Clean Air OC is heavily based on community engagement. Our goal is for communities (such as Cypress and La Palma) to be involved in civic policies that aim for healthier outcomes through Tobacco Cessation and Prevention. Our coalition meetings act as a space to discuss how best to implement our strategies to catch the attention of community residents and important decision makers, for our Community Engagement Agreement recipients to update us on their progress toward reaching our goals, to plan our Tobacco Advocacy Day, and all that assists in reaching our goal of creating healthy and breathable air.
