Planting Justice is a 501(c)(3) organization based in Oakland, California with a mission to democratize access to affordable nutritious food by empowering urban residents with the skills, resources, and knowledge to grow organic food, expand economic opportunities, and take action for environmental justice and sustainability in the San Francisco Bay Area. We work to achieve our mission through four programs. Our Urban Food Forest program brings low-income urban residents together to build cooperative, productive gardens at schools, community centers, and apartment complexes.
