Dear Indian Voices
The Montgomery-Gibbs Environmental Coalition would like to bring to your attention to better inform the public about the toxic lead air pollution that is generated by general aviation airports not only all over San Diego County, but also nationwide.
In response to the alarming number of infections and lack of a federal strategy to address Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), Governor Gavin Newsom called upon all Californians to deploy every resource within their control to confront and slow the lethal pandemic spread. As a result, the African American community has initiated a statewide “call to action” within faith-based communities to implement testing in church parking lots, campuses, and facilities.
Through this effort, testing of at-risk, underrepresented, and under-resourced African Americans, and all community members appearing for a test, will be phased across the state beginning in Alameda County and extending in regular intervals to encompass San Francisco, Sacramento, Solano, Contra Costa, San Joaquin, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Gabriel, and San Diego counties.
