Honoring Earth Day and the Heroes Who Defend It – 2026 Anthony Grassroots Prize Winner: Riverside Neighbors Opposing Warehouses (R-NOW)

Rose is proud to announce the 2026 Anthony Grassroots Environmental Prize winner: Riverside Neighbors Opposing Warehouses (R-NOW)

What started as neighbors speaking up turned into a movement that stopped a massive warehouse project in the Inland Empire—one of the most polluted, warehouse-heavy regions in the country.

What they achieved:

🌏 Blocked an 800-acre mega-warehouse development

🌏 Defended communities from increased truck pollution

🌏 Mobilized hundreds of residents to show up and be heard

And when it mattered most? They packed the hearing—and won unanimously.

✨ This is what it looks like when communities organize.

✨ This is what it looks like when people fight for their future.

✨ This is grassroots power—from the ground up.

Celebrate R-NOW with us today.

In East Oakland, a bicycle is more than a way to get around—it’s a tool for environmental justice, community health, and everyday freedom.

Cycles of Change (CoC) is helping residents reclaim that power. Through The Bikery, a community bike shop offering sliding-scale repairs and hands-on mechanic education, makes safe, affordable transportation accessible to everyone.

Their Bike Club and UpCycle programs open doors for Title I students and low-income adults, teaching basic bike mechanics and providing access to bikes—turning mobility into opportunity. And every ride helps reduce fossil fuel use and air pollution in neighborhoods that have carried the highest burden.

This is the kind of grassroots leadership that inspires us: practical, community-rooted solutions that make daily life healthier and more sustainable.
