The Communities of Faith Partnership represents a wide cross-section of faith communities throughout the AQMD region.  We agree with the importance of environmental stewardship and are committed to engaging the faith-based organizations to be an active part of the decision making process and join the effort to restore clean, healthful air within our region. 

AQMD is inviting health organizations and professionals to partner with us in the “Health Partnership for Cleaner Air” in order to work together to educate the public on the health impacts of air pollution and the various tools available to reduce harmful air pollution. 

Representatives from Environmental Justice organizations serve on key AQMD advisory committees.  The District works with Environmental Justice organizations to raise awareness on the health impacts of air pollution to environmental justice communities by conducting healthy air conferences and events.

The District is committed to undertaking all necessary steps to protect public health from air pollution, with sensitivity to the impacts of its actions on the community and businesses. Sensitivity to businesses helps protect job creation. The AQMD has created partnerships with Labor in areas involving green jobs training programs and in support of legislation that helps protect job creation.   

The AQMD partners with many civic organizations throughout the south Coast basin to co-sponsor events that raise awareness about the public health effects of air pollution.
