Mission

Our mission is to fight against fossil fuel executives and industries that have turned our communities into dumping grounds for toxic waste, poisoning our air, water, lan, and bodies. We organize to oppose giant oil refineries, dirty gas-fired power plants, and drill sites next to our homes and schools. We organize against oil and gas lobbyists who have bought off politicians and rewrote our states climate policies to pad their profits, in order to bring environmental justice to our communities.

Program accomplishments

  • Energy Justice Project: Seeks to ensure California transitions equitably from dirty fossil fuels to 100% clean, renewable energy by mobilizing residents in low-income communities of color to advocate for the expansion of renewable energy access and small-scale clean energy generation in their commumities. CEJAs Regenerate California campaign is part of this project, with our partner the Sierra Club. This campaign seeks to shut down all gas-fired power plants in California and replacing them with community-beneficial clean energy and other projects. CEJAs SOMAH (Solar on Multifamily Affordable Housing) program is another component that seeks to ensure equitable access to rooftop solar, energy bill savings and paid job training opportunities in th solar industry.

  • Land Use Project: Green Zones are areas that have experienced historic disinvestment and neglect - most often low-income communities and communities of color. - where residents have been organizing for decades to reduce industrial pollution and implement solutions that address the unhealthy (and often discriminatory) land use patterns that have shaped how our communities look today. Green Zones uses place-based strategies to transform areas overburdened by pollution into healthy, thriving neighborhoods through comprehensive, community-led, solution-oriented, and collaborative approaches.
    Expenses $846,161 · grants $335,000
  • Civic Engagement Project: Seeks to engage voters of color in environmental justice communities to support just polices that protect community health and well-being. Our goal is to enhance the capacity of residents to conduct civic engagement activities to strengthen the EJ voter bloc across California. This is achieved by supporting the creation and implementation of targeted civic engagement outreach and related educational programs and materials with our grassroots membership.
    Expenses $661,027
  • Climate Justice Project: Seeks to advance statewide climate policies that protect and benefit EJ communities and meet fossil fuel phase-out goals while most effectively fighting climate change. Our goals are to strengthen collaboration with local partners to improve Cap-and-trade policies, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and related pollutants, and block dirty hydrogen infrastructure. Sustainable transportation and building meaningful partnerships with labor groups to align on Just Transition priorities are also areas of work under this project.
