The community engagement effort for the GPU is a key component and will include an extensive and inclusive community outreach process, with additional resources dedicated to engaging communities historically underrepresented and excluded from traditional planning processes and often most negatively impacted by City policies. Our partner, the Deeply Rooted Collaborative, (a partnership of 13 community groups) will conduct community engagement focused on reaching Oakland’s most impacted residents. This includes working class communities, communities of color, unhoused people, formerly incarcerated individuals, undocumented folks, youth, and communities who are experiencing environmental injustices.
