West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project
West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project, co-founded in 2004 by Margaret Gordon and Brian Beveridge, uses hyperlocal air monitoring, AB 617 community action planning, and Truck Route Ordinance enforcement to reduce pollution in West Oakland. Cancer risk from air pollution fell 54 percent across West Oakland between 2017 and 2025 through WOEIP-driven policy.

WOEIP co-founded by Margaret Gordon and Brian Beveridge in 2004 emerged from the Cypress Freeway reroute organizing and has since produced measurable air-quality improvements through community-based monitoring, the 2019 West Oakland Community Action Plan, and the Truck Route Ordinance.
