Existen marcadas disparidades en la calidad del aire entre las comunidades de California, e incluso dentro de los lÃmites de la ciudad de San Leandro.
Con el apoyo de la Junta de Recursos del Aire de California y el Distrito de gestión de la calidad del aire del Área de la Bahía, San Leandro 2050 está explorando cómo las personas que viven en vecindarios con baja calidad del aire ven las futuras amenazas del cambio climático.
​
Buscamos amplificar las voces de los residentes que viven en vecindarios donde la contaminación del aire contribuye a tasas desproporcionadamente altas de problemas de salud, como asma, enfermedades cardiovasculares y bajo peso al nacer.
