Founded in 1993, The Greenlining Institute is committed to building a just economy that is inclusive, cooperative, sustainable, participatory, fair, and healthy. Our multifaceted advocacy efforts address the root causes of racial, economic, and environmental inequities in order to meaningfully transform the material conditions of communities of color in California and across the country. We act as an incubator of new policy ideas, a bridge builder between people, communities and government, and an advocate to build momentum for transformative change. Because economic opportunity has many parts, and they all connect, we work on a variety of major policy issues, from the economy to environmental policy, health care and many others. We don’t see these issues as being in separate silos, but as interconnected threads in a web of opportunity.
