We are thrilled to have Nalleli Cobo, an award-winning environmental activist and Mount San Antonio College's keynote speaker for our 2024 Earth Week events. Growing up next to a toxic oil drilling site in South Los Angeles, Nalleli began her activism journey at just nine years old. Despite severe health impacts on her and her community, Nalleli's relentless efforts not only led to the shutdown of the oil well but also fueled significant legislative changes in California.
Join us as Nalleli shares her powerful story of community, resilience, and the ongoing fight for environmental justice. Her experiences underscore the importance of solidarity and collective action in driving change and safeguarding public health against profit-driven exploitation.
