Read and download EBASE’s research on economic injustice in the East Bay, underlying our work to transform key industries and build a just economy for all.

This study of the housing crisis in Concord shows that skyrocketing rents, uninhabitable living conditions, and unjust evictions are forcing longtime families to leave the city. It recommends strong tenant protections to ensure that those most at risk of displacement – particularly low-income residents, immigrants, and families of color – are able to stay in Concord. The report was authored by the EBASE, Central County Regional Group, and First 5 Contra Costa, in collaboration with the Raise the Roof Coalition. Download

This EBASE/Building and Trades Council of Alameda County report presents best practices for community-trades collaboration to achieve strong Community Workforce Agreements (CWAs). CWAs set job standards as well as benefits such as job training programs, targeted hire for disadvantaged local workers, and environmental infrastructure investments. These policies promote equity and inclusion of people color as well as sustainable development for the community. Download
