Watershed Moments for Healthy and Equitable Communities 
The Leadership Council for Justice and Accountability - one of CRC's core partners on environmental justice projects in rural California - and Fresno residents won two victories in their fight against the siting of unhealthy, polluting land uses in their communities, and for government accountability and robust public process. These victories demonstrate the momentum shift underway in Fresno as community health and community voice take on a central role in land use and planning decisions. The Leadership Council and several other community partners have also recently used the CRC's Cumulative Environmental Vulnerability Analysis in their critique of Riverside County's Coachella Valley transit plan for not serving the most disadvantaged communities in the Coachella Valley.
