WHO WE ARE:

“It’s Our Coast” is a coalition of individuals and organizations dedicated to advancing and upholding the goals of the Coastal Act.

UNITE HERE Local 11 has been fighting to uphold coastal access for years. We represent over 32,000 hotel, airport, and stadium workers across Southern California and Phoenix, Arizona. Hospitality and food service workers are the unseen force behind Southern California’s robust tourism industry. Workers in luxury resorts and hotels along our Coast but often are priced out of their coastal homes and have to travel long distances to work. Our workers are the canaries in the coal mine when it comes to environmental and coastal access inequalities.
