As communities of color bear the health and economic consequences of #climatechange, we’re grateful to Assemblymembers @MiaBonta @AsmDavidAlvarez for standing with #BIPOC communities & supporting funding for #TCC in the #CABudget! #CALeg
#CA is heading into what’s expected to be its hottest summer on record–and the worst impacts will fall on #BIPOC communities on the frontlines of climate change.
CA’s #TransformativeClimateCommunities program empowers communities on the frontlines of climate change to take action and build resilience. But this year TCC funding was ELIMINATED in @CAGovernor Newsom’s budget.
The #TransformativeClimateCommunities program is a prime example of how #CaLeg can support community-led climate action—but lawmakers must put their money where their mouth is!

The @CAGovernor's #MayRevise budget is expected to come out this week. We’ll be closely watching to see what it includes (or doesn't). We’re fighting to ensure that #equity programs aren’t first on the chopping block. Stay tuned for updates and analysis from our team. #CaLeg
Agree @latimes! Workers need protections! Everyone deserves protection from climate disasters—not just a privileged few. Disproportionate exposure to #extremeheat is another injustice facing our communities. https://t.co/RE7D0aGuh4
Pretty disappointed to see no new funding for Regional Climate Collaboratives program from @CAGovernor's #CABudget. This program is wildly oversubscribed. Historically disinvested communities need the capacity provided by this program to access $$$ for climate action. @CalSGC

#BIPOC communities are burdened by systemic racism, pollution, and disinvestment bc of #redlining. We need tools that see this and #equity practices to help remove systemic barriers. Thanks @Prof_MPastor for coauthoring this @latimes op-ed w @Greenlining https://t.co/lDib31D7IT

"Thanks to #climatechange, heat waves are getting worse, and #redlining left communities of color with the fewest resources to cope. Ranking heat waves will help us ID extreme heat as the life-threatening emergency it is." says @sonamohnot.
Our new report - Fighting Redlining and Climate Change with Transformative Climate Communities by @eminwang provides proof of what we already knew to be true: the #TCC model of community-centered governance works!! #TCCTransforms
