## Description

Depave is a brand that is committed to empowering communities and addressing social and environmental injustices through urban re-greening. Their mission is to transform over-paved areas, create resilient community greenspaces, promote workforce development and education, and advocate for policy change. By undoing manifestations of systemic racism, Depave aims to help communities adapt to climate change and promote justice, equity, and diversity. Their vision is to envision a sustainable city where people and wildlife coexist amidst clean air, clean water, robust urban forests, thriving local agriculture, and healthy communities. They recognize the detrimental effects of paved surfaces on stormwater pollution and the disconnection from the natural world. Depave believes in the removal of impervious pavements to reduce pollution and create space for habitat restoration, urban farming, trees, native vegetation, and beauty, fostering a stronger connection to nature. Depave's objectives include providing information and technical assistance for pavement removal, educating the public about the benefits of pavement removal, advocating for minimized impervious pavement in public construction projects, and promoting responsible reuse and recycling of concrete and asphalt. They value community-driven projects, interdependency, care and stewardship, environmental justice, and intentionality. Depave recently adopted a new 5-year Strategic Plan, which represents their dedication to their values, goals, and strategies to work towards their vision. They believe in the importance of defunding the police and reinvesting in communities, focusing on creating inclusive, sustainable, and resilient communities for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) who have historically been denied access to basic human rights and disproportionately impacted by police violence. They support the reallocation of police budgets towards social services and reinvestment in Black communities. Depave acknowledges the leadership of partners such as Imagine Black and Don't Shoot Portland in this area. Depave is an inspiring brand that actively works towards creating a more just and sustainable society, reconnecting communities with nature, and promoting environmental stewardship.
