In the summer of 2021, Mujeres de laTierra (MDLT) launched a program called "Vamos a la Playa" to address historically underrepresented communities' barriers to accessing beaches across Southern California. Although some beachfront homeowners would like to tell you otherwise, beaches along the California coast are public access open spaces managed by agencies such as the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA). Vamos a la Playa is designed to teach community members about public access to our beautiful Southern California coastline and provide an opportunity to learn about marine life and environmental responsibility. MDLT worked alongside the MRCA and nonprofit organizations like Pacoima Beautiful and local neighborhood councils to organize trips to the Malibu Coast (Lechuza Beach and Escondido Beach) to bring inner-city families from Northeast LA to spend the day at beaches they had never been to. This program is designed to dismantles these perceived accessibility barriers while offering a fun, relaxing, and inclusive communal experience for all ages.
