East Bay Alliance for a Sustainable Economy (EBASE) was established in 1999 in Oakland, California, when a collaboration between labor, community, and faith groups won the Oakland Living Wage Ordinance, which boosted wages for service workers. EBASE serves as a resource and advocacy organization that advances "economic, racial, and social justice by building a just economy based on good jobs and healthy communities." EBASE addresses "the root cause of economic injustice by developing strategic alliances among community, labor, and people of faith to build power and create change with lower income workers and communities of color." EBASE has successfully worked with unions in Contra Costa and Alameda Counties and community groups on issues such as fair development, living wages, immigrant rights, and stemming housing displacement.
