Our Work

East Portland residents are ready to get organized for clean healthy air. Learn more about how we work in solidarity with our community members to take action  in East County.

Community Education

In the Portland Metro Area we have the worst diesel pollution in the country. We prioritize educating our community on solutions and how we can keep ourselves safe.

Mutual
aid

Air toxins pose a deadly threat. The most systemically marginalized communities face the biggest health risks. We work to get materials that can keep people safe into the hands of those who need them the most.
Green Lents has engaged community members in Lents and greater East Portland on air quality issues since 2016. Our community members often face disproportionate impacts from diesel pollution and toxic emissions from industrial facilities. The video below tells the stories of various community members that are directly impacted by these issues. In 2017, we mobilized Spanish-speaking residents that live next to I-205 through an information session on Cleaner Air Oregon. We then held a Spanish-language storytelling workshop and helped residents submit public comment for the Cleaner Air Oregon program. Our organization works in coalition with other air quality advocacy groups in Oregon to ensure that all community members have access to clean air.
