Good morning,

My name is Yvonne Martinez Watson. I'm the Chair of the
Environmental Justice Committee for the Sierra Club Angeles
Chapter.

We urge you to PASS the Advanced Clean Truck Rule.

I'm a resident of Montebello, a SB535 Disadvantaged Community
burdened by high levels of environmental pollution including bad
air quality from fossil fuel emissions.

As you've heard, communities like mine are being hit hard by
COVID-19 and we are at a much greater risk for poor recovery
outcomes and substantial organ damage due to our prior exposure to
air pollution.

I have severe asthma.  Last year I was hospitalized twice with
respiratory failure. I know what it's like to be intubated and put
on mechanical ventilation. It's a traumatic experience and I wish
nobody else would ever have to experience it.

Lives are at risk NOW.
We need the Advanced Clean Truck Rule NOW.  
Please ACT NOW. 

Thank you.
