Now is the time for us to join forces and work toward a better, more just future! Cate Mingoya-LaFortune reminds us that while there’s no single, 100% solution to the climate crisis, we can create meaningful change through small, individual actions at a hyper-local level. What could that look like in your community? It might mean planting trees, caring for green spaces, joining a community clean up event, or making your voice heard by voting! Every effort counts, and when combined, our actions can lead to meaningful, lasting changes. #TipTheScales #GOTV #YourVoteYourPower
