PSR-LA Achieves Results for Environmental Justice
Advance Decarbonization and Tenant Protections in LA City
PSR-LA joined forces with tenant rights advocates and the LARHH coalition to push for environmental, labor, and housing justice measures in the Department of Building & Safety's equitable decarbonization recommendations. This decision marks a significant step forward for housing justice, ensuring that decarbonization efforts prioritize protecting vulnerable tenants and promoting healthy, resilient homes for all.
Establish Health & Safety Setbacks Across California
PSR-LA is proud to have stood with community partners to pass SB 1137 banning new oil drilling near sensitive sites like schools, homes, and hospitals. We will continue to educate Californians about the dangers of drilling, and build our movement for climate justice.
Win Support for Nuclear Abolition
PSR-LA spearheaded efforts that prompted the City of Los Angeles and the State of California to adopt resolutions advocating for worldwide nuclear disarmament. Our leadership has inspired similar actions across the U.S. Together with local communities and elected officials in Southern California and beyond, PSR-LA is building power and political will to abolish nuclear weapons for a safer, more just world.
