<span>Depave is a small nonprofit organization based in Portland, Oregon that empowers disenfranchised communities to overcome social and environmental injustices and adapt to climate change through urban re-greening. We transform over-paved places, create resilient community greenspaces, promote workforce development and education, and advocate for policy change to undo manifestations of systemic racism. We work with public and private schools, communities of faith, and community-centered businesses or nonprofits to remove asphalt and replace it with gardens, playgrounds, bioswales and community green spaces that reduce stormwater pollution and support environmental education, natureplay, and urban agriculture.</span>
