Biography

Nalleli Cobo was raised in South Los Angeles in a Latino family.[3] Like many of her neighbors and family members, she grew up suffering a range of severe ill-health symptoms medically attributed to toxic emissions from the nearby petroleum operations.[4]

In 2015, she co-founded South Central Youth Leadership Coalition[3] which joined other organisations to successfully sue the city of Los Angeles for rubber-stamping oil projects in communities of colour.[5] The oil industry countersued, and lost.[6] Cobo is best known for leading that coalition that helped shut down permanently the local toxic oil-drilling site and changed Los Angeles environmental law.[7]

At age 19, in 2020, Cobo was diagnosed with stage two reproductive cancer, necessitating multiple surgeries and procedures to remove her entire reproductive tract, radiation, chemo, and battles with infections, in treatment alone because of the Covid-19 pandemic.[8][9]

Cobo and Greta Thunberg have worked together on environmental campaigns.[10]

In 2022, Cobo was included on the Time100 Next list.[11]
