BAAQMD Community Hearing for the Clean Air Plan
Jubilee West Community Center 1485 Chester
Street @8th St
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District-BAAQMD (the folks who regulate
air pollution) is hosting a community meeting to get input from us on what
should go into their Clean Air Plan for 2003/2004. This meeting is happening
because an ally organization of ours- Communities for a Better Environment)
sued the BAAQMD for not following the law by not having a process in which
the public could be involved. This meeting will be important for us as a way
to get information about the BAAQMD and their policies as well as network with
other community members who are concerned about air quality issues. In other
words, we need to be there!
