“The Costs of Convenience,” The Real Pandemic: Coronavirus and the Logistics in LA and the IE

The Real Pandemic: Coronavirus and the Logistics in LA and the IE is a series of ongoing interviews  with members of the San Bernardino Airport Communities (SBAC). This series seeks to elevate the voices of workers in the Inland Empire and to educate the broader public about SBAC’s fight for “clean air as a human right, the end of  ‘diesel-death zones,’ and secure jobs at livable wages.” This fight has become increasingly urgent as the impact of COVID 19 exacerbates existing health and safety concerns.
