How many #Jackson, Mississippi’s & #Flint Michigan’s do we have to see damaged or destroyed before politicians act and do the right thing? #CleanWater is a human right. We have the resources & tools to address crumbling #infrastructure & the #ClimateCrisis - we need folks to act!

A map of tree cover in any city in the U.S. is too often a map of race and income. Trees are critical infrastructure that every person in every neighborhood deserves. How does your neighborhood's tree equity score compare to others in RVA? treeequityscore.org/map/#11/…
