@rise4ej @scican_ej Street Science Community Celeb @rise4ej @scican_ej Street Science Community Celebration on Saturday, October 17th is a gathering to celebrate what becomes possible when community members come together, build relationships, raise their voices, and insist that the future of their community is shaped by the people who live there. At the heart of the celebration is our youth leadership program, the Street Science Institute. The participants will share their research projects exploring issues that matter to their communities, including food justice, land use, and air quality. We will also celebrate the Armourdale community’s collective effort to defeat Covanta’s chemical recycling proposal last year. Please RSVP to celebrate the wins, lift up youth leadership, honor the relationships that make collective action possible, and recognize the ongoing power of our communities to define and build the future they want: https://forms.gle/2rz3rJnQT7xYUW529 Street Science Community Celebration Date: Saturday, October 17th Time: 10am-12pm Location: KCFarm School at Gibbs Road (4223 Gibbs Rd, Kansas City, KS 66106) @kcfarmschool_atgibbsroad @rise4ej @scican_ej
#ClimateWeekNYC brings political and business lead #ClimateWeekNYC brings political and business leaders together alongside the United Nations General Assembly to shape large-scale responses to the climate crisis. For the environmental and climate justice movement, being in these spaces means advancing climate action grounded in justice, accountability, equity, Indigenous rights, workers’ rights, and community control, with affected communities, Indigenous peoples, workers, women, youth, and frontline and fenceline communities at the decision-making table. We go beyond “solutions” to define what a just transition requires: locally controlled energy, democratic accountability, and resistance to fossil-fuel and extractive development. We may not be at each other’s events, but across different spaces, our EJ family is holding the line, ensuring that our voices, rights, and self-determination remain central to climate action. #ClimateJustice #JustTransition #SelfDetermination @losjardinesinstitute @nrdc_org @themovingforwardnetwork @ceed_justice @rise4ej @scican_ej @poder.austin @ejforum
While #ClimateWeekNYC is happening, we’re on the While #ClimateWeekNYC is happening, we’re on the ground in Kansas City, on the frontlines, speaking up for the future we need — one that centers community solutions, public health, and climate justice . Communities must have a meaningful role in decisions about energy storage, data centers, and other large-scale infrastructure. Battery energy storage can play an important role in supporting grid reliability and managing some of the costs and stresses associated with rapidly growing electricity demand. But that does not mean every battery project is appropriate everywhere. That is why RiSE4EJ is involved because we know projects cannot be evaluated in isolation from the broader planning failures that have historically placed the burden of proof on communities with the least political and economic power. A rushed approach, whether driven by industry, large institutions, or well-resourced organizations seeking to accelerate development, it will create a two fold problem: communities left without the information or resources needed to evaluate projects, while developers move forward without clear, enforceable standards. The result can be hazardous planning that perpetuates the very environmental injustices climate policy is supposed to address. There are different scales of battery energy storage systems, and they are not all designed or operated the same way. That is precisely why we need strong, enforceable guardrails before projects are approved, not after harm occurs. We cannot allow battery storage to become another pathway for sacrificing frontline communities in the name of the energy transition. Who benefits from this transition, who bears the risks, and who gets a meaningful voice in the decisions? If the green climate movement is serious about climate justice, then the resources and attention that have historically supported campaigns against coal and other fossil-fuel infrastructure must also reach the grassroots organizations and frontline communities shaping what comes next. @climatejusticeradio_org @ewiseepeople @caroline_shults @carlosrramos7 @haswoodforks @otebMtz
