Nalleli Cobo, a recipient of the Goldman Environmental Prize, is an activist whose grassroots work helped shut down residential oil drilling sites and initiated the phasing out of the largest urban oil field in the United States. As the co-founder of the South Los Angeles Youth Leadership Coalition, she will share her story of how her community holds the city of Los Angeles accountable for breaches in the Environmental Quality Act.
