Environmental Justice is a focus in the City of Santa Ana’s General Plan update

As part of the General Plan update, the City of Santa Ana is expanding its focus on the topic of environmental justice. An environmental justice, or “EJ,” community is an area of the city where residents may be at the highest risk of socioeconomic challenges and exposure to pollution in the air, water, and soil. Under Senate Bill 1000, California cities are required to adopt environmental justice policies and programs to reduce pollution and increase public investment in these EJ communities.

The public is encouraged to view an informative video presentation on Environmental Justice as incorporated throughout the City of Santa Ana General Plan. To access the Environmental Justice presentation video in English and Spanish, share your ideas, or learn more about how the City of Santa Ana is addressing the topic of environmental justice, visit the General Plan webpage at www.santa-ana.org/general-plan.

Learn about the important work that our community has already started to improve social, economic and environmental conditions as well as potential changes to City policies and implementation actions. These policy changes are intended to improve existing and future conditions for all of Santa Ana, with a focus on those in greatest need of help and protection.

All are invited to share their ideas on this and future efforts by our General Plan Team. Please share your thoughts with us by e-mail at newgeneralplan@santa-ana.org.

Video: La Justicia Ambiental Es un Enfoque en la Actualización del Plan General de Santa Ana

Como parte de la actualización del Plan General, la Ciudad de Santa Ana está ampliando su enfoque en el tema de la justicia ambiental. Una comunidad de justicia ambiental “EJ” es un área de la ciudad donde los residentes pueden estar en mayor riesgo de desafíos socioeconómicos y de exposición a la contaminación del aire, el agua y el suelo. Según la Propuesta de Ley 1000 del Senado, se requiere que las ciudades de California adoptan las políticas y los programas de justicia ambiental para reducir la contaminación y aumentar la inversión pública en estas comunidades “EJ”.

Se alienta al público a ver una presentación informativa en video sobre la Justicia Ambiental incorporada en todo el Plan General de la Ciudad de Santa Ana. Para acceder al video de presentación de Justicia Ambiental en inglés y español, compartir sus ideas o aprender más acerca de cómo la Ciudad de Santa Ana está abordando el tema de la justicia ambiental, visite la página web del Plan General en www.santa-ana.org/general-plan.

Conozca el importante trabajo que nuestra comunidad ya ha comenzado para mejorar las condiciones sociales, económicas y ambientales, así como los posibles cambios en las políticas de la Ciudad y las acciones de implementación. El objetivo de estos cambios en las políticas es para mejorar las condiciones existentes y futuras para toda Santa Ana, con un enfoque en aquellos que más necesitan ayuda y protección.

Todos están invitados a compartir sus ideas sobre éste y futuros esfuerzos de nuestro equipo del Plan General. Por favor comparta sus pensamientos con nosotros por email en newgeneralplan@santa-ana.org.
