We envision a society where everyone has equitable access to healthy food and clean air and water, and underserved communities are included in decision making processes that affect them.
Together, we move beyond the damaging environmental practices of the past and collectively work to support and maintain ecological resilience and balance.
Join us for a July 30th webinar on the Climate Protection Program!
Join us on Tuesday, July 30th at 5:30 PM for a free, virtual conversation about the Climate Protection Program (CPP). Learn how the CPP can equitably address climate change by centering environmental justice communities, including people of color, low-income families, seniors, folks with disabilities, and those living in rural and coastal regions who experience climate change first and worst.
Attend this free virtual webinar to learn more about CPP’s investments in our communities, examples of projects it can be used for, and what YOU can do to make a difference. The Oregon Climate Protection Protection is an easy way to make a positive impact and address the root cause of climate change. We want to hear your voice!
