Congratulations to our Environmental Justice Youth Fellows for their amazing research projects! Last week, fellows showcased their summer research projects at the Health Sciences campus. Not only did the fellows cover an array of topics, from air pollution to microplastics to clean energy, but all of the projects drew upon lived experiences.

Community-based participatory research equitably involves community members in the research process from beginning to end. Our fellows worked directly with members of their own communities to address their concerns, identify communication gaps, and assess their current perception of certain environmental stressors. It is important to uplift the voices of those who are disproportionately impacted by environmental hazards and provide a space where they can discuss their lived experiences. The youth fellows, through a 9-month process, built skills to directly engage community members in research projects, translate research findings, and provide insights for policy solutions. Over the course of the program, our fellows have gained insight on this research approach and have applied it to their own projects. We are incredibly proud of our inaugural youth fellows and their dedication to protecting and informing their communities.

Equitable Energy Transitions: Understanding Worker Concerns and Cultivating 'Just Transitions' in Shifting Industries

By: Lizbeth Zambrano-Sanchez

Imperial Valley is a highly productive agricultural region in southeastern California with among the highest rates of children's respiratory hospitalizations in the state. Agricultural burning, or the open burning or agricultural fields, is used throughout the region to rapidly clear crop residue after harvesting. This process releases pollutants like particulate matter into the air, which can cause respiratory problems in children and adults. 

As part of the Children's Assessing Imperial Valley Respiratory Health and the Environment (AIRE) Study, a collaborative school-based study led by Drs. Shohreh Farzan and Jill Johnston, in partnership with Comite Civico Del Valle, researchers found that children exposed to the most days of agricultural burning were more likely to experience wheezing and other respiratory symptoms. Links between living near agricultural burning and wheeze were strongest among children with asthma.

James Rojas led a workshop for our USC Environmental Justice Youth Fellowship in April. Fellows were asked to reflect on an early childhood memory. Several common themes emerged among the fellows’ images, including family and nature. The youth were also asked to visualize their ideal community using random objects found around their home. A sense of community was at the heart of each image, with many other design components overlapping including access to green space, walkable neighborhoods, healthy food options, clean drinking water, public transportation, native plants, and gardens.  

Check out our student’s ideal communities down below.

By: Marissa Guadarrama

My ideal community would like the picture above. It would be a place where equity exists, and different groups of people can not only co-exist but uplift each other.  In this ideal society, we would be united, as a society, and a people, and our differences would not drive us apart, but rather, be celebrated. It’d be a place where everyone would have access to the same resources and green spaces.

By: Victoria Virgen

My ideal community is one with lots of access to green spaces and gardens. Like the butterfly, my ideal community would be one that promotes transformation, independence and growth, but at the same time would be tight knit and united (hence the knitted garment). I would love for my community to move away from non-renewable energy sources instead rely solely on renewable energy from sources like solar panels and windmills.

By: Cindy Santiago

My ideal community would be a place where everyone has access to the same opportunities. A place where the well-being of ALL individuals is prioritized and corporate greed is limited. A place where greenery blooms and everyone contributes to solutions, not just problems. My ideal community is a place where no inequalities exist among people, and while this is a far-fetched idea, we should work towards bridging this gap.

By: Alexis Martin

My ideal community is a passionate, selfless group of people, who prioritize the needs of the environment. Each person in the community recognizes how much humans have contributed to the degradation of the earth, and does their part in advocating for environmental rights. These people look for and try different environment-friendly solutions, whether that is through thrifting, taking public transportation rather than driving, and choosing not to eat dairy products and/or meats. The individuals of the community make a conscious effort to educate themselves on current events regarding environmental policies, especially the policies that may affect their areas, and look for ways to take action.

By: Berenice De Anda

My picture illustrates people coming together to enjoy music and food. I would consider this image my ideal community because as a child, attending local events like these would help me feel connected to my community. Partaking in events like the one shown above also helps me experience different cultures through their food and music, which I find so beautiful.

By: Adiba Adrita

My ideal community would be a community that is a lot like the picture above. I really like close-knitted communities where everyone knows each other and special occasions feel like rather big family gatherings. I like the idea of how a lot of these people know each other since very young and their kids usually go to school all together. I think it really gives the idea of a family rather than a bunch of people who all live together. I also really appreciate the idea of a close-knitted community because it brings together people who don’t have families as well, and it gives them the opportunity to feel like they belong. Being together and being there for one another at all times is a very warming feeling, in my opinion, and it is something that everyone should get a feel for. Overall, my ideal community would be a community that is rather a family.

By: Julia Bustos

My ideal community would have a vibrant gathering space where people can come together to socialize, play, and relax. Unfortunately, many communities in Los Angeles lack a healthy space where people can gather for simple fun. The concept of unity and community is particularly important for marginalized populations, and it's crucial that we have more of it. Without a space for people to come together, it can be challenging to foster a sense of community and belonging. It's a place where everyone is welcome, regardless of their background or identity, and where accessibility and inclusivity are prioritized. By creating a vibrant gathering space that encourages socialization, physical activity, and community building, we can improve the health and well-being of individuals and communities as a whole. Ultimately, investing in communal spaces like this can lead to a more equitable, just, and sustainable future.

By: Linh Tran

My ideal society would be filled with compassion for others and thoughtfulness as all civilians are more aware of their impact on the environment. This society would also have a great leader to look after it as represented by the Lorax in this picture. I believe that many can learn from the Lorax’s leadership and caring personality. Not to mention, a society filled with a diverse community is also a great attribute to the overall well-being of the society.

By: Ryan Kim

My ideal community would be something like this. I like my community as close, communicative, and understanding of each other. They also focus on helping the earth and clean up in order to take care of it. It would also have an idea of trust with no hate/corruption from anyone. 

By: Natalie Rubio

My ideal community would be a city with lots of native plants with grassy terrain instead of concrete sidewalks. There would be no trains loud at night or freeways zooming loudly past one’s house. My ideal community would be people having close relationships and sharing resources with each other, treating one another like family. 

By: Lizbeth Zambrano-Sanchez

My ideal community is rooted in abolition. Not only would my ideal world have an abolition of carceral institutions such as prisons, but also of other oppressive systems that exist in our world. While many are fearful of what abolition would entail, at the root of it, abolition provides opportunity for people, especially marginalized people to re-imagine new possibilities for what our world would look like. Abolition is not just about erasing past structures but rather developing new community-led initiatives to sustain one’s society. Some visual features of the society I’m envisioning are being fully sustainable such as through agriculture and having lots of access to green spaces.

By: Daisy Cano Ruiz

The picture above shows a space that I would consider my ideal community. I live in East Los Angeles, and more often than not, our community lacks the greenery that other places have. In this picture, I see every house surrounded by grass, trees, and offers its community members a safe space. While the picture above may seem like a stretch to what our marginalized communities should reach for, it’s definitely not impossible.

The Community Air Protection Project, a coalition led by Coalition for Clean Air,  Del Amo Action Committee (DAAC), Pacoima Beautiful (PB), Comité Pro Uno (CPU), and the Coalition for a Safe Environment (CFASE), and supported by the LA County Department of Public Health and USC’s EJ Research Lab, worked together to develop household-level surveys tailored to four EJ communities in LA. These surveys asked residents about their environmental and health concerns. Across a total of 818 interviews, representing over 90,000 households, the most frequently reported health concerns across the four communities were allergies, high blood pressure/heart problems, anxiety or depression, and diabetes. Two out of every 3 households identified outdoor air pollution, particularly from nearby truck traffic and local industries, as an key environmental concern. Other neighborhood-specific concerns included contaminated land, illegal dumping, acid use at local refineries, and lack of green space. Feedback from local stakeholders on the survey results was mixed. For some, the results validated their lived experiences. Others identified the need for research to provide causal links between exposures and outcomes.

“What this has meant is to be able to verify the suspicions we had about the health of our communities around the Exide plant. We will have established a project that we can work together with the Los Angeles County Public Health Dept to develop new campaigns to educate the immigrant community about health, and the connection between food and our health.” - Felipe Aguirre

“Our Wilmington, Carson & Long Beach communities are so blessed to have lived the successful experience of CASPER in our neighborhoods, the surveys have proved for once and for all, our South Bay children & families deserve clean air, clean water, and clean soil NOW!” Peace, Si Se Puede! - Ricardo Pulido, CFASE Environmentalist Advocate

Check out the reports for each community by clicking on the buttons below:

There are key advantages to conducting a CASPER survey – including standardized methodology, speed of execution, and relatively low resource use – that can make it well suited for rapid research in EJ communities. The results of these surveys provide quantitative evidence validating the lived experiences of households in EJ communities. Further, they are key baseline measures against which future surveys in these communities can be compared to determine the effectiveness of regulatory policies.

"Partnering with academics at USC and our Public Health Department has built a solid foundation for our community to continue to take a snapshot of our health periodically and compare it to a solid baseline; we have a repeatable process.  The data is strong because of our partnership in a community lead process where expertise in the community is not only recognized but a critical factor in a successful completion of a CASPER type health survey.  Information that has integrity and we can rely on, that is exactly what we needed." - Cynthia Babich, Founder and Director of Del Amo Action Committee

Ethylene Oxide (EtO) is a flammable colorless gas used for industrial purposes. It is primarily used to make other chemicals, such as antifreeze, and is used as a pesticide and sterilizing agent in smaller amounts. Individuals can be exposed to EtO by inhaling or ingesting it, primarily through environmental, occupational, and consumer exposure. People who live near industrial facilities that produce EtO are especially at risk of being exposed. There are 15 permitted facilities that handle EtO in the South Coast Air Basin, including in Vernon and the City of Carson.

"Diabetes can be prevented with a healthy lifestyle, but unfortunately the rates of diabetes continue to rise in the United States. Research has shown that women are more susceptible to diabetes especially after having gestational diabetes during pregnancy. Dr. Farzan and I made this infographic with the hope to educate women on what diabetes is and how it can be prevented. This infographic contains information on the different types of diabetes, as well as a list of accessible resources that women can use to begin their journey of practicing healthy behaviors. We hope this infographic can encourage women to be more proactive in preventing diabetes." - Sydney Powell, EH MATTERS Fellow
