OCEJ is a fiscally sponsored project of OneOC and our mission is to advance environmental justice in the ancestral lands of the Acjachemen and Tongva Nations, now known as Orange County. Our goals include building a grassroots movement by training resident leaders, especially youth; expanding an engaged base of voters and activists; and forming coalitions with diverse community stakeholders. We aim to improve environmental quality in underserved communities by addressing issues like lead contamination in Santa Ana, soil and blood lead levels in residents, water quality in communities of color across OC, and the protection of local Indigenous sacred sites.
As a fiscal project of OneOC, OCEJ’s 2025 programs will build off of the momentum of our past year’s accomplishments to expand our work across the region and create new coalitions to advance environmental justice in Orange County. Our priorities for this year include: expanding access to soil, water, and air testing in residential communities across Orange County; building support networks so communities can collectively respond to natural disasters and other emergencies; and finally, building leadership among Orange County low-income youth of color through our Defending the Sacred internship and summer organizing academy.

In 2024, Seed the Vote sent over 5,000 volunteers to canvass for federal candidates and issues in Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, in partnership with the grassroots organizations that lead the work in those states. In 2025, we will be sending canvassers to Wisconsin for the Supreme Court election on April 1, and exploring a fall program in Virginia, Pennsylvania, or New Jersey. In 2026, we win back the House.
Seed the Vote is a project of Everyday People PAC. Everyday People PAC is a grassroots, social justice political fund mobilizing volunteers to defeat Trumpism. EPP supports the electoral work of grassroots organizations in swing states who are working to build the long term power of working class communities and communities of color. Seed the Vote recruits, trains and mobilizes thousands of volunteers from across the U.S. to help defeat the Right and grow people-powered movements for the long term. We partner with organizations rooted in working-class communities and communities of color in battleground states that are organizing towards key elections and building grassroots political power year-round. Our goal is to contribute to the essential work of building a progressive movement that is capable of transforming U.S. politics in order to make possible much bigger wins—on climate, healthcare, housing, good jobs, immigration, policing, reproductive justice, and more—over the next decade.
