Pacoima Beautiful is a grassroots organization in Pacoima, CA, founded in 1996 by a group of determined mothers who were concerned about the environmental hazards in their community. Over the past 25 years, the organization has been dedicated to creating a safer and cleaner neighborhood 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.
