 Our Mission 

The mission of Organized Blocks Of Boyle Heights/First Blocks of Whittier Boulevard is to bring back the indigenous cultural values of respect for each other and see the Earth as a valued member of our community that we need to protect, be conscious of, and respect. As representatives of our Blocks, together we solve problems, work towards unity, share resources, collaborate with neighbors, and fight for each other when we are under attack.




Look Familiar? It Shouldn't. 

For years, major streets in Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles have been denied decent and frequent cleaning services. Even City Officials agree: our streets have never been more trashed. 

It's common sense. By requiring ground crews to sweep our major streets, not only will our community be cleaner, but the City would be doing its job in directing its well-established cleaning system to look after our streets as they do Beverly Hills or Hollywood. This is an issue that touches everyone from children to students to longtime residents. There is no reason as to why we shouldn’t deserve to see, feel and experience clean streets in our own neighborhood.

That's Where We Come In...

Organized Blocks Of Boyle Heights/First Blocks of Whittier Boulevard is a GrassRoots organization made up of hundreds of volunteers from all Blocks in Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles. We have done 30 community clean-ups and have collected over 230,000 pounds or 100 tons of trash.

All of this and we can’t get a proper meeting with our CD14 Representative Kevin de León.  

Kevin de Leons office cancelling 10/19 meeting because we wanted the community present in solidarity with FBOWB mission.
