Public Education

At Our Children’s Earth Foundation (OCE), we believe that knowledge is power—especially when it comes to protecting our environment, public health, and future generations.

Empowering Communities Through Education & Advocacy

For over 25 years, OCE has worked as an advocacy-driven organization, led by a team of attorneys and experts dedicated to enforcing environmental laws and holding agencies accountable.

But advocacy alone isn’t enough. Public education and community engagement are critical to ensuring that environmental protections serve the people they were designed to protect. That’s why we work to share knowledge, amplify voices, and equip communities with the tools they need to fight for clean air, safe water, and a healthier planet.

Why This Matters

Too often, the legal and regulatory systems that should protect public health and the environment are inaccessible to the people who need them most. Communities most affected by pollution—working-class families, people of color, children, and seniors—bear the greatest burden yet often have the fewest resources to fight back.

Now, more than ever, citizens must take action—by engaging with lawmakers, attending public hearings, and holding agencies accountable for protecting our shared resources.
