Oakland's First Environmental Justice Element (open until July 15th)

From the city of Oakland, Planning & Building:

Share Your Vision for a Healthy and Environmentally Just Oakland

We are seeking the public's input to fully understand the excessive pollution burden, health impacts, and needs of Oakland's Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) and low-income communities.

 

Use our interactive Environmental Justice Community Hub to participate in community conversations about Environmental Justice (EJ) in your neighborhood. Use this tool to explore a draft Map of Potential Environmental Justice Communities in Oakland, share your vision for a healthy neighborhood, and document local environmental justice issues and solutions.

 

Your feedback will be used to help the City improve the draft map and develop environmentally just policies to be included in the Oakland 2045 General Plan Update. Click the button with your preferred language below. The survey will remain open until July 15, 2022.
