The Paramount Community Coalition Against Toxics

The Paramount Community Coalition Against Toxics Combating Pollution, City of Paramount, We request that grinding be done indoors. Both are located near 2 elementary schools and residential homes.

Going on the official record to request from The Paramount City Council and Commission to enact a zoning moratorium on future forging and grinding companies in Paramount due to the Hexavalent Chromium reading 350 times the average levels. We know there are 4 forging and 30 grinding companies in Paramount more than any other small city in Southern California. South Coast Air Quality Management Dist

rict has never regulated the grinding industry so they have had carte blanche to do as they please. Currently, Mattco Forge and Press Forge are grinding in open air according to Susan Nakamura of South Coast Air Quality Management District. AQMD is in the process of developing regulations to monitor grinding, but it is a lengthy process. Those of us who were born and raised here, those of us who have had our businesses here, those of us who have children attending this school district have all been busy living our lives, raising our families, and building our careers. We've had the utmost and have placed our utmost confidence in our city council. But, after these discoverings our confidence level in our local government is diminishing and feel they are putting profit before our health. We are all stakeholders in this community and need to start building better community involvement. We need to start attending these city council meetings. We are committed to holding the City Manager, John Moreno and the rest of The Paramount City Council accountable. Enough is enough. Let’s empower ourselves.

Brenda Olmo’s is the last politician to be on the AQMD board. Her primary interest has always been business and industry in Paramount. When it comes to environmental justice she has never represented the people. The is a shame.

A huge congratulations to Paramount Councilwoman Brenda Olmos on her incredible victory as our next representative on the South Coast AQMD Board!

Brenda will proudly serve and represent 51 communities, including all seven cities in AD 62. ✅ This is a monumental win, Brenda—your leadership is exactly what we need. Let’s keep fighting for the communities that need our voice the most! 👏🏽👏🏽🇺🇸 (Oh, I hear you have some cool shoes to fill 😉😉) 👏🏽👏🏽🇺🇸

With school starting right around the corner, I wanted to remind our community of learners of a great reading resource in our city. The Little Free Library organization has several chartered libraries to access free books! This is especially helpful since the County Library in Paramount has been closed for repairs. The Little Library on Ives Street has just been restocked with children and teen books, as well as free supplies! Please support the libraries listed on this post by visiting and/or donating books appropriate for all reading levels (baby through adults!).

Wed. from 5-7pm residents can meet with metal-related businesses in town to learn about their activities as part of the City’s program to provide oversight of potential air quality issues generated at businesses with permits from the AQMD, the regional air quality control agency. These public information events are an important step in the City’s commitment to ensuring Paramount’s air quality remains safe.

“We were told that we would see America come and go. In a sense, America is dying, from within, because they forgot the instructions of how to live on earth. It's the Hopi belief, it's our belief, that if you are not spiritually connected to the earth, and understand the spiritual reality of how to live on earth, it's likely that you will not make it.
Everything is spiritual, everything has a spirit, everything was brought here by the creator, the one creator. Some people call him God, some people call him Buddha, some people call him Allah, some people call him other names. We call him Tunkaschila... Grandfather.
We are here on earth only a few winters, then we go to the spirit world. The spirit world is more real than most of us believe.
The spirit world is everything. Over 95% of our body is water. In order to stay healthy, you've got to drink good water. ... Water is sacred, the air is sacred.
Our DNA is made out of the same DNA as the tree, the tree breaths what we exhale, we need what the tree exhales. So we have a common destiny with the tree.
We are all from the earth, and when the earth, the water, the atmosphere is corrupted, then it will create its own reaction. The mother is reacting.
In the Hopi prophecy, they say the storms and floods will become greater. To me, it's not a negative thing to know that there will be great changes. It's not negative, it's evolution. When you look at it as evolution, it's time, nothing stays the same. You should learn how to plant something. That is the first connection.
You should treat all things as spirit, realize that we are one family. It's never something like the end. It's like life, there is no end to life.”

There is a part 2 commission meeting tonight at city hall. World energy is planning to be the largest jet fuel manufacturer in Paramount.
If you can show up to hear how this will impact a small community then show up. Why in Paramount? Because no other city allows this anymore
