Pacoima Beautiful
Pacoima Beautiful is a grassroots organization in Los Angeles, CA, founded in 1996 by a group of determined mothers who were concerned about the environmental hazards their children faced. Over the past 25 years, the organization has been dedicated to creating a safer and cleaner community through collective action. They have organized community clean-ups, tree planting events, and other beautification projects, setting the foundation for their historically women-led organization. Pacoima Beautiful also focuses on arts and culture, organizing, planning, policy advocacy, and youth organizing to address environmental justice issues and uplift the cultural identity of the Pacoima community. Through their various programs, Pacoima Beautiful aims to fortify frontline communities, address community-identified issues, and advocate for equity and environmental justice. They work on designing community-relevant planning projects, influencing policy initiatives, and fostering leadership development among young people of color. The organization also runs educational workshops for middle and high school students, promoting environmental justice through Agua University. Pacoima Beautiful invites individuals to volunteer and make tax-deductible contributions to support their grassroots efforts in creating a safe, healthy, and inclusive community in the San Fernando Valley.Generated from the website
