Cindy Montanez tells City Hall crowd, ‘Only God knows how long you’ll have on this planet, so do everything you can.’
In August, the San Fernando City Council approved a motion to rename the park, which is shared by both cities, in tribute to Montañez, who oversees TreePeople,“I said to you a few weeks ago when the community rallied and came together to celebrate your contributions, but we wouldn’t let anyone forget what you do,” said Councilmember Monica Rodriguez, who represents the Seventh District, which includes parts of the East San Fernando Valley.
Montañez’s advocacy began as an undergraduate student at UCLA when she joined a hunger strike calling for a Chicano Studies program. The hunger strike led UCLA to establish what is now called the César E. Chávez Department of Chicana and Chicano Studies, which educates students on the life and history of Chicanas/Chicanos and Latinas/Latinos.
Her legislative work focused on education, the environment, health care, and consumer and worker protection. In March 2016, she was appointed as the CEO of TreePeople, and elected to the San Fernando City Council in 2020.
