Movement Building Projects & Collaborations

OAEC convenes, facilitates, and hosts movement leaders from organizations whose work towards environmental and social justice is in line with our strategic priorities. We’ve engaged in the following collaborations to help work toward solutions for some of the most pressing issues of our time.

Alliance for Land-based Mutual Aid (ALMA)

The Alliance for Land-based Mutual Aid (ALMA) is a bioregional network of community land-based projects across the broader Bay Area. Together, the seven founding community organizations (Black Ag Tech, Movement Generation, North Bay Jobs with Justice, OAEC, PODER, Shelterwood Collective, and The Cultural Conservancy) tend over 1,000 acres of Bay Area land.
