We’re 13 days away from our sixth and final Community Climate Assembly! With that being said we need everyone to join us as we need everyone’s input before we begin drafting a People’s Climate Plan for our Magic City.

CCA VI: Equitable Investments is happening 6-8pm June 22nd at Harvest Roots Ferments

To GND4BHM, Equitable investment means ensuring that financial, technical, natural, and human resources benefit communities that have been historically underserved and marginalized. The equitable distribution of resources must address pollution remediation, affordable housing, economic development, infrastructure, and workforce development.

We need your help at insuring everyone gets a piece of what’s to offer in future investments and has their voice heard. Register for CCA VI using the link in our bio! 🌱
