Southeast LA and East Oakland have had a long history of environmental racism that has both plagued low-income communities of color with disproportionate pollution burden and prevented them from accessing solutions like renewable energy infrastructure. Because of this, the region also has a long history of community organizing for sustainable solutions, and the SOMAH program is a testament to the power of these efforts. 

The SOMAH program is monumental because it contributes to a transition from fossil fuel energy dependence and offers economic benefits, including job training and lower electricity bills, to those who have been on the frontlines of the struggle for sustainable energy solutions.
