Nos une nuestra visi\u00f3n de un r\u00edo Tijuana y una costa en el sur de California y el norte de Baja California donde todos los ni\u00f1os sean libres de jugar en la escuela y en la playa sin correr el riesgo de ir a la sala de emergencias; donde el r\u00edo, el estuario y la costa sustenten un h\u00e1bitat vibrante, vida silvestre y corredores migratorios; donde todos podamos respirar aire limpio, nadar y surfear en agua limpia y disfrutar del aire libre sin enfermarnos; y donde una econom\u00eda robusta y espacios de trabajo seguros apoyen a los visitantes, al personal de emergencias y a las familias trabajadoras sin ser atacados por la contaminaci\u00f3n t\u00f3xica.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Artist Statement<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Josu\u00e9 Balt\u00e9zar (he\/him) is an artist and designer who believes art should be accessible to everyone. He understands the crucial role that art and design play in advocating for environmental and social justice.\u00a0<\/p>

This design for the Tijuana River Coalition brings together various elements to symbolize the dedication to advocacy for and protection of the Tijuana River region, which includes both sides of the US\/MX border. A mountain sits prominently in the center, with two houses at its base, representing our communities on both sides of the border. The Tijuana River flows through the mountains and down into the foreground, where the river meets the Pacific Ocean. On the left and right of the mountains are native plants, including giant kelp on the left and prickly pear cactus on the right. Above the mountains, a brown pelican and a monarch butterfly fly toward a radiating sun. The design aims to convey a sense of interconnectedness and call attention to the need to protect our natural environment and the communities along the entire Tijuana River region.

<\/span><\/p>

The eye, heart, and lungs elements combine ocean waves, representing our shared coastline, with the human elements that connect us to our environment and each other.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
