GATHERING INPUT FROM THOSE HIT HARDEST BY POOR AIR QUALITY AND CLIMATE CHANGE
San Leandro 2050 Is Listening
Since 2020 we have completed almost 50 events, trainings, listening sessions and focus groups where we spoke with 700 residents. We also built a garden with 25 gardeners where we hold garden sessions each week. Our goal is to connect San Leandro through Information and activities, and gain a better understanding of our residents worries and hopes for the future. During this work there have been several key themes that emerged as community priorities.
