Giving West Oakland more than a seat at the table.
We give impacted residents the tools to participate in the political, social, and natural forces that impact their lives.
Environmental Justice
WOEIP is a resident led, community-based environmental justice organization dedicated to achieving healthy homes, healthy jobs, and healthy neighborhoods for all who live, work, learn, and play in West Oakland, California.
Air Quality Research
Using a Participatory Research model, our programs and projects focus the diverse voices of impacted residents on a clear message of toxics reduction and neighborhood planning for local benefits. Our community's research has fueled legislation and regulatory policy in the City of Oakland and the State of California.
Coalition Building
Our Collaborative Problem-Solving model is a blueprint for how local communities can bring diverse stakeholders together to drive on-the-ground change.
