TRANSIT JUSTICE AND HEALTH PROGRAM: OPAL is organizing for better public transportation, particularly for transit-dependent communities in East Portland. We are in a base building stage: listening to the experiences of Trimet bus riders, building relationships, and conducting extensive research. OPAL’s BUS RIDERS UNITE! is the community organizing arm which aims to mobilize those most affected by cuts and fare hikes and to advocate for transit equity. Learn more about OPAL’s lead community program.
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE POLICY PRORAM: OPAL works to support our community organizing with public policy research and action to advance environmental, economic and social equity criteria. OPAL is a leading community member of the Governor’s statewide Environmental Justice Task Force, and participates in various local and state public policy efforts that relate to environmental justice.
