XRYLA's Action Against the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power
On 23 October 2020, Extinction Rebellion Youth Los Angeles, Sunrise Movement Los Angeles, and One Up Action Los Angeles held a coalition action at the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power to demand action on the Los Angeles water crisis. For far too long, LA leaders have failed to respond to the crisis with the urgency it deserves.
Our demands:
Reparations for the Indigenous Nüümü of Owens Valley
Reparations for California for years of land and water injustices at the hands of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power
Rapid response to the crisis by swiftly building hydration stations throughout Los Angeles
Implementing carbon-neutral and sustainable water practices.
