CBE Raises $4,000 in Funding for Environmental Justice Initiatives in East Oakland

We are excited to announce that Communities for a Better Environment (CBE) has successfully raised $4,000 to further its mission of championing environmental justice in California’s communities of color and low-income populations. Founded in 1978, CBE has long been at the forefront of the fight against environmental injustices, working tirelessly to empower residents from heavily polluted urban areas with the skills and resources they need to combat pollution and promote sustainable communities. This recent funding will bolster CBE’s initiatives in East Oakland and beyond, providing crucial support for community organizing, leadership training, and legal assistance aimed at tackling the environmental health threats that disproportionately affect these neighborhoods. With this invaluable financial boost, CBE plans to expand its educational programs, enhance community outreach efforts, and engage in critical advocacy work to hold polluters accountable and influence policy changes that prioritize the health and well-being of vulnerable populations. As CBE continues to build grassroots power, this funding represents a crucial step toward creating greener, healthier environments where every community member can thrive. The collective efforts of residents, allies, and supporters exemplify the strength of community engagement in achieving environmental health and justice. Together, we are building a brighter, more equitable future for all Californians.
