We are hoping to have 30 NPNA residents make it to show their support. Additionally, we’re encouraging our passionate members to speak at this meeting.

Capitalizing on Kennedy’s renown passion for the environment, this year’s theme, Planting Seeds of Environmental Change, will address the importance of environmental consciousness as we continue the planning and development of our urban center.

Of particular focus will be the pollution of our beaches, the contamination of the Los Angeles River and the opportunities we have as a community to overcome these challenges.
