San Diego Urban Sustainability Coalition

Our Purpose
The San Diego Urban Sustainability Coalition (SDUSC) was created to address systemic inequity after it became increasingly clear across various channels that Southeast San Diego’s community lacked representation in important discussions of sustainability as well as opportunities to enter the green job economy. Today, it exists to bring together communities of concern, stakeholders and like-minded organizations through grassroots organizing to inform processes & policy, to improve the quality of life and to increase opportunities for residents of Southeast San Diego and other resilient communities. 

 "We are an Equity Cornerstone."  

Our Goals

Identify resources to make tools of sustainability accessible to ALL.

What is Environmental Justice?

Environmental Justice is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies.
