Our Statement About Diversity and Inclusion
We stand in solidarity with our community speaking out for racial and social justice. In that capacity, we pledge to expand our efforts towards the inclusion of communities of color to share our efforts to help Coyote Creek remain vibrant and open for everyone to enjoy. To do so, we seek to ensure healthy open spaces along our creeks by providing opportunities for anyone, regardless of income, race, or gender to learn about and explore nature.
Our Statement About Creek Health and Homelessness
The need for a healthy watershed along the Coyote Creek corridor is vital in a growing urban area like the Silicon Valley. All are welcome to participate in our mission to have a healthy creek.
Keep Coyote Creek Beautiful recognizes the impact of our unhoused community along the creeks. KCCB is ready to listen and is participating with organizations pursuing cooperative solutions to the homeless crisis.
