An estimated 31,700 workers, about 81% of whom are Latino, live in the county and city zones where a smoke advisory was issued, according to new data from the UCLA Latino Policy & Politics Institute. Yoshira “Yoshi” Ornelas Van Horne, an exposure scientist and assistant professor with the UCLA Fielding School’s Department of Environmental Health Sciences, told The LA Local that the Lineage fire is exposing how little is done to “respond to public health emergencies and disasters” in communities like Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles, areas “that have so often been referred to as environmental injustice communities.” Residents and community organizations like East Yard, Ornelas Van Horne said, are “relying on their networks and their organizing power to be able to do that on the ground sampling.” Read more about UCLA in the Los Angeles Times, ScienceDaily and others.

Manville, a professor and chair of urban planning at the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs, argues that any potential revenue from the measure is overly reliant on a small group of people who avoid the tax by choosing not to sell.
