to create cleaner air, greener spaces, and safer homes for communities that have faced the burdens of pollution for far too long.
