Description

Jose Jimenez, a teacher and UCR alumni, speaks about how San Bernadino, and his neighborhood, have changed over the years that he has lived in the city. These changes were brought about by the building and expansion of warehouses in the city. Jimenez speaks on how these warehouses, namely those owned by Amazon, have potentially led to detrimental effects on resident's health, safety, and quality of life. Mainly from the resulting pollution that these warehouses create. He also speaks on his involvement with activist groups such as the PC4EJ who are working to protect public health and the environment in the Inland Empire. Finally, Jose talks about his hopes for the future and why he believes telling his story is important.
