WELL’s statement regarding Los Angeles officials’ racist leaked audio

Water Education for Latino Leaders (WELL) values developing a just, fair and equitable society – particularly as it relates to California’s water supply. News of this weekend’s release of a recorded meeting between Los Angeles Latino political and labor leaders was received with disbelief, anger, and sadness.

People of color have been trying to gain economic, social, and political power for hundreds of years in this country. Racism and discrimination are illnesses we hope to eradicate since they only benefit those with power.

WELL is committed to our cross-cultural outreach. We will not be hindered in empowering our communities to address California’s water challenges. We will continue to educate leaders on the importance of sustaining California’s water supply in a healthy, safe, and affordable manner.

With love,

Victor Griego
President & Founder
