POLITICAL MUSCLE
A coalition of civil society groups, including the Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy (LAANE), Pacoima Beautiful, and the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal campaign, meet in the Pacoima Community Center on November 5, 2011 in the San Fernando Valley section of Los Angeles, CA, to share the thinking behind the RePower LA project, which seeks to achieve financial and environmental savings by improving energy-efficiency in the homes of area residents, and creating hundreds of new “green” jobs in the process.

POLITICAL MUSCLE
Citizens organize a petition drive in the San Fernando Valley of northern Los Angeles on September 24, 2011, as part of the Sierra Club’s “Beyond Coal” campaign. Los Angeles currently gets around 40% of its electricity from two dirty coal-fired power plants in Arizona and Utah, and while the city already has a plan to move away from coal over time, the Sierra Club wants to accelerate the pace of change, so that LA is beyond coal by 2020.

ADOLFO FLORES Y CINDY VON QUEDNOW,
Editores
Mientras se incrementaba la tensión durante una de las varias largas noches en la oficina, los editores de esta edición tomamos un momento para reflexionar y vimos las páginas preliminares en nuestras manos. La foto ilustra una madre soltera al lado de sus dos hijos que tienen parálisis cerebral. Su rostro demuestra el amor por sus pequeños, y a la vez, cansancio. Fue entonces que aclaramos nuestras mentes estresadas y vimos la gran pantalla: comprendimos que estábamos trabajando en algo más grande que nosotros.
