Today is Indigenous Peoples’ Day, a celebration of Indigenous histories, cultures, and resilience. 🌱❤️

This day is a small first step toward acknowledging a long history of erasure and honoring the strength of Native communities who continue to protect their languages, cultures, and sovereignty.

But recognition is only the beginning. Real allyship is a sustained practice, not a one-day gesture. Listen to Indigenous voices, learn whose land you’re on, and support Native-owned businesses and Native-led organizations all year long.

Get to know our Fall Interns: Li Bolden

Li is a graduate student in Sustainability with the CHARM European University Alliance Program, and her studies have taken her across Europe. She loves being a bridge between disciplines and perspectives, and brings a holistic approach to everything she does. She joined HII to help counter the hopelessness many young people feel about climate change, and was drawn by the power of stories to inspire hope and agency while amplifying marginalized voices.
Welcome to the team, Li! ✨

Thank you to everyone who joined us last week for the Creative Climate Forum! It was a day of contemplation, connection, and an important reminder of the fortitude of collective action. ✨

We joined together artists, organizers, and change makers for a series of panels, performances, workshops, and immersive art installations sparking imagination and inspiration. From dismantling and disrupting in the morning to regenerating and reconnecting in the afternoon, we wrote letters to the future, made calls for the climate, and shared space for both the grief and the joy of this work.

Thank you to all of our wonderful partners, performers, speakers, tablers, sponsors, and attendees who brought open hearts and bold ideas to Pier 57. And a special thanks to Pier 57, PBS and Nature, and the NYC Department of Environmental Conservation for their partnership and support!

On September 20, we celebrated our Urban Environmental Health Lab (UEHL) fellows and the visionary art pieces they made to highlight environmental health and climate justice issues across NYC.

That afternoon, we gathered to listen to the fellows’ stories and inspiration, and also to reflect on the following:
What environmental threats affect my community?
How might art inspire collective action toward healthier, and more equitable futures?

We invite you to explore this exhibition, “Living Systems: Collective Power in Motion” until Saturday, October 3. Get inspired by local artists and community leaders while tuning into wave-sounds alongside a fellow-made beach, bopping to an environmental policy rap, and more!

To register for gallery hours, visit our link in bio!
📍Eleventh Hour Art, 61 Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn
🗓️ Wed-Fri at 12-5PM, Sat at 12-6PM

Special thanks to Carter at Eleventh Hour Art, who helped us curate the exhibition!
