About the Coalition
Rise Stockton is an independent coalition of partners focused on environmental justice. We are determined to build our collective capacity as we create equitable environmental outcomes greater than the sum of each partner’s ability. Rise Stockton plays a steering role to ensure that the environmental justice and green economy work in the community is aligned with its residents’ values and priorities. Functionally, Rise Stockton’s work includes aligning the programs of various partners, advocating for policy that supports partners’ work, and sourcing and directing funding to partners where appropriate.
