GATHERING INPUT FROM THOSE HIT HARDEST BY POOR AIR QUALITY AND CLIMATE CHANGE
San Leandro 2050 Is Listening
Since 2020 we have completed almost 80 events, trainings, listening sessions and focus groups where we spoke with 1000+ 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 about San Leandro's Air Qualify and Climate Change for the future. During this work there have been several key themes that emerged as community priorities.

Extreme Heat
Solutions Wanted
