#ICYMI: Recording now available! ISC President Rebecca Kaduru spoke at Devex’s Climate Week Summit “The Future Can’t Wait.” This 10 min conversation covers how ISC is working with the EPA and other partners to ensure that critical environmental justice funding makes it to the communities that need it the most—those that are disproportionately impacted by the climate crisis.

Hurricanes don’t hit all communities the same way, and some communities face greater challenges with these massive storms. One example is evacuation—while it may *seem* like the easiest way to avoid death and injury from catastrophic storms, not everyone has the same ability to evacuate. Sadly, this hurricane season is just one example of the way that climate change is harming communities. Our hearts go out to those affected by climate disasters like Helene and Milton. #climatechange #hurricaneseason #severeweather

Special thanks Devex for hosting and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for joining us to discuss historic funding for #environmentaljustice! #DevexEvent #UNGA79 #climatechange #funding

While in El Paso, Texas for our 2024 Partnership for Resilient Communities convening, we were able to visit our partner, La Mujer Obrera. We are so thankful for them taking the time to share their community with us! Members of the cohort visited Tierra es Vida—the organization's community farm—and learned about the one acre plot of land where the LMO team is reclaiming ancestral food growing practices. Membership of the cohort also got to try their hand at making fresh tortillas! #climatechange #communities #resilience #Texas #communityfarming #food

Hello, #Texas! We are so excited to kick off our 2024 convening for our Partnership for Resilient Communities (PRC) project in El Paso! This annual event brings PRC partners, climate leaders of color, and community-based organizations together to address climate issues affecting communities across the U.S. Communities of color and low-income neighborhoods are disproportionately affected by climate change impacts, and our PRC project works to increase the resilience of these communities. #climatechange #communities #resilience
