CURE, Inc. CURE promotes planning and resource management to equitably balance growth and economic stability wit

Citizens United for Resources and the Environment (CURE) is committed to empowering local communities to demand accountability in government decisions involving natural resources and land use. CURE promotes planning and decision-making that equitably balances efforts to achieve economic stability and effectuate growth with long-term conservation, public health and safety goals. We accomplish our m

ission by:
•Presenting independent research demonstrating that long-term economic security depends on decision-making that acknowledges the true consequences of growth and incorporates strategies to preserve open space, clean air and water, and protect wildlife habitat.
•Opposing unsafe projects that deplete natural resources or expose communities to unhealthy or dangerous conditions, such as worsening air and water quality, exposure to toxic materials, or increased risk of flooding.
•Promoting policies and projects that exemplify sustainable and balanced development.
•Reducing corruption and undue influence in planning and decision making by promoting greater transparency and stronger checks and balances, including improved disclosure and conflict of interest rules. In addition, when citizen activism and lobbying prove ineffective, CURE sponsors legislation in support of our core values. Much of CURE's work has been based in the Inland Southern California counties of Riverside, San Bernardino and Imperial, where increased urban growth, resource depletion and systemic poverty require urgent attention. Nevertheless, CURE's experience forming multidisciplinary alliances to resolve land use and resource controversies, and its expertise with impact litigation can readily be employed elsewhere.

Happy Earth Day Everyone! Community engagement was on point with this fruit tree planting at Casa Blanca Home of Neighborly Service. Located in Riverside, the center provides education, recreation, and spiritual support for people of all ages. Tree planting day saw a wide range of community members come together. The volunteers from Target made quick work of the event, planting 20 Avocado trees for the community to enjoy and added a valuable resource for local food security.

A special thank you to everyone involved:
- the volunteers at Targetand their generous donation
- CURE, Inc. and En-Gage Riverside for coordinating the event
- Greenbelt Growers Nursery Inc for providing the trees and installation support
- The volunteers at Casa Blanca Home of Neighborly Service for being an integral part of their community
- Council member Shawn Mill for putting community first
