Plan Bay Area 2040: Focus Group with New Voices Are Rising

New Voices Are Rising seeks to increase civic participation within under-represented communities, increase young people’s commitment to environmental justice, and reduce air and water pollution that severely impact both human health and the health of the San Francisco Bay. The program helps young people gain the skills and experience in civic engagement that they need to begin to tackle the problems – including environmental health problems – that disproportionately impact their communities

Young people from the New Voices Are Rising program attended a Plan Bay Area 2040 focus group on May 18, 2017. Attendees learned about the Draft Plan and shared their thoughts on the Draft Plan.
