East Bay Alliance for a Sustainable Economy (EBASE)

Oakland, California activist group

The roots of EBASE go back to the summer of 1998 when a ground-breaking collaboration between labor, community, and faith won the Oakland Living Wage Ordinance, boosting wages for city service workers. The partners who united for this victory recognized the alliance’s enormous potential to advance economic justice throughout the East Bay. With this awareness, EBASE was founded in 1999. Since then, EBASE has built powerful bridges between truck drivers and environmentalists, congregants and immigrants, and residents and workers to bring about major victories for working people.
