The Reverence Project’s Survivor’s Healing Garden, located in the heart of Watts, is a big step in aiming to achieve these outcomes, as well as address environmental issues driven by climate change. Located adjacent to four housing projects and with a goal of providing local healing services through wellness, the [U.S. Green Building Council-Los Angeles](https://dubroworks.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4ff908c1d6f58f4a8f21e8cd9&id=05a2a70383&e=8fa7b3db5d) (USGBC-LA) has selected the garden as its 2022 Legacy Project. The first volunteer day at the garden will be held on Tuesday, June 21, 2022, from 10:00am-1:00pm at 1673 East 108th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90059. [Registration](https://dubroworks.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4ff908c1d6f58f4a8f21e8cd9&id=3b59d75d41&e=8fa7b3db5d) is encouraged. The Survivor’s Healing Garden will serve as a local place of reflection and gathering for survivors of violent crime, confronting the lack of local wellness options. Project leader Oya Sherrills envisions filling the 3150 sq. ft. outdoor space with native California foliage, meditative trails and art installations to serve as foundations for individual and community restoration. ![](https://mcusercontent.com/4ff908c1d6f58f4a8f21e8cd9/images/77f8d5ff-cf61-94b5-46de-6784b1a0fd3c.png) “Just fifteen minutes in nature can uplift health,” states Sherrills. “For years, The Reverence Project has driven survivors 45 minutes to an hour to reach green spaces and wellness services. During the pandemic, this wasn’t an option. We all need nature in our communities that people can easily walk to. “In addition to the survivors of violent crime, we also want all the residents of Watts, including our neighbors without homes, to benefit from the space’s serene beauty and edible foliage,” says Sherrills. Launched in 2016 to help empower local individuals and organizations in implementing programs that nurture sustainability and social equity within their respective neighborhoods, USGBC-LA annually provides a regional ‘legacy project’ $20,000 in funding--along with design, strategy and project management support, and member volunteers. The Legacy Project Committee strives to select a project that is community-supported, has an educational and sustainable focus, is replicable, and serves a variety of socio-economic conditions. A long-time equity issue across Los Angeles (and other cities) is that of green space - where it exists and where it is absent. As an example, the community of Watts has just 0.65 parks per 1000 residents. This dearth of park space is amplified by a “hard” built environment, one with very little streetside greenery. As a result, Watts experiences temperatures 4.7°F degrees hotter than the city average, a significant number considering the drought and extreme heat conditions exacerbated by climate change. Ben Stapleton, USGBC-LA Executive Director, notes, “This project provides the opportunity for our investment of funds, time, and expertise to have an outsized impact on the resilience of the community’s residents and the region’s environment. While private investments cannot catch up to inequities in public funding, we are hopeful our work here builds more awareness and connects with people in the community while showcasing the importance of helping Watts draw its fair share of public funds as well.” The project will support training Watts residents in the value of urban greenery and in methods of civic engagement to help secure further project funding. Activities will include building out a community space that includes hardscape and softscape design and construction, as well as planting of native plants, herbs and food. Educational signage is also planned. In support of the above goals, during the June 21st event volunteers will: - build raised bed garden containers for local vegetables and fruits - pot and plant native California herbs and flowers - beautify; facility painting, create signage, facility mosaic Additional volunteer dates are: *Thursday, July 28th, 9am-12pm Saturday, August 27th, 9am-12pm Tuesday, October 25th, 9am-12pm* “The Legacy Project is an important hands-on opportunity to help foster equity citywide through USGBC-LA’s core values of sustainability, resilience and community,” states Katie Freeze, Legacy Chair, and sustainability manager for Leading Edge. “We were inspired by the opportunity to help create a place of peace and resilience where Watts residents will find sanctuary.” Past impactful Legacy Projects include the EcoTech Makerspace in Gardena (2016), the Veggie Bus Project in South Central LA, the EcoUrban / Arroyo HS garden in El Monte, the Boyle Heights Resilience Hub (2021) and more. **For more information on this year’s Legacy Project and the June 21st event**, please visit the [Legacy Project page](https://dubroworks.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4ff908c1d6f58f4a8f21e8cd9&id=769c3be3e0&e=8fa7b3db5d).

Contact: Zaara Asnani - (240) 204-0679 - xryouthla@gmail.com Aidan Liss - (925) 963-9276 June 15, 2022 – With the California primaries and thus the initial stage of the mayoral election over, Angelenos must consider and decide between the two remaining candidates before the November run-off. A major concern for voters is the climate crisis, for which candidate, real-estate mogul, and billionaire Rick Caruso has no plan. That’s right–no plan. There is not a single mention of anything to do with the environment on his website, beyond a brief subheading on the “Meet Rick Caruso” page detailing his time working with the DWP. He spends ½ of the paragraph bragging about saving the DWP from financial ruin, and the other ½ describing a shift to renewable energy he pushed in 1997 with the Green Power Program, which only works to compensate energy and electricity providers for manufacturing an unknown amount of “clean” or “green” energy. Rick Caruso owns several major properties in the LA county area that bring in millions of dollars per year, money that is directly funding his $40 million campaign. On June 17th, Extinction Rebellion Youth Los Angeles will gather at the Americana at Brand–one of these Caruso-owned profit-generating properties–to demand that climate action be a centerpiece in politics, even on the city level. Youth are angry at the prospect of a mayor who has no plans to fight for a sustainable, livable future for Angelenos, and are fed up with a state of climate emergency being continuously pushed to the wayside in favor of profit. Our plan for the 17th of June is as follows: 1\. At 3:00 PM, we will assemble at the Glendale Central Park. There, we will have a rally featuring speakers and activists from Brown Bears, YCSLA, Sunrise, XRLA, Veterans for Peace, Climate Action Campaign, and fellow members of XR Youth LA. 2\. Following our rally, we will march from Glendale Central Park to the Brand entrance of the Americana at Brand. We will then march through the Americana. 3\. Then, we will be having another piece of this action that we are not disclosing to the public. If you are interested in covering it, email xryouthla@gmail.com. 4\. After this part of the action, we will continue our march to Caruso Ave and end with another short rally. part of the action, we will continue our march to Caruso Ave and end with another short rally. “The issue is, the youth are the ones that will have to deal with the consequences of a mayor with no climate action plan for the longest amount of time, whether our futures reside in LA or not. LA is the second largest city in the country, and it must set an example on how to progressively repair the present state of the climate and prevent future damage. We need radical action–and we need radical action now. This is not just a political talking piece–these are our futures. This is not an issue we can afford to have neglected in city politics–these are our futures.” - Sasha Rotko, 17, Communications Coordinator, XRYLA \#### ## [ Board of Airport Commissioners Special Meeting - CANCELLED](https://mail.citywatchla.com/events/24852-board-of-airport-commissioners-special-meeting-cancelled "Board of Airport Commissioners Special Meeting - CANCELLED") Details CityWatch [FRONT PAGE EVENTS](https://mail.citywatchla.com/events) June 17 2022 June 17 2022 www.lawa.org NOTICE OF CANCELLATION The Special Meeting on Thursday, June 23, 2022 at 10:00am has been cancelled. ## [ Reseda NC Special Joint Board and Executive Committee Meerting](https://mail.citywatchla.com/events/24851-reseda-nc-special-joint-board-and-executive-committee-meerting "Reseda NC Special Joint Board and Executive Committee Meerting") Details CityWatch [FRONT PAGE EVENTS](https://mail.citywatchla.com/events) June 17 2022 June 17 2022 RESEDA NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL SPECIAL JOINT BOARD AND EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA Wednesday, June 15th, 2022— 7:15 PM Zoom Meeting Online: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82694531016 Webinar ID: 82694531016 Supporting documents for this meeting are available here.

Created by Michelle Obama, When We All Vote brings together individuals, institutions, brands, and organizations to register new voters across the country and advance civic education for the entire family and voters of every age to build an informed and engaged electorate for today and generations to come. We empower our supporters and volunteers to take action through voting, advocating for their rights, and holding their elected officials accountable. In 2020, When We All Vote ran a robust, multifaceted campaign and reached more than 100 million people to educate them about the voting process and get them registered and ready to vote. The initiative also led in voter education, registration, and volunteer engagement and as a result, 512,000 people started or completed the voter registration process, and nearly 500 media, corporate, and nonprofit partners joined its efforts. Michelle Obama launched When We All Vote in 2018 and is joined by fellow Co-Chairs Stephen Curry, Becky G, Selena Gomez, Tom Hanks, H.E.R., Liza Koshy, Jennifer Lopez, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Janelle Monae, Chris Paul, Megan Rapinoe, Shonda Rhimes, Bretman Rock, Kerry Washington and Rita Wilson. When We All Vote is a key initiative within Civic Nation, a 501(c)(3) organization, and works with Civic Nation Action, a 501(c)(4). These organizations are homes for changemakers who inspire, educate, and activate people around the issues that will define this generation. **ABOUT Civic Nation:** Civic Nation is a nonpartisan, nonprofit home for changemakers who inspire, educate, and activate people around the issues that will define this generation.
