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

Transform your understanding of community health with cutting-edge data tools! Join us for the Silos to Synergy webinar, where we’ll explore a suite of powerful tools—like CDC public health data, EJScreen, and NASA’s EJ Data Catalog—that map out community vulnerabilities, track land and waterway impacts, and reveal links between ecosystem health and health disparities in socioeconomic data. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of each tool’s purpose, how to access and use them, and how to layer multiple tools to create a holistic view of local #climate and health challenges, all from an #ecosystem perspective.
