🚨 Important news from The White House including the U.S. U.S. Department of Labor, FEMA, and US US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to protect workers and families from extreme weather and support disadvantaged communities most at risk from climate change. This is the first-ever proposed federal safety standard to protect workers from excessive heat. If finalized, this rule would help protect approximately 36 million workers. These efforts are part of the Biden-Harris Administration's Justice40 Initiative, ensuring that 40% of the benefits from federal investments flow to marginalized and overburdened communities. Another stride in climate resilience and environmental justice! 🌍💪 #ClimateAction#EnvironmentalJustice#CommunityResilience#InvestingInAmerica#OSHA#DHS#FEMA#EPA

Reflecting on the significance of Juneteenth, which commemorates June 19, 1865—the day federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, to take control of the state and ensure the freedom of all enslaved people, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect in January 1863. Today, we honor and celebrate the freedom, history, culture, and achievements of African Americans. At SustainabiliD, we collaborate with partners to advance initiatives that ensure all communities, particularly those historically marginalized, benefit from sustainable practices. We will continue to learn from our past and from each other, as we work towards a sustainable and just future. We are grateful to learn from the wisdom of these leaders on our advisory board: Mayor Michael A. Nutter, Carla Walker-Miller, and Ebbie Parsons, III.
