The problem at hand.
Over the past century, temperatures in the Bay Area have risen by around 1.7 degrees Fahrenheit, raising the likelihood of flooding, drought, and wildfires. The Bay Area has experienced an 8-inch rise in sea level during the previous century. It is estimated that Oakland heatwaves could become 9 degrees hotter by the end of the 21st century.

Our Target
Communities of color are disproportionately impacted by climate change, due to the lack of urban greening in these areas. Approximately 70% of Oakland’s 180,000 Black population reside in locations with high nitrogen dioxide levels, which weaken respiratory systems and make them more susceptible to illness. One in two new cases of childhood asthma in Oakland’s neighborhoods, where the populations of people of color exceeds 70%, were brought on by air pollution.

How we help.
We will concentrate on addressing climate change, enhancing infrastructure, and reviving communities in partnership with Our City Forest and focus on urban greening. Since 1994, Our City Forest has actively fought against global warming by planting trees and other vegetation throughout the Bay Area. We will cultivate a green and healthy community by planting it forward.
