The local Alliance community benefits from the support of: Communities for a Better Environment, Ecology Center, Global Community Monitor, Greenaction for Health and Environmental Justice, NAACP Berkeley Branch, West Berkeley Neighborhood Development Corporation, and many other allies (you know who you are). In case you're curious, you can check out the outdated Alliance blog that first launched the Alliance onto the Internet.
