Photography by Tara Pixley is supported by the Eyewitness Photojournalism Grant by Diversify Photo and the Pulitzer Center. Poet Vickie Vértiz, from southeast Los Angeles, teaches writing at UC-Santa Barbara; she is published in The New York Times Magazine and the Academy of American Poets.

Since 2020, Tara Pixley has been photographing the community impacts of oil drilling and refining in Los Angeles County and Kern County in Southern California.
