AnNOUNCEMENT Get Involved in Modesto’s General Plan Update & Advocate for Environmental Justice in Modesto’s Disadvantaged Neighborhoods By Katie Moose / California Health Collaborative
They only do big comprehensive updates like this once every 10 to 20 years, so this really is an incredible opportunity. In 2016, California passed a law, SB 1000, or the Planning for Healthy Communities Act. This law requires that the city develop and adopt an Environmental Justice Element into the General Plan. SB 1000 requires local jurisdictions with “Disadvantaged Communities” (Modesto has several) to engage those communities in developing localized solutions to address their specific needs in eight main areas: • Reduce Pollution Exposure and Improve Air Quality in Disadvantaged Communities (DAC’s) • Ensure equitable access to Public Facilities in DAC’s • Ensure access to Healthy Food choices in DAC’s • Ensure Safe & Sanitary Homes in DAC’s • Promote Physical Activity in DAC’s • Promote Civic Engagement among members of DAC’s
