We’ve got some exciting news to share: this month the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) recommended East Oakland be a designated priority community under AB617 to the California Air Resources Board. Read more about this win for New Voices students and the East Oakland community here:

After last month's highly unusual “atmospheric river” downpour over much of California, officials claimed that wildfire season in our state is over. In this post-fire season, what threats remain to our land, watersheds, and communities? To answer this question, we’ve featured several Rose grantees working in post-fire recovery.

We have recently welcomed two new members onto our staff: Nancy Huizar and Jodene Isaacs. They have both joined our grants team and bring with them a wealth of experience and knowledge. In this month's Meet the Rose Community, we are featuring Jodene and Nancy, to learn more about their backgrounds and the work they are doing here at Rose!
