A town hall meeting organized by the Madera Coalition for Community Justice and New America Media to address the protection of public lands drew nearly 40 people.
Organizers aimed to follow up on environmental issues both groups have sought Rep. Jim’s Costa’s (D-Fresno) support on.

Organizers are planning another town hall meeting where Costa can attend after the elections in June...
