For over 16 years, Margaret has been the Co-Director for the West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project (WOEIP), after founding the program in 2000. She has been involved in social justice for over 50 years, and has worked as an active volunteer in West Oakland for over 22 years. Noticing that an above average number of children were being sent to the hospital with severe asthma symptoms, Margaret set out to demonstrate that one cause was air pollution from trucks passing through the community. She believes that everybody has the right to clean air, and that the best way to achieve that is to go out and make changes at a grassroots level to impact industry and help shape policy.
