Through these workshop, EYCEJ Youth began the process of forming stories highlighting the role that the LA River has taken in communities of color living along it. The photography and films highlight the many faces and stories that form part of the LA River in an effort to bring attention to the needs of our communities to see improvements and facilitate the use of the LA River as a source of transportation, exercise, creative space, green space, and shelter connecting communities along the 710 fwy. <a href=\"http:\/\/eycej.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_1927-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2192 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/eycej.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_1927-1.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1927\" width=\"431\" height=\"291\" \/><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, films will be used as a public comment tool to push forward in supporting LA River and Bike Improvements of our communities through Community Alternative 7 (CA 7) for the 710 Fwy project.
