​Our Story

The San Diego Urban Sustainability Coalition (SDUSC) was founded in response to growing awareness that Southeast San Diego lacked both representation in key sustainability conversations and access to the emerging green economy. Today, SDUSC works to close that gap by uniting communities of concern, stakeholders, and mission-aligned organizations through grassroots organizing. Our mission is to inform policy, drive equitable processes, and improve quality of life by expanding opportunities for Southeast San Diego and other historically resilient communities.
