Program Manager Mason Lam represented yli during Information & Education (I&E) Days at the State Capitol, organized by the American Heart Association’s Tobacco Endgame Center. Mason met with legislative staff from Assemblymembers Tina McKinnor and Josh Lowenthal, and Senator Lena Gonzalez, amplifying youth research addressing tobacco retailer density. He shared educational zines created by the Youth Leading Change Coalition, led by Program Coordinators, Jacob Diaz and Itzel Corrales. Youth advocated for healthier neighborhoods with more green spaces than tobacco outlets.
