The California Environmental Protection Agency announced it’s donating more than $1 million to several organizations in the Bay Area and throughout the state as part of its 2020 Environmental Justice Small Grants program.
Under the initiative, the funds will go towards nonprofit organizations and federal recognized tribal governments supporting vulnerable communities through environmental projects.
According to the CalEPA, the grants are critically needed this year in particular as COVID-19 has disproportionately affected Black, brown and indigenous communities.
“These grants may be small in size, but they have huge impacts on the community-led projects they fund address real problems our vulnerable communities are facing today in terms of both equity and economic recovery,”
California Secretary for Environmental Protection said in a statement.
In the Bay Area, CalEPA has granted $20,333 to the Brightline Defense to fund a series of workshops on wildfire and climate resiliency for tenants and young people; $50,000 to Bayview Hunters Point Community Advocates in San Francisco to trains and employ 11 residents for community research projects; $49,242 to Earth Team in Contra Costa and Alameda counties to develop climate action hazard plans at local schools; and $49,994 to the Rose Foundation in Alameda County, which trains 25 students from disadvantaged communities how to plant gardens.
Since it’s inception, CalEPA’s grants program has awarded more than $5.4 million to nearly 200 environmental projects throughout the state.
Nice to know we have enough money in the state to give democrats back their tax dollars. Don’t expect to know what they wasted the money on.
Wow so the cal epa is the new tax laundry for democrats
As they give money to democrats non profits
Lol and natives to entice votes
Then 5 paragraphs of garbage to sound legit
Wow the scams are really flowing hard
The democrats seem scared and really lashing out to win this election any way they can through any means and or tactics
Showing their money scams in the process and hiding places and not hiding it since again the democrats will underestimate Americans as they again say no to corrupt democrat politicians and their anti America tactics
As they use Covid and race to push their narratives toward the injustice of manipulation of voters by any means
And pandering of native Americans that they care nothing about until election time of course
Bunch of slick scammers at it again
But dem voters love the smooth silky talking politicians who promise what ever the voter wants them to
but never reciprocate only blame someone else with slander and race baiting
They don’t even hide it anymore and the voters still vote for them
This is why the electoral college is exists
And the reason why the demorats are trying to dismantle it
So their voter fraud can win them all the elections and they can then install the take over government of national socialist
Or maybe not
Maybe they are misunderstood
And actually are caring for our tax dollars and not stealing them
Wait who wrote that
What is Marxist calEPA doing about the massive clear cutting in the northern Sierra?
I thought Democrats cared about the environment?
Open G maps and go to satellite view look at all those dots around Mt Lassen and Shasta – zoom down and you see they are all clear cuts
This type of logging used to be severely restricted in the Sierra Nevada
Now that Marxists have distracted the population with their cultural war the massive destruction is going unnoticed and the usual enviro advocates like the Sierra Club are silent
if you are a D voter take a look
Wouldn’t you prefer that sensible logging oversight be more important a priority than doling out grants to Marxist causes
popcorn, keep drinking the koolaid. California is a cesspool of corruption and feces. I left as I would not live in California one day under one of the most corrupt human beings on earth. California has been under Demorarts rule for decades. So why are the poor getting poorer. Why do you have some of the highest taxes in the country. You have on of the worst education system in the country. You have one of the highest utilities in the country. You have the most feces on the streets of any other state. You have the worst roads in the country. Your state spent billions on the train to nowhere. I could keep going. So if you think California is great you are a misguided soul. Trump 2020
“… $49,994 to the Rose Foundation in Alameda County, which trains 25 students from disadvantaged communities how to plant gardens”
$2,000 a student. Wow, probably could have asked a local garden center to do it for free.
So who ‘owns’ the Rose Foundation??? Someone getting a favor repaid?
You know it is not a Republican.
