Thank you for joining us in Oakland, Fresno, Los Angeles, and San Diego to learn more about California Environmental Voters’ Education Fund’s 2012 Latino Environmental Poll. The forums were open to the public and announced the results of our ground-breaking survey of Latinos’ environmental attitudes and concerns.
Discussions included an overview of statewide survey results as well as a deeper examination of local results with a panel of regional advocates. Together with these experts from and advocates for California’s Latino communities, we analyzed specific implications and next steps for protecting the environment and public health.
