尋找一個叫做家的地方
janey7875我訪問到的阿嬤也有在高度人力密集的產業中工作過,如餐飲、紡織等等,反映了當代大環境中原民來到都市的處境。都市原民作為台灣產業發展的推手之一,卻無法擁有安身立命的家,而被迫在各處流浪,直到近代才開啟了與政府溝通的橋樑,卻依然有種種難題需要克服。

How do they maintain such relationship in the urban setting? What is the meaning of sea to them after living in Hsinchu for decades? Do they feel the difference between the sea in Hsinchu and inTaidung? Why?
What advice would you give to individuals or organizations interested in working on environmental and social justice issues in low-income communities and communities of color, based on CRPE's experiences?
How does CRPE measure the impact of its work, and what data or metrics does the organization use to track progress?
Can you provide examples of some of CRPE's most significant successes in addressing environmental and social justice issues, and the strategies that were employed to achieve these successes?
This organization is based upon supporting grassroots movements with the necessary legal to represent and support local activists effectively. CRPE also consciously makes an effort to represent historically underrepresented and marginalized communities.
California Green Zones | (CRPE) wrote a piece regarding CRPE and spoke highly of this organization and its efforts to support underserved communities in the San Joaquin Valley.
Kern Community Foundation, Fresno County, and King Community Activists are groups from the local area that support and collaborate with CRPE.
Mainstream agricultural farming is conducted within this area. It produces an obscene amount of pollution that is toxic to the local community, but at the same time, the industry is a significant employer for the local area.
CRPE seems to be proud that they are working within the San Joaquin Valley in one of the most polluted areas in the nation, “West of the Mississippi.” It also claims that by empowering locals with the necessary resources, they can amplify the already “robust vision for change” as well as “the willpower [of the community] to make it happen.”
They share the cases they are actively working on and provide further details and documentation of how those legal battles proceed. I feel as if the information itself is credible because of the validity of the organization's purpose and then the team of active lawyers working on each case.
CRPE seems most proactive around legal advocacy work. They support and represent the needs of the communities they work with to help them reach their goals.
