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
ALT Against a blue background, text reads: THANK YOU TO OUR CLIMATE BUDGET CHAMPIONS! Californians need more leaders like Assemblymembers Mia Bonta and David Alvarez who support funding for climate equity programs like #TCC!

To make equity real in CA, #CaLeg must invest in community resilience–not cut equity programs from the budget!!

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. latimes.com/opinion/story/20…
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 latimes.com/opinion/story/20…

"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.
Together with Assembly Members Luz Rivas and Eduardo Garcia and Senator Henry Stern we are taking action to create the nation's first ranking system for heat wave impacts to protect Californians from this silent killer @AsmLuzRivas @asmegarciaad56 @SenHenryStern (1/n)
