Hello! My name is Melani Osiris, and I am raising money to support environmental justice throughout California! This August, I will be attending Congreso, an event hosted by the California Environmental Justice Alliance (CEJA). I will travel to Sacramento to learn about environmental justice priorities and advocacy, then meet with state decision-makers to discuss the changes I want to see in my community.

My trip has already been paid for due to CEJA's previous fundraising efforts. Now, I want to help pay it forward!

Half of all the funding raised by PODER - People Organizing to Demand Environmental and Economic Rights will be shared with my organization to support our local environmental justice efforts. The other half of the funding will go to CEJA to provide all-expenses-paid trips to Sacramento for local advocates, like me, to participate in a future Congreso event.

Plus, your donation can help me win one of many prizes! Gifts of all sizes make an impact and add up to making real change. Thank you for your support!
