Overview
This renewal grant would support legal and community organizing to ensure that California’s San Joaquin Valley finally attains air quality levels that meet federal health standards. The community organizing models and legal precedents established through this work may eventually benefit efforts in other parts of the country that are similarly failing to meet federal air quality standards, particularly in the upper Midwest, where the Foundation is supporting a myriad of approaches to retire some of the nation’s oldest and worst-polluting coal plants.
