Alderwoman Alisha Sonnier (Ward 7)’s BB 91 establishes and funds an emergency response program to provide shelter access, survival supplies, and public outreach to our unhoused neighbors during extreme weather events. Called Code Blue, this program will be funded using an existing 3% sales tax on ma*****na sold in the City.

Attendees can join online (www.stltv.net / youtube.com/CityofStLouisMO) or in-person at 1200 Market Street, Room 208, St. Louis, MO 63103

📢 Unhoused residents are at increased risk of suffering heat illness or death. Join us to support unhoused St. Louisans during extreme weather. Yes on BB91!

On October 12, St. Louis set a record we don’t want to beat: 94° in mid-October. 🌡️ It capped our longest 90-degree season on record, 191 days.

In the city, urban heat islands push temperatures even higher so it feels a lot hotter than the forecast says. Pavement and dark roofs are part of the problem. They trap warmth by day and release it after sunset.

Heat is the leading cause of weather-related deaths, and we can push back starting in our own communities.

☀️ Our Communications Intern Spencer Kates broke down what’s driving it and how we can cool things down. Stay tuned for part 2!

Missouri is rapidly becoming a major target for some of the largest data center projects in the country and communities across the state are pushing back. 🖥️

Last month, Franklin County commissioners voted unanimously to rezone Diamond Farm and Crooked Creek Farm from agricultural to industrial despite hours of resident opposition over noise, environmental impact, and proximity to elementary schools. Residents were escorted out by police and say litigation is next: https://youtu.be/vpa0qdYj4VU?si=COUC2NI9fkqZ1QRL

Concerned about a data center proposal in your community? Our Data Center Landing Page explains how these developments affect local residents and offers tools to help you and your neighbors decide whether to support a proposal.

Meet our two newest Advocacy Mini Grant recipients, working to improve environmental health and strengthen resilience in their own communities across Missouri:

🌱 Penrose Neighborhood Community Association-PNCA keeps residents informed on events, resources, and community developments. Members stay active in local government, combat illegal dumping, and organize frequent cleanups of neighborhood parks.

🌱 Kansas City Nature Works is a growing community initiative working to reconnect Kansas City’s urban core to nature through Blue River access, beautification, environmental awareness, and community partnership.

Eligible applicants can apply for up to $2,500 to build organizational capacity or launch a project that addresses an environmental health issue in their region. Mini grants are open statewide with no geographic limitation, and preference given to applicants serving historically disadvantaged communities.

Another staff retreat in the books! 💚 Our team works in every corner of Missouri, covering a lot of ground to protect the places we call home.

This time together allowed us to reset and recharge, celebrate our wins, and strategize about the environmental progress we want to continue building on.

Grateful for this dedicated bunch and every person who pours themselves into our mission. 🌱
