Shutting Down the Largest Urban Oil Field with Climate Activist and Cancer Survivor Nalleli Cobo

Nalleli Cobo became a climate activist at the age of 9 when she learned that the toxic oil-drilling site across the street from her home in Los Angeles was responsible for making her sick. Now in her early twenties, Nalleli's activism continues. Her fight against urban oil extraction has led to a unanimous vote by the Los Angeles City Council and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to ban new oil exploration, and to phase out existing oil drilling sites in LA, the largest urban oil field in the United States. Nalleli shares her inspiring story.  Nalleli Cobo is the co-founder of People Not Pozos, the co-founder of South Central Youth Leadership Coalition, and a 2022 Goldman Environmental Prize winner.
